Last night's runner... (19 March)

[ManDownUnder]

And vice versa mate. Just cause the cops are chasing doesn't mean he's a criminal.

au contraire... "failing to stop" is an offence - no?

As is dangerous/reckless driving, dangerous speed, all of which I am sure this oxygen thief did during the chase... and all perhaps to avoid a $150 or so ticket...

(not that I in anyway condone running from the feds)

could have been riding around on 90 demerits, dreading the next cop who decides to ticket for bugger all (like 11%) over the limit... decided to run in order to keep his (or her) license, job, house etc

but then again, could have been some P'd out freak hyped up on party pills and cheap wine out on a mission to score the next hit

And if he was on 90, instead of 3 months for excess demerits, bump it up to a minimum 6 months or more for taking off and causing a pursuit. DOH!

Wasn't this guy was it?

IF they caught him (or her)!
Could have been "worth" the risk

[Smorg]

I presume they have his reg and will pay a visit soon?
...

not if he was any good and had half a clue, no point in running if the cops have your rego.

And that is exactly the problem here. Perhaps I support the runner, perhaps i don't. But as to circumstances we are speculating, and none of the known facts have convinced me to condemn the runner, conversely nothing we know says the runner is anything other than an 'oxygen thief'.

Where we disagree, is that i don't have a problem with folks running...... sometimes.

yeah and i couldnt find any out west, stopped and asked the cops for directions to the next tinny house, but they were the "non corrupt types".
didnt even take the normal bribe. bugger.

Obviously they didn't, hence the need to chase him putting Joe Publics lives in danger!!

LOL yeah good point. I'd love to hear the rest of the story... c'mon - spill. I want details... So, what'd they do?

[idb]

Not down here.

Bike impounded
Failing to stop for red&blue flashing lights
Dangerous driving
No motorbike licence
Doing 155kmh in a 100kmp area
Doing 112 in a 50 kmh area
Attempting to pervert the course of justice
Failing to indicate
And riding a Honda

Not the first time this guy has done a runner - but the old work addage holds true "why worry about it, he'll come again"

Now he pays.

Jeez!
You Balclutha guys have got no sense of humour at all!!!

[crashe]

Damn they came into my patch and I never heard a thing......




I want a scanner......

Cos there was nought from police comms email about this chase.....

[ManDownUnder]

Jeez!

You kidding... the dude was caught in posession of a Honda... Red Handed so to speak...!

[scumdog]

But what if he was just your average biker trying to avoid an traffic violation?

Like, maybe riding sensibly would have done the trick????

That would avoid a traffic violation for the average biker.

Sheesh!!!!!!
