Easy for you to say when you have no ride!!

This particular incident aside, where exactly do you think that will get you?? Fair enough though if you want to play that game but if you piss a cop off enough he isn't going to forget you in a hurry and you may find yourself the subject of further attention.

So might he. That's what the PCA is for.

Two years ago I got stopped on my bike outside of Greytown. Cop gave me a ticket. I didn't like it, but he was professional and acted in a manner that one would expect from a public servant. Gave me ticket I went on my way. No bad language from me, no pious lecture from him. I had an issue about where he was stopping people (within 250m of a speed change) but I took that up with PIB. People need to know that the police are not infallable and are bound by rules of conduct like everyone else. If they abuse their power or act unprofessionally and then take issue with the response and get vindictive, they should not be in the uniform.

Obviously, the Police don't know the truly clever crims.
And where is it written that ordinary citizens have to grovel to any cop that's having a bad day. It is they, the Police, who are required to treat people in a civil manner.
It seems that this cop baited jimbo and then penalised him when he bit back. (According to Spud)
Well, keep acting like this guys and your public approval, while not good now, will be positively subterranean.
I think the Police are forgeting that they're now in contact with far more people than ever before due to the 'take no prisoners' approach and if they treat them all like crims they shouldn't complain about being loathed.
You get back what you give.

Ask Deano about the cop who pulled him on Sat AM. Now that guy should instruct at the college. Made me want to rush back and amend the title to this thread. Shame about the numbnuts Inspector that fronted later though. Ruperts eh? Same in every force be in Military or Police.

Well it's Sunday and it's sunny and I'm over Fridays little incident so I'm back to my usual merry self. So lets all have a laugh.

Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself in a mirror.

Her frustration over her lack of ability to lose weight was depressing her.
In an act of desperation, she decided to call on God for help.

"God...if you take away my love handles, I'll devote my life to you," she
prayed.

And just like that, her ears fell off.

I don't think anyone here has said you have to grovel to a cop,and if the cops have to treat the public in a civil manner you'd expect the public to treat them the same way,but of course it's always the nasty copper who starts the trouble isn't it?.

Don't you think members of a professional Police force should be above reacting in kind?
Besides, nothing pisses off a driver turned feral more than a strictly 'by the book' approach.

[marty]

there is no legislative 'requirement' for cops to treat people in a civil manner. maybe there is an expectation, but if a cop pulled some great unwashed dude off your missus/kid/mum etc after having assaulted or infringed their rights in some way, would you expect them to treat that great unwashed in a civil way? i doubt it.

you're contradicting yourself here lou - you can't be civil - and be by the book - in the same breath. it just doesn't work. if i stop you for speeding on your scooter 500 metres from your house, and you didn't have your licence on you, if i was by the book i'd write you up for everything, if i was civil i might let you off the licence breach, however if i was civil, and by the book, you'd still be fucked off, especially as i gave you the ticket and said 'have a nice day' with a

and grovelling? no cop that i know likes being grovelled to, if anything that will get you maximum wanker points, associated with maximum $$$$$

Perhaps, maybe people should try basic honesty, Ya did it wrong put your hand up and admit it, it might just score a few browny points while you are at it.

Obviously?? How do you figure that? I suppose back in your days as a revenue collecting MOT you spent a lot of time busting sophisticated organised crime rings so you would be highly qualified to make such a comment, wouldn't you?

It is they, the Police, who are required to treat people in a civil manner.

I agree with you but joe public has to be aware that the use of police discretion is directly linked to the attitude of the driver. Police have to remain professional in the face of all sorts of abuse, its part of the job but tell me why they should give someone a break when they are being a complete twat?

It seems that this cop baited jimbo and then penalised him when he bit back. (According to Spud)

Thats one possibility put forward but how would I know, I wasn't there?

Loathed? Perhaps by a few social misfits like yourself Lou. You know as well as I do that public surveys and stats are misleading and don't show anything near what the actual reality is. The truth is that the majority of the public believe the police do a good job. While I agree that heavy handed traffic enforcement does alienate the public, I believe that the majority of NZ's are smart enough to see beyond this. Most people don't wear blinkers like your good self.

Oh so true in oh soooooo many ways!

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.

Stolen videos won't kill anyone. Some dangerous cunt doing 70 in a 50 can.

but down there they hide in the bushes on the motorway and get the 111 in 100 types!

Yup and we'll still tolerate P dealers plying their product on minors too eh? Cos that goes on too. Your attitude my friend is exactly why public support for police is deteriorating. Lets ignore Jonny public trying to make a living and pick on Jonny pay easy motorist.

As for dangerous cunt. Don't recall seeing you there at the time cockmunch so you don't know what the fuck you're on about. You don't even know what bit of road it was on.

Cockmunch
Steady on Jimbo,your almost down to my level.
I got'a remember that one
