Radars detectors legal?

[The Pastor]

Yes, its just a matter of telling the device whether the target is approaching or going away from you, (a press of a button on a remote control).

sounds so easy, even cops can use it! (you know coz they dont go to uni or anything)

What's an 'or anything'??

BTW: Shitloads of cops have degrees - I guess they slipped in when you weren't watching and got them quick-like eh?

University is over-rated, give me a high school drop-out, bachelor of common sense from the university of life any day over a so called academic.

But, as SD said, there are actually heaps of cops with degrees. Recruits are even required to complete uni papers as part of their post police college probationary study requirements.

Promotion up the ranks also requires university study, which may be why the top brass seem to become less and less practical and out of touch with the basic street cop the further up the food chain they get.

The truth is that the NZ police love university, especially Victoria but they also have a bit of fling occasionally with Massey.

Even I have a Uni qualification, (hard to believe I know); but since I'm qualified to your standards, if you ever want a lesson in how to use a remote control just ask.

just cause you've been too (or at uni there RM) doesn't mean shit.

Life is the biggest lesson, some never learn.

"Situation is normal. Talked about before Xmas. Labour don’t have the numbers to pass it as NZ First and National won't support a ban.Vote National and it’s dead in the water. Vote Labour and we will have a fight on next year probably."

Don't you trust politicians?

Hardly makes a difference, if you are going to use a radar detector to assist oneself to make a conscience effort to speed.

The response:

Thank you for your email below addressed to the New Zealand National Party Headquarters. It has been passed on today to the Hon Maurice Williamson MP in his capacity as National’s Transport Spokesman.

Mr Williamson has asked me to let you know that he is personally against the current Labour Government’s proposal to make the use of radar detectors illegal. National is still considering the issue as it develops its overall transport policy and an announcement will be made when that process is complete.

Yours sincerely
Bridie Wilkinson
