Good cop.... and no bad cop :)

What would happen if everyone defended their tickets?
Courts reaching critical mass?

I think he is even on this board and is currently rolling around on the floor pissing him about whats being written about him.

Precisely why I'm saying nothing more.

Aha!! But you said that when you posted your last LAST post. So is the this the VERY VERY LASTEST LAST post, or just the nearly-to-last one?

I'm not sure how this fits in to this thread, but my second-to-last accident was right in front of two detectives, who stopped and made sure everything was OK, then pissed off quick, as they didn't want to get involved in anything that would end up requiring more of their time. A reasonable attitude; they did give me their names in case the other motorist changed her tune. But you'd expect most policemans to not get involved in any traffic stuff unless it was dangerous or very blatantly illegal/reckless/stupid. Sounds like what you were doing was none of these things...

More likely they pissed off quick because most D's wouldn't know where to start with anything to do with traffic matters, fair enough too, they have bigger things to worry about.

OK for good cop I'd like to nominate the HP guy on the Himitangi Straights tonight about 8:45 ~ 9 o'clock who only flashed his disco lights at me a wee bit rather than pulling me up for doing nearly 112 km/hr. Maybe he had better things to do. Thanks, whoever you were.

[Posh Tourer :P]

You sure you didnt just lose him very quickly Pete??

[pete376403]

No, was driving the car and my wife was with me. She managed to refrain from saying "told you so" for nearly a whole minute.

I've been let off a couple of late too,but just when you think the aren't so bad you get stories like this post.......

My "overtaking on the left" ticket was from officer number KSF016 - a Senior Constable Shirtliff. I don't suppose it was the same guy??

If what you say is true - give them hell.

So far I've got copies of everything on file including a copy of the officers personal notes concerning the "offence". Unfortunately I don't think it'll be worth pursuing through the courts. As you have more or less said it will end up being your word against the "fine upstanding 100%-truth-telling officer of the law". I've been in that situation and the bastard lied through his hind teeth and I wouldn't expect any difference now or in the future. The judge believed what the "fine upstanding 100%-truth-telling officer of the law" said, of course.

Mind elaborating on this one speedpro?
I know every cop out there isnt the best at his/her job, and some even may well have power-trip problems or the likes, however id like to hear your story on this particular one? If i thought it was a genuine beleiveable story i would go you at least halves in the costs to fight it in court.

Well that's what happens being an early adoptor.
The rest of us have had the chance to see if we like 2005 before committing to it fully.

While at it, the "officer" in the unmarked car, wearing shorts, singlet and jandles, with no proper ID, :

Sounds like you were just unlucky,from the way he was dressed it sounds like he was out cruising for a hooker and probably couldn't even get a skanky $5 whore with a dick to show any interest,so he decided to take it out on you.
