Good cop #2

[Lou Girardin]

I think you're fooling yourself with the "many other factors' Marty. Instant on is the only thing a Valentine won't trigger on, because there is nothing to detect.
I've had 5 km's warning with constant-on driving on a long straight road (I
PS. started to think it was a false alert) and I've had over a km warning on a short burst of instant-on. But if you're not paying attention you're asking for a ticket.

PS. Who's Leo?

Come and drive on Auck motorways and say it's chickenshit. It's always dangerous and causes more accidents than speeding.

Do they even have multi lane roads down there????

Not when it is somebody travelling in the opposite direction who turns left into their driveway and nobody is behind them, be realistic, I obviously wouldn't be talking about motorways in rush hour

Hell ye ! - one lane in each direction!!

[Mongoose]

dangerous driving is a different offence to speeding, this is reflected in the penalties. why is poking your tongue out no offence, but poking your dick out offensive behaviour?

Have you ad a close look at your own dick? Maybe then you will appreciate the offensiveness of it.

[DEATH_INC.]

See above,you know the rules if you chose to break them,then be prepared to suffer the consequences of your actions,safety is a question of perspective you may consider yourself safe,if he doesn't who is right?

That's my point.If somethings obviously safe then what's wrong with it?Why can't the copper be free to decide?
If I was doing 50kph past all the mums dropping the kids at school I'd want my ass kicked,but at the moment it's legal.
Just because it's law dosn't mean it's right......

The problem is that people want law enforcement on "Their" own terms and don't want to except that anything outside their personal perspective of where the law sits should be acted upon.

You`re right,had a laugh at some guy down my mate`s place last week,moaning about some guy down the road`s un-taxed car.same bloke was there delivering the latest batch of pirated DVDs.

[spudchucka]

so the HP guys tend to be more 9T8H than 9TSH....

Roger that.

Off the topic, I just about fall over from laughing so hard every time a see a boy racer type with CD's stuck all over the front of their cars. Cracks me up that one.

absolutely not lou. the stalker is not a TR6. i know exactly how it works, exactly how to use it to it's potential, and exactly how to avoid being picked up by detectors. instant on is just one of the ways to avoid/minimise detection. i run an escort 8500 x50, and it often doesn't pick up stalker being used carefully - although i know the sh1 highway north of huntly pretty well from both sides of the fence, and where the radar is most/least effective, so i am accordingly careful

ps - he's been around for longer than you have

[QUOTE=Kickaha]So if we have a 100km speed limit why is 115+ speeding and 111km not?
reality is anything over 100km you can be ticketed for whether it is dangerous or not isn't the issue.

But the thing is there is a 10km tolerance, therefore to a degree the speed limit is 110kmh not 100..... Im saying that it is a joke if you get done for doing 1 or 2 kmh over the limit, but if your doing 5kmh over it is obvious to yourself as well as the cops that your speeding.....

Hey Marty did i see you on Point View Drive the other day???? you popped the wheel, went a little way and then turned back around onto Whitford road......

Turning without indicating. Here's an interesting philosophical question. Just as a tree falling in a forest can be said to make no sound if there is no ear to hear it, can turning into my driveway at 1 a.m. on a deserted street without indicating be an offense? Suppose some sneaky Mr Plod was concealed in the bushes and pounced on me, could I plead innocence on the basis that there was nobody to indicate "to" and therefore use of the indicator was pointless?
BTW I do this all the time... Saves electricity.

[bikerboy]

Still haven't gotten over it huh!!

Yeah, I'm only 90% over it. All charges have been dropped but one, so far, it is still being considered. The "offensivefer" was off duty, but lied saying he was on call. This cleverly proven false by me solicitor. hehehe.

If the sole charge (dark visor) goes to court, legal advice is it'll be thrown out, if the poo lice drop the charge then I have been unlawfully detainned, and given the Detective lied I can argue discrimination, and as he was off duty there are the civil aspects of the case. :-)

Bottom line: "naughty" detective had no reason (legal one) to pull me over in the first place, so all charges must be dropped, opening up all sorts of potential recourse. hehehe.

Lesson learned: Justice can be bought with a very good lawyer,

Advantages of being a rich c*nt, eh?
But you're a subversive bastard, insisting on the letter of the law and getting off on piffling technicalities. Where would we be if everyone did that? The whole fabric of society would be torn asunder. Thank God we have poor people who can't afford lawyers...

But don't think you've had the last laugh. They know who you are...

[geoffm]

All the ones I have nailed at 140+ were depending on their radar detectors - suckers!! on a good road with not too much traffic and the radar on hold the guy coming the other way is toast!!!!

Even without instant on, you would be pushing it to slow down in time on a windy road. No chance at all whith photo radar.
A long straight with the V1, you could slow down alright, but corners and hills change things a bit, especailly for Ka band units.

Of course it is still an offence. Should you be punished for it? Of course not.
