Lying pig, scumbag filth

Not bullshit. The roadworks and speed signs were (allegedly) put up by a pair of cops as a sting. There were no roadworks in the area - just the 2 cops and their bullshit trap.

IF they did do that then that's about as bad as me and you dressing up in a blue uniform and start pulling people over. We have a bad enough ignorance as it is on road work sites.

[MSTRS:Me]

You're on your own there, sunshine. I don't do dress-ups....
Know what you mean re roadworks BUT and it's a big but...roading crews must have shitloads of signs since they leave them all over for months after the works are completed. No wonder people take so little notice of them - it's the boy who cried wolf syndrome.

I agree, I can't talk for the whole industry. There can be reasons( bumpy road, large shove etc) BUT there is a lot of lazyness and this is the bit that fucks everyone off.

Dude you misquoted me i didnt say :

I wouldn't put it past any of them...........it's easy money, easy to reach required 'performance expectations'.

peasea did.

Yeah I know - I didn't quote you bro.... did I???!!!! Now I am confused.

[MSTRS:Me]

Oi you two....fix your quote brackets + all will be well

How did he get sprung? Refuse to discount to the hierachy?
That bloke needs to be suspended. By the neck. Along with all the other P dealers.

Total agreement. Whatever the cops do or don't do they have pretty much universal support (from sane people that it is) when it comes to stomping on that crap. I've said elsewhere that I wouldn't want to be on the sharp end of a P-bust and a pat on the back for those that do it.

Anyone got firends/associates who've wrecked their lives with that shite?

The officer may very well agree in evidence that he was mistaken about throwing down the ticket or offering you to look at the speed, but so what? I can't see the judge being influenced by that. It is irrelevant to the charge.

There is a thin possibility that you could persuade the judge to discharge you as a warning to the police not to spice up facts - judges don't like that - but honestly the odds aren't good.

I have no doubt you are telling the truth. It is entirely possible the officer thinks he is also telling the truth. Memories aren't always reliable.

All this "evidence" is creating a character profile of yourself the judge would base his decision on, if its a smart arse cheeky fuck kinda of attitude the judge might not like that..... but if the evidence was correct and he simply handed his license over and took the fine that is a completely different attitude shown towards the justice system......

Great this will be another kick in the groin

Hes not even a policeman from what i have been able to find out.

Read that one, even tho it said TV3...

WTF is a "Temporary sworn member of Police?"

I assume he is on his 2 year probation period????

Or is this one of the famed copper graduates who can't speak English, and as a result, has been made a "Temporary" until his English improves?????????????????

A temporary constable is a civilian that is contracted to fulfil some of the duties of a sworn member on a temporary basis. They are usually used to guard crime scenes and look after high risk prisoners etc. They are not cops, they have not been trained at the police college, although theoretically, as a temporary constable they can invoke many of the powers bestowed upon police. This is necessary in the above mentioned scenarios where they may have to man handle a prisoner or physically eject any persons attempting to enter a crime scene.

They are vetted by police as employees and obviously they don't get the job if they have history for drug offending etc.

(Patrick: I'm sure you're familiar with temporary constables, I've written this for everybody else's benefit)

The headline by TV3 is typical of the gutter trash style of journalism that they are becoming known for.

Thanks Spud, but nah, I did not know that... all we get here is "Jailers" and they are mostly ex cops... Too true about TV3 tho...

The media have a lot to answer for , don't listen or watch them, it just encourages them !!!!
Patrick may be able clarify , but I believe temps have no power of arrest (this could have changed ?)
Sworn jobbies are the real deal.
Now , wonder if I could be a jailer ?????????? Gaz.

Temporary constables are just that, they do holdbasically the same powers for the limited time they serve. However, they get none of the training that cops get so if they ever tried to make an arrest they'd get shat on big time. As I said earlier, they are just used as scene guards, jailers etc but if necessary, (civil emergencies etc) they could be deployed in more "front line" roles.

An uncalibrated speedo does not give you an excuse for exceeding the speed limit.

I know; I've tried.

All it does is increase the court costs. I even went so far as to get a proper calibration test done on a dyno in Petone to prove that the Speedo on my 1989 Mitsi Galant VR4 read 105 when the car was doing 118.

Didn't help at all.

My brother had the same in his new Nissan van on the Waitara bypass. Got the speedo calibrated, sent in the certificate of calibration, showing a similar discrepancy and got off!
Luck of the draw, I guess.

..........
I'll make the prediction that I'll lose in court and the PCA will run my complaint through the shredder..............it's just another day at the office.

and...until we get an independent PCA, that's the way it will remain........
