Nearly busted for flashing

[scumdog]

yup. Final request - badge number please, and the "name calling by police officer" leaves the Internet right now, or else it goes international. Your call.

nup you don't do you - spoken like a true officer o' the law. NEVER has any police officer actually done anything to assist me when I was victimised, yet they trip me on any administrative triviality at every opportunity, while simultaneously accusing me of wronging half of collective society.

You are beaten this time, how does it feel ?

DB

Shaking in my boots I am, shaking in my boots!!


BTW: How come those with the least number of posts always have the most to say - and in the most negative,abrasive and funny manner? (i.e Dave G and Dangerous Bastard)

And whose alter-ego IS DB? can mods check his authenticity - I mean c'mon, this guy can't be for real can he? eh? eh?

well, talk about false advertising. sigh. get home late after work, saw the title of this thread - thought, woohoo, flashing!! oh shit, someone nearly arrested/ticketed - uh oh, this might mean have to stop flashing the firemen, and other motorists.

Sadly, as I have learned, not only was it a completely different kind of flashing, (sigh) but that halfway through, an un-educated hill-billy (not u scumdog lol)from tiny little ONE-COP town, trying to be a big tough guy has tried to use this thread as a mechanism to work thru his anger issues.
Clearly Einstein here has never grasped the concept of networking abilities available across governmental agencies - in this instance the NZ Police. Hello?? Lets see, doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there's probably not that many folks down your way riding 650 hyosungs, and no doubt a quick search on the police pc's of the bike types and location would aid the process. Not suggesting that's what the law enforcement reps on this forum would do, since you're probably more like the human equivalent of a mozzie to them... but seriously dude?! good move shooting your mouth off like that

oh, and BTW: fair play Dumb whoops, DangerousBastard managing to negotiate the interweb thingy, and managing to spell words of more than one syllable. clearly yr sista-girlfriend's kept peddling fast enough to keep the power to your caravan going so you can post your "thoughts"...just wish she'd missed the pedals once or twice...


now. lets get back to the flashing!! will i get arrested for flashing the fireman's or what??!!

Fuckin hell, gotta love internet fights! they always start over some flippant statement dont they? quite over the top DB mate?? try calling NZ Herald and giving them the scoop on this story!

getting back on topic (maybe),

"If my client does see someone who is doing wrong, is it an offense to tell them to stop doing it?"

good defense! you could flash your lights at someone if you see them swerving over the road, if their tailgate's open or if some tie-downs come loose. Really, flashing your lights at someone who may or may not be speeding is doing the public a service, and HELPING the cops keep the roads safer.

One way of looking at it.........ding ding, Round 6!

Fuck, name calling on the internet! I'm surprised Reuters hasn't offered you millions for your story. But seriously, if you wanna make some extra bucks, you'd have more chance selling your snot on TradeMe.

... goes international. What a moron.

[Swoop]

Ahh. A blast of the "old" KB.

Bloody funny! You could hear the blood pressure increasing...

[onearmedbandit]

Of course, if you are silly enough to ADMIT that you were flashing to warn motorists, there are several things they might charge you with (though it's doubtful any would stand up to a determined defence). Just as they could if you held up a sign saying "Radar cop ahead".

Not true, and in England there has been a test case of this. A man was charged by the police for obstructing the course of law because he positioned himself a couple miles down the road with a sign warning of a speed trap further ahead. The case went to court, where the magistrate asked the prosecuting officer what the point of the speed trap was, whether it was for lowering the speed of drivers or collecting revenue. Of course the officer replied that it was to lower drivers speeds, to which the magistrate pointed out that this gentleman was actually helping the police and wider community, by encouraging others to slow down. Case thrown out.

ahhh - but did the guy holding the sign have a quota of people he had to 'help'

Good on the guy BTW!

Sounds like the cardboard patrol cars they trialled around road works.

It's actually nice just sitting back and watching the flaming instead of participating. With winter coming on I've found a new hand warmer; the computer screen.

In honour of Scumdogs harrassment I have set up a cafepress store selling high quality t-shirts with witty dangerous bastard quotes:

Proceeds will be spent on buying Scumdog beers.

Yup, the interweb after all is somewhat international by nature.
