Newstalk ZB story: Police chase biker thru Waikato

[Squeak the Rat]

Just throwing some numbers around here.....

7,500 sworn officers.

Total non traffic related crime, year ending june 2006.

Recorded: 426,469
Resolved: 188,511

Any one have the stats for numbers of traffic violations recorded/resolved?

[Mr Merde]

Are there only that many cops in NZ?

More than the so called "Armed Forces"

Why do we need more personel to control our own population than we do to defend her borders?

???????????????

Please explain.

total number of people ticketed for road crimes: 192,347

now i ask you, safety or revenue?

[Robbo]

That's cos there are dumb-arsed rules about where spikes can be set up (Can't have little Cedric crashing his stolen Subaru into a concrete wall after he loses it when he ran over the spikes at 110kph in a 50 area can we?)

And Police are no longer allowed to completely block the road to stop a car, they have to leave an 'escape route'...WTF is the point of a road-block then??
This was after a 'tard with a car load of passengers ploughed into a fire-engine (I think, from memory) that had been placed to block the road for him and many deaths/injuries reslulted.

Like "Oh, fire engine blocking road, better stop" was too much to figure out??
Darwin rocks!!!

Fuck Little Cedric and Retards like him. Take them all out at any cost before they kill innocent people like you and i and our families.
BTW that fire engine could have easily been a car with your family in it and do you think that those little shitheads would have given that a thought? I don't bloody think so.
Keep up the good work SD

Cheers

Did you include your inane dribble in that count?

sure, i plucked em outta my arse just as the coppers do

[Paul in NZ]

Don't know don't care.

What i do know is that there are (on average) 35 accidents a month on the Paekakreki Hill road and virtually everyone of them is caused by people over estimating their ability - ie they drive like muppets. As a result we now have an 80 / 70 kph limit where once we enjoyed a 100kph limit.

Do I trust joe average to Police themselves? No - 90% of us drive like total dickheads. Given half a chance we would be way worse.

The whole revenue vs safety thing is just 2 meaningless theoretical absolutes that have no basis in the real world.

I disagree to a degree (chuckle). If the whole point is safety there should be measures to enforce good driving standards, not just the [perceived] fixation on speed enforcement. If the driving standards were improved then the speed limit could be higher on the hill.

No, I think it sums up your post(s) quite well...

Inane (adjective)
1. Silly or unintelligent

Having little sense or importance

2. insubstantial

empty or void.

exactly, and the focus would be on poor and dangerous driving not just on speed.

speed doesn't kill, bad drivers do

[Paul in NZ]

Funny thought just occured to me...

People here got all bent out of shape when Maori suggested Marae based justice systems might work. No no - you cant trust them to police themselves, one law for all, time those cunts shaped up and took responsibility....

Now driving.... Time we all stumped up and took responsibility I reckon. Speed might not kill (just proved that) but the irresponsible use of speed sure does. Sorry - most people drive like dorks and the beatings will continue..
