White Ford Falcon ADD166 is NOT a mufti cop

No. But they're the ones who can issue tickets based on events that never happened causing you financial grief - it's your word against theirs.

I think this should be in the cannabis thread....

Tickets get issued if...
1. The cop sees it
2. Someone complains and the offender coughs
3. Someone complains, ofender doesn't cough and it goes to court... the court decides.

There is no such thing as "based on events that never happened..."

My understanding is that if an officer pulls you over or talks to you about any aspect of the law (ie. a reprimand or identifies themself as an officer) they must produce ID to verify that - even when they're off duty. To my knowledge (which is probably flawed) you are allowed to ask for ID (and it must be produced) before you answer any questions. Can any of our in-house officers confirm this?

BAHAHAHA

Strange the commission had plenty to say about dodgy police behavior.

if she connected hard enough that you noticed, chances are, she noticed as well.

Maybe she did notice ?

Perhaps she thought you might need to use her first aid kit ?

[Beemer]

What a cheeky bitch! Good on yah for not baking down

She was probably just trying to earn a decent crust!

"If not in uniform must produce I.D."

Apart from just saying I'm a cop , she's lucky she didn't go any further !
Sounds like it worked though ?
Another wanna be ? There's a few around and some work as civvies within the police, I've seen that before. Gaz.

What's cannabis got to do with anything - I've never smoked anything in my life except the odd tyre.

Try telling that company line to the guy who had to go to the high court to fight a speeding ticket he got (the JP's at the District Court didn't understand the evidence, so upheld the cops version - what a great system) when the GPS he had in the car verifed his speed as legal.

Don't even try and tell me the pricks don't make shit up out of frustration - the only question is how often. Until such time as a speed reading includes a GPS position and timestamp to verfiy when and where it was taken it's simply a case of cops doing what they need to do to fill their 'perfomance' quotas. The only place they have any credibility is in the eyes of the law.

Wannabe cops are retards. They usually end up creating more problems than they solve. I'm not talking about stopping a burgler or breaking up a fight but dickwads who think they're doing a public service. They don't have the training and have no idea what the law says - only their perception of what the law should be (in their eyes).

[Phurrball]

While I understnd and agree with where you're coming from re 'People in glass houses...' Ixion, impersonating a Police officer is a step or 2 up the criminal law food chain from trafic matters.

Courts and Police should, and (I hope) do take usurping or flouting their authroity very seriously.

If Ms ADD works for a 'Public service organisation', she should know even better than the rest of us plebs that impersonating a Police officer (and representing that you have the powers thereof) is a very bad idea.

I must to respectfully disagree with your decision not to report this woman (Unless you know something regarding her employer that you're not letting on...)

If she did it in the heat of the moment, she needs to explain that to someone in authority - and beg for their mercy (Whilst eating humble pie and learning a lesson she won't fast forget)

THAT sums up a lot of KBers judging by their posts......

Not (yet) a legally accepted way of measuring speed, can't say if it was/was not accurate .

And the famous line "YOU were there and know all the facts"??????

I wasn't, hence I'm not making a call one way or the other

I know this; GPS is accurate and it's not falsifiable - so what's not to be believed? The same cannot be said for some arsewipe cop with a quota to fill.

(the JP's at the District Court didn't understand the evidence, so upheld the cops version - what a great system)

JP's are there as a symbolic gesture only. The chances of a charge/case being thrown out at a pre-depositions or depositions hearing, are next to zero.

[Swoop]

They do pre deps and deps for traffic charges??

Didnt know it was indictable! lol

Where (do I) does it say traffic? EDIT: in my original post #46.
Are you making stuff up again? Anyway, why are you not in the donut shop, or is it closed for easter?
