Cops that break the law

**Goblin** · 13th September 2008, 12:21

Oh and just yesterday I saw a cop do a U turn around a roundabout, talking on a cel phone then fail to indicate a left turn. It's this sort of thing that pisses me off cos I would get done for doing the same thing. These cops should be holier than thou on the roads but they dont give a shit.

Is that meant to imply there is something negative about being a wanker??

We (Pip and I) got pulled up in the Mackenzie coming home last Sunday via Tekapo.

I stopped but still stayed on the road and asked, why he had stopped us?

He told me to pull off the road because he had clocked me on his radar speeding at 116kph!

I pulled off the road and we got off the bike and I told him that I did not believe that I was exceeding 100kph.

The "serious" discussion that followed was quite humorous from both sides at times and he mellowed as it proceeded.

Long story short, the radar did say 116 but following our polite discussion, he took down my particulars in his note book and told me to drive on wishing us a safe journey home.

That guy has gone a hell of a long way towards reminding me that our Police are still just people like us doing a difficult, lonely and dangerous job.

(Dangerous! He was outnumbered two to one by a couple of rampant geriatrics, how dangerous is that!)

Respect restored, "NOT" because he let us off but by the way he conducted himself in his duties.

We continued to enjoy our ride home and felt really grateful that an otherwise happy Fathers day didn't get just a bit spoiled.

Nice to see that Police can still exercise discretion on their own authority.

I thought that was long gone these days, nice to be proven wrong by a country cop at least.

Cheers, John.

How many of you are going to care whether or not they had there lights flashing or what ever as long as they turn up real fast when someone is putting the boot in. They have a prick of a job without us slagging them off.

And i laughed all the way back bout it. ( he was most probally trailing me to pull me up )

Lay off the "P" - you're paranoid... Wasn't following ya, was going to the donut shop. Pissed off? Pfffttt... wouldn't have known about it, but thanks for letting him know....

Clearly can't see the forrest for the trees. Or is it the trees for the forrest????

How does the saying go? Leave it alone or you will go blind? Something like that....

All people from Hillsborough are wankers.... I know... I used to live there... Hang on... that sounds wrong...

I man walks into a pub, goes up to the bar and loudly claims "all cops are bastards", man down the end of the bar say "Oy!!!!" First man says "What, are you a cop?", other man says "no, I'm a bastard".
