My day in Court

[Swoop]

I really feel for you mate! You have just witnessed our legal system at its best?

Unfortunately I have to take an alternative viewpoint here. After spending time on a jury recently and wondering "what happened with sentencing" - to the extent of doing searches! Today I receive a letter from the M.O.J outlining the sentencing verdict for the case.
I have been most impressed - apart from the spelling though...

if you are a good enough liar you can beat the police in court.

Unfortunately, in the court case I refer to above, I witnessed one of the detectives openly lying to the court. Yes, it does happen. Luckily it did not bare relevance to the evidence submitted or the outcome of the trial. (No, I will not reply to your or anyone elses' posts regarding this).

The police are reknowned liars and really don't give a fuck about you or anyone else so; did you really expect them to stick up for you?

Liars in court? Yes.

Alternatively you could just let yourself get as bitter and bent out of shape as Ix3 retards...

This really deserves consideration of bling!!!

Bummer about your accident but two questions;
1) Did you really expect justice in this country?
and....
2) The police are reknowned liars and really don't give a fuck about you or anyone else so; did you really expect them to stick up for you?

Again, sorry to hear about your accident, hope you make a full recovery.

Oh yes, you know how to ask the tough questions...
Let me see...ummm question 1...weeelll...that was obviously addressed to Gareth and I don't know him and wasn't there so I'll let that one pass but question 2...now that...that's a statement with a question to follow...hmmm...hang on...I'll go and check the original post and get back on that one...

[idb]

...hang on a bit longer...I must have found the wrong post...I'll look a bit more...

[idb]

...shit I must be too tired or pissed or something...I can't seem to find the right post at all...give me a few more minutes...

....

The policeman stated when he was up on the stand that after I had impacted with his trailer my bike had been dragged 3 - 4 meters down the road in the direction the defendant was travelling in. There were scrap marks and debris on the road to indicate this. This statement by the officer makes a mockery of the defendants "walking speed" pace unless he continued on for another 3 seconds after I hit him, which is very improbable. The judge ignored this piece of information from the police officer....

Shit Peasea, sorry mate, I know that you know a lot more about cops than me but is this the bit that you're referring to?
Have I chopped too much out?
This is the only bit that mentions cops at all.

[idb]

...As the police officer said "Now we know who he is and what he's like, he's a marked man. He'll get pulled over everytime an officer sees him in Rangiora. Also if he keeps driving like he was that day we'll get him, unfortunately, when he kills someone.
....

Sorry Peasea buddy, I didn't look hard enough...he did mention the cops again.
Ummm...damn...now I've forgotten what you're point was.
It's too late for me anyway...when I get to this time of night I sometimes don't read posts properly and my own biases make me see things that aren't there.
Best I catch up with your insights tomorrow when my head's clear and I can maybe understand tough concepts ...like why sometimes black is white.

I'm puzzled.... surely the road worker was a witness...

.....

The third reason is that a road worker walked in front of him as he made his turn and he had to stop or he would hit the road worker.

The third reason was the killer. Made up of lies on top of lies. The defendant stated that he slowed down too less than walking speed to avoid hitting this road worker. Then saw a look of shock on the road workers face as the worker looked past his vehicle. The defendant turned and saw me ride straight into the draw bar of his trailer.

What did he have to say?

I've always told the truth to the police and been looked after by the police before so yip, I did expect that the truth would prevail and justice would be served...perhaps it was and I'm just not smart enough to realise it?

To answer your second question, the police officer was actually a friend of my landlord and I'd met him a couple times before. He was really gunning for this guy because he'd seen an accident like this a couple weeks earlier where the same thing happened and that biker had died. He definitely cared!

Sorry to read that Gareth123, it really sucks.

I bet the cops were gob-smacked too and more than a little riled at the guys bullshit.

Hope the prick get T-boned by something bigger and loses in Court too.

They were a bit awestruck by what the judge had to say. I could see the police officer getter angrier and angrier as he had to listen to the judge's summary.

why did you come over a dip at 100 kph tho...if i come over something like that that is fully blind i slow down so i can stop if need be....

ahhh well shit happens right.....

and yes...you are beinmg biast to be brutally honest.

Yes I know I'm biased The dip I mentioned is hardly a dip at all. I can sit in a lowered sports car at the top and see down the whole thing quite clearly. It was just an excuse he was using. If you want I'll get you a picture of it.

I'm puzzled.... surely the road worker was a witness...

What did he have to say?

He didn't have anything to say. No one could find him at all. They scarpered pretty quickly I'm told and the policeman, more concerned about my welfare didn't catch who they were. They weren't doing official council work and nobody, not even the defence team could find them. I know the police looked! I was there as he made phone calls to the council etc.
