Police and their questions

**custom-cbr** · 21st February 2005, 16:50

Hi there, I was interviewed by a police officer the other week regarding speeding....

Now he was sitting in front of me and said "Do you know what speed you were doing?" I anwsered "about 140" he said that he clocked me at 185, I said no way was I doing that speed, and that I was going no faster than 140.

Question, should he offer proof of the speed he got me at?

I feel I was not going that fast.

If not then it's just your word against his, but guess who the courts are going to believe.

Did he ping you with a speed thingee in his car?
Then he should have shown it to you when you asked to prove it.

Did he follow you at the speed he stated you were goin then stop you??
Then that could be harder to prove.

Did he use a laser gun and then you were stopped?
Again he must show it to you when he asked.

Yikes I hope I get this right or the coppers on here will go after me.....lol

So this is why your bikes for sale, huh? And I guess you werent using the NOS?

Na, it's just time to give my bike a new home.....

Anyway thanks for the replys, I know that I was speeding, I had just passed some cars that were doing 100, and I know I did'nt go over 140, which I know was stupid, and I have learnt me lesson on this one.

Well the fine between 140km and 185km would be huge...
and the amount of demirit points as well.

You can go as fast as you like past 136kph, and still get the same fine and demerit points, not sure if that's a good thing :unsure:

Well yes and no....... they 'should' show you but they 'dont' have to eg: I watched a lazer gun speed trap the other day, the 'lazer weilding piglet' was on one side of a 4 lane rd and the 'pull you over and belt ya hard in the back pocket piglet' was on the other side 200m up the rd. The lazer fella just kept on shooting one after the other while his work mates, about four of em filled out fine after fine.

ps: note my norty word for police man/woman is an atempt to attract the buggers away from you...... crap her they come, you owe me Ms
