Highway Patrol making stuff up

**jimbo600** · 29th December 2006, 19:46

Interesting find when I got home from a ride today. Turns out I was speeding at a certain time at a certain place while crossing a double yellow. Thing is I was never at this place at this time so I have been subject to HP just inventing infringements. luckily I have a CCTV security system that backs up the fact that my bike was safely at home during the alleged offending. It also shows the HP officer rifling through my mail. Think I'll be having a word with the local district commander. I have heard tales about HP making shit up but always discounted the stories. Turns out they actually do invent bollocks up.

Man you'd think that they would've been clever enough to have waited until they actually spotted you out on the road sometime... Bet your stoked that you have cctv, bet they're spewing! hehe

WTF? You are joking right?

If you have him on film going through your letterbox...

I thought it was an offence to interfere with the mail.

Somehow you have drawn their attention. Not a good sign mate

Make a copy of your survelience, then contact the Police Complaints Authority and the media.

Maate! Gob-smacked

Have you been romancing his favorite farmyard animal or something? He must have some kind of beef with you and has decided to settle it in a somewhat dishonest way. Anyway, I thought that they had to stop you and discuss the infringement before booking you, or is that prehistoric thinking? Me thinks he is in the poo now

He didn't open the mail, just had a good fossick at what was in there. Still pissed me off though

Won't go that far. I have his QID so I'll go see him and his district commander

I'm not going to drag the whole police through the mud as they're always getting shitty press and NZ media aren't exactly unbiased towards the cops. One bad apple and all that.
