Unbelieveable cop negligence

After following this thread - I think it is quite probable that there was some confusion in the cop's telling Quasievil of the outcome. (that the driver was allowed to continue driving.)

If the thread is to have any validity Quasievil would need to verify that point. But who can blame him if he just wants to flag it???????????

THERES PLENTY TO BE GAINED BY BITCHING HERE, FOR A START IM INTERESTED AND WANT TO HEAR WHATS HAPPENING, AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE ALLOWWED AN OPINOIN .
IM JUST REAL SUPRISED THE POLICE LET HIM GO WITH NO LICENCE BUT IVE BEEN WITH A GUY WHO WAS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO RIDE WITH NO LICENCE AS HE INSISTED HE DID HAVE ONE IT WASNT ON HIM AND THE COMPUTER THEY WERE CHECKING WITH MUST BE FUCKED, HE WAS RIGHT AND THEY TOOK HIS WORD FOR IT.

The law as it stands was clearly written by someone who has never had to enforce it.

If the guy had no licence at all he would have been forbidden from driving. It's a legal process. If he was then caught driving the car would be gone for 28 days.Trouble is, if he is in breach of an existing licence (like driving a car on a bike licence, or breaking every condition of a learners or restricted) all the cop can do is write the ticket, and let the lunatic go on his way. I guess that one was written by someone with an interest in a career in the Treasury.

In future you'll have to carry your digicam with ya so so you tape proceedings. Cannot surely be more compelling evidence than this.

IMHO. I'm glad you managed to avoid disaster. Pity you cannot say you have learnt much from this that will help you in the future though.

Keep safe everyone

Amen, preach it brother!

The criminal system should be punitive not restorative, we dont need to just lock them up for longer, we need to make prison so horrible that scum fear to go there.

I'm not a huge fan of america, but that have some things right when it comes to the penal system. The 3 strikes and your out system for a start.. Plus I'm a great fan of Joe Arpaio, althoguh I dont think he went far enough.

We really need a return to bread, water, and hard labour for minor offenders, and the death penalty for serious offenders. If tagging got 5 years on a chaingang, and burglary got 20 years in a quarry breaking rocks, then I think we'd see a reduction in crime!

As for the lefties, they blather on about human rights, but goddamnit when are recividist offenders, or even first time offenders in certain types of crime (sexual crime for instance), I honestly believe they loose any rights they may have once had.

I used to think the death penalty was good for two reasons...........
a) It stopped re-offending
b) As a taxpayer my tax money wasn't wasted on feeding and keeping people who do not deserve to live (mainly paedophiles, sex criminals, and murderers)

Since then I have grown wiser I believe. Yes those convicted and killed by the state certainly cannot re-offend...........
But Studies in the US have shown that it costs the state as much or more to send criminals to death row, because of trials and appeals etc etc. Police can mess up investigations because unbelievably they are human too. A jury is only as good as the citizens in it. And only God knows how good they are. Lawyers can win or lose their clients cases on minor technicalities! People have been wrongly committed before and will in the future, so how will sending them to death row help society????

I think I have matured somewhat..................... :spudwhat: :spudwhat:
