Boy racer website attacks city police

Police are investigating the legality of a Palmerston North boy racer website, amid boy racer claims of police brutality.

"We are currently looking at the content of the website in terms of whether the authors of the website are inciting unlawful (street racing) acts," Palmerston North police area commander Inspector Pat Handcock said.

"We are in the process of seeking a legal opinion in respect of that."

The website yesterday featured, among other things, photos of cars doing burnouts, derogatory remarks about police and information on police scanners.

The front page of the website also asks for the personal details of a police officer who was allegedly violent toward them, a boy racer told the Manawatu Standard yesterday.

Mr Handcock said police had concerns the boy racers are seeking personal details of one of their police staff through the website, but would not comment on the violence allegation.

"If they have got a complaint to make they can get in contact with me."

The website said: "A reward goes to the first person that gets us (officer's name) personal details.

"This is due to his 'cool guy' tactics last night. text it to (phone number)."

A boy racer, who declined to be named, said they wanted the policeman's details because he was "getting a bit violent" toward them.

"We want to get in touch with him.

"We would like to know why he was doing those sorts of things and what he is going to do about it."

The website was there for entertainment.

If the police pulled it down they had a back-up plan that would see the site up again within an hour, he said.

"We don't incite anything through the website.

"It's just there for a laugh and it's there to make our opinion known."

Boy racers would do their thing whether the site was up or not, he added.

Anywhere between 50 and 200 people met every weekend for street racing in "lots" of locations around the Manawatu. The public was not put at risk.

I'm no fan of boy racers but it would be censorship approaching a Chinese scale if they take down that site. Fucking ridiculous.

Ruddy stupid article, rabbits on about the website, and doesn't provide a URL so people can see for themselves. Damned poor journalism.

Agreed Ixion.

I'm sure Uncle Helengrad would like more control over websites and free speech, so it is no surprise the Govt's revenue gathering team want to shut it down.

On the topic of hoons.... I am sick and tired of tossers (young and old) leaving black tyre marks on the streets. It looks terrible and is the same in my view as graffiti damage - ugly and hard to get rid of.

We people who work hard, pay our taxes and for many years save up to be able to own homes shouldn't have to put up with the streets being marked and wrecked by scumbag dickheads who think its cool to mess up someone else's street while they show off and then drive off to their own homes somewhere else.

I hope they get their shit cars impounded, every one of them and that someone does a burnout on their driveways.

Very interesting - a number of those same charges could be leveled at quite a number of KB posts...

**enigma51** · 6th January 2007, 15:17

yip was thining the same thing mandownunder

**Steam** · 6th January 2007, 15:39

And some of the things the KB bobbies say could also make interesting reading like this;

"Senior Comissioner Smith repeated the views were the officer's own, and did not reflect on the police as a whole..."

It's good there's bigger news to write.
