I blame Labour. I don't care to elaborate as it is late and I am going to bed soon, but for the record, I blame them for a lot of these sort of things and would sooner cut off one of my toes than vote for those communist, socialist, anti-family, anti-anything positive bunch of useless twats. I don't really blame the cops, they work with what they are given I guess.

Hehe.. nice one Hitcher...

On a fun and serious note all at once, you'ze no doubt caught the action on the news about the P-lab in Hamilton this week, well turns out the bloody thing is 5-doors down from my house, has been bloody inconvenient, let alone worrying, considering its possibly been operating in the neighbourhood for a number of years.

here's a wee vid I took from the mailbox (zoomed in slightly)...

some of us picked up one or 2 stolen cars and a couple of druggies a week, once even a murderer who was wanted for failing to appear.

somegood finds?

car/trailer with hydroponic set up en-route for fitting to a house. 400 plants in the boot.

international druggie wanted on warrant with 1/2 a kilo of meth under the seat, $600k cash in the boot.

chasing a motorcycle 'club' member on his harley - he fell off the road and died 2 minutes after losing me in traffic - $250k of meth and $100k in his bag.

stopping a semi for speeding at 0300am one morning. 50 4wd motorbikes in the back of it - all stolen from the south island destined for outback aussie.

there's heaps more. i'll leave those for my book.

Yeah but look how many 'speeders' they could catch while busting each P lab.

It's the Govt not the cops I take umbrage with over this. As for Annette King claiming there is no quota - what a crock of shit.
