Traffic cops suck cock

[Kickaha]

If you are planning on driving then make sure you have your licence on you.

If you weren't speeding you wouldn't have got pulled over in the first place.

If you weren't an ass then you probably wouldn't have gotten the ticket

What he said, in simple words,you screwed up, but you'd rather blame some "some fucked up ex MoT ernie traffic wanker" than accept resposibilty for your own actions that lead to you being ticketed in the first place.

Read my thread properly. I accepted totally the reason for being pulled over. 70 in a 50. Too bad my fault. What I took exception to was the fact that I got lectured to for not providing information that I am not obliged to provide.

If the fucked up ex MoT ernie traffic wanker would have waited 5 minutes I could have walked home and produced my license.

I also get very pissed off with the whole traffic attitude these days. You ask a detective about trying to mount an operation to get a 'p' offender. Wont happen in June as there aint no cash.

You didn't say that before,Sorry I didn't read much past Traffic cops suck cock.
I have a very good friend who is a traffic cop as you call em,.
He most certainly does not suck cock and would be the first person to give you a hand if you needed it.
If what you say is true,and I don't doubt it, then sure take it up with somebody that can really help but please don't exspect not to get a rise with the statement TC's suck cock.

yeah alright fair enough. Just angry at the time I guess. Pass on my regards to your mate

[jimbo600]

ummm and I think you are required to supply your occupation...maybe someone more knowledgable can expand on that??

"If you are suspected of committing a crime, you must tell the police your name, address, date of birth and occupation."

Nope,

Bill of rights name address date of birth only.

Oh fuckup spud.

He was wrote the ticket after I answered all polite like and quote "I have no reason to be speeding my fault I was just not paying attention" He also wrote me up before asking for my name dob occupation etc as he had to refer to comms to get the info on account that I didn't have my license on me at the time. Bottom line he and hos mate were being right wankers. Also the local video library got ripped off last month and they are still waiting for a visit from the local cops. Easier to police the roads I guess.

Hell yes.

I raised that in an earlier thread. Knowledgable crims piss off the cops no end by sticking to their rights.

Eh? never been pissed off by a "knowledgable crim" but sometimes their 'knowledgable-ness" has cost them $400+ more than it needed to

Yeah, and if the cops got called to a crash 20km away you were still going to chase him up? - bad luck- harden up, the cop has probably heard that story 50 times before and is starting to get a bit cynical ( sorry if I come across that way too )

[scumdog]

I got done for not having my license on me once. Actually I got hauled down to the police station for a breath test and passed it so they slapped me with that instead.

Without trying to sound unsympathetic, you can hardly blame the cop for doing his job. Also if you wanted the cop to do you a favour and turn a blind eye, getting all angst and pissing him off is hardly the way to go about it!

The reason you need to have a license on you is pretty obvious, you could be some unlicensed overstayer on his way to run a red light and kill some old lady for all he knows.

I've had countless raw deals from cops and every single time it was because I broke the law and got caught. No one to blame but myself. I've learnt my lessons and now I play everything by the book and you know what?....life is so much easier!!

Hoon, you are so honest it is unreal, good on you, I wish everybody was that realistc and self examining, top marks to you.

[scumdog]

i have been dicked soooo many times by people not producing ID, and giving their brother/sister/cousin/random/stolen details that if i identified an offence other than a licence breach, and they didn't have their licence, then they'd get both. i know my number off by heart too, but i don't expect it to get me off a ticket for failing to produce on demand. it probably wouldn't, as the number is just that - i could read your name and number in your wallet at the supermarket/the taxi ID/the keys holding the licence that you found etc (if you could find someone matching your description), and spiel that off if i really wanted to. now THAT would piss you off. (the taxi one is a true story by the way).

Me too Marty,you would not believe the number of disqualified/suspended driver that say ' I left my licence at home but I know the number and it's xxxxxxxxxxx' - yeah right, I've just checked you out and if you come with me we'll check it out o.k.?- hah, that gets a different reaction.

On the way back home some fucked up ex MoT ernie traffic wanker pulls me for speeding 70 in a 50 (fair enough)

I did read your thread properly and perhaps my interpretation is different than what you intendeded the above is accepting responsibility for your actions

but gives me a $55 hit for not having a license. The distance from the stn to home would be about 5km's. Now someone please explain to me why the $55 for no license is going to lower the road toll.

That isn't,it seems as though you took exception to more than just being asked to provide information you weren't obliged to.

For fucks sake,why is it just about every time someone gets ticketed they have to have a bitch about it,if no one knows the road rules and what they can be penalised for, what the fuck are you even doing riding a bike or driving a car in the first place.

Not aiming this next bit specifically at you Jimbo
But if you get ticketed and its a fair cop pay up and shut up,if you don't think it's fair then put your money where you mouth and write in or contest it in court.

[Lou Girardin]

Gee, how did we get so many disq drivers all those years ago. No photo ID, a computer system that was down more often than working. Must have been good old intuition.

[the yoshie]

Jimbo unlucky mate but they are doing A big bust around the coast this weekend so don't forget ya license take ya bike next time

[sAsLEX]

heres a question for the ,over the years I have accumulated around three photo drivers license, now I can keep one in the wallet one in the bike and one in my c*r.

Now if I get pulled over, after leaving my wallet and in date license at home, I pull out my spare(probally out of date) to prove my identity etc.
Now this achieves what you have said is wanted from having a license, but as its out of date would a plod charge me as I still dont have a legal license on me, even though the old one proves that I hold one.

I've done both. I shut up and out up on the speeding as I haven't got an issue with that. I fucked up plain and simple. What I am miffed about is the no license thing. I was plainly in running gear and I thought you could employ a little discretion these days. It was after this detail I refused to proffer my occupation what invited a curt oration from the HP about attitude. Hence I have written in about it.

I understand that HP have a job to do and that's fine. I also have plenty of respect for "real" cops especially on the resources they are limited too. But personnaly I cannot stand HP. I think that they are a blight on the force.

If there's no money, they obviously need to collect some revenue........

I nearly got done for the 'not carrying a licence' about six months after I got here. I sorta knew you needed to carry it, but wasn't yet in the habit of doing so (its not a UK requirement). The guy let me off with a very mild warning, which I was extremely glad to recieve, as the car I was driving could have charitably been described as a deathtrap, and had been made more so by an incident involving a wet road, tyres with no tread and a tree about a week before. If he'd been in a worse mood, he could probably have stuck a grands worth of car-related fines on me, which there was no way I could pay at the time. I made sure that p.o.s. got hauled away and crushed when I finally got myself sorted out here.

So thanks to whoever that was who pulled me over for cutting me an enormous (and undeserved) break.
