    Arrow Anyone have any GOOD cop stories??

    Righto, we often hear stories around here about how people have felt unfairly treated by the police, for various reasons. Sometimes justified, sometimes not.

    My idea with this thread was to get a collection of stories about how the police have been good to them, or helpful in some way, or perhaps let them off something for some reason.

    I have a couple to start it off -

    I was with my flatmate outside Red Baron in Takapuna one evening in December '07, looking at bikes through the windows when a cop car drove past and both cops were looking at us. The car pulled over and two cops got out and started walking towards us and we were both thinking, what's going on? we weren't doing anything wrong. Then one of them asked us, "you guys thinking of stealing some bikes, huh?" I said yeah, thinking they must have been joking. They were, of course as their next question was "can you steal a couple for us as well?"

    Turns out they were both awesome dudes, both bikers who saw that we were obviously into bikes and just stopped for a friendly chat. I wasn't riding at the time and was just looking at my first bike so we were chatting about that. We chatted with them for about ten minutes or so before they had to head off again, told us both to ride safe and wished me good luck with getting my learners and first bike.

    I also have a friend who is a cop and he is awesome, and when I wrote my bike off in a crash back in May last year just outside of Taupo the lady cop who came to the scene was very helpful. I was half expecting a bollocking but she was great.

    Anyone else got any to share?

    Cheers,

    Graham

    I was talking to the dude who own's the Gixxer 1000 at ITM in Newlands, Welly one evening on my way home. I had my Guzzi parked next to his bike when a motorcycle cop went past looking at us. Next thing he gives us a big wave and revs the Beemer up a little.
    Obviously a true motorcyclist !!!
    Cool !!!

    yea I have one

    My daughter, stepson and ex wife were nearly killed in aT-Bone accident few years ago.
    Local copper was one of the first on the scene and even he was left shaking.
    The serious crash unit did their bit and decided my ex wife was to blame so wanted charges laid.
    They didn't really expect survivors and were getting prepared to take her to court for manslaughter etc.
    Local copper took rank on them and laid it all out on the line.
    Ended up she only faced charges for careless use causing injuries.
    When he came to speak to me about it he was adamant no parent should have the indignity of being dragged through the courts because they had a crash (can't call em accidents anymore (Hot Fuzz)) and the injured parties were themselves.
    He didn't have to, they were quite right to charge her, but they lacked empathy.
    He is a parent himself and stated knowing that if he had a crash and his family was the lot injured then that was more punishment than any court could impose

    And then there's the one where my ex the cop and my Dad the contractor were conversing on the phone when a boy racer flies past Dad in the opposite direction through some roadworks, throwing stones all over his truck. Dad is swearing like a trooper and the ex asks what's wrong. Dad tells him and so the ex asks "Where are you?"...."Well I'm just down the road...oh look - there they go now" ...on go the lights and the siren.

    I know a few KBers (past and present) who are cops AND good blokes.
    A while back, my son got into trouble with the police. One of the arresting officers dropped his cellphone, and I found it when I went back to pick up my son's car. When I returned the phone to the police station, I had a good chat to some of the police involved, and they were all very reasonable guys. One of them was also a rider (GSXR1000), and I was quite late getting to work as a result of swapping bike stories.
    Look, in general, cops are just people, and so most of them are quite reasonable, but you get a few arseholes too. Unfortunately, according to some of the cops I've spoken to, some of the arseholes like to become traffic police. Even the other police don't like them and their propensity for handing out tickets, and call them 'snakes'.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    During my BMC car days my car was out of action so good ol' mum let me use her cars (being Hondas they went all the time where as mine, well um)

    So I was driving at my normal pace for back then and got into a spot of bother descending the Wallaceville Hill road. I entered the left just down hill from the lookout way too fast and after trying desparately to correct this horrible mess ended up with the car bellied out on the lip of the roadside ditch.

    I jumped out or the car and both me and my passenger tried in vain to get the car back on four wheels.

    At this point a patrol car arrives on the scene(within seconds I might add, hmmm).

    This can only look very bad as during my rather long slide I had locked the back wheels and the skid marks pointed to where things had started to go wrong also being a relatively sheltered piece of road the tyre smoke still hung in the air.

    I was getting ready to do some serious explaining when six uniformed officers of various rank appear from the car and promptly help us pull the car from the ditch. I'm getting my license out of my wallet and preparing the name, address, occupation spiel when the driver of the patrol car says you'd better get going before someone else sees this.

    I ask if there's anything I can do to say thanks (insert homo erotic act here) and he tells me to drop off a dozen at the station, sweet!

    Looking back on the situation I do wonder why six police officers were heading over that hill in one car that day
    I won't be pushing that issue though!

    Just a quick one. The cop at the end of Glenfield road who didn't spring me for 70... And same again for another cop at the bottom of a road close to home, same speed.
    Not reckless speed, just on the straights.

    Pulled over for my first time in er, November-ish or something, maybe October.
    "70's a bit fast eh?"
    'Yeah...'
    "Well seeing as this appears to be your first offence, I'll let you off with a warning. I know it's a bitch of a spot for me to hide. Big right sweeper down the hill to a wide straight, but been a couple crashes down here as of late. 3rd one being somewho who T-boned a spun out car. Also, your chain is a little loose there. Go to Holeshot and ask for a free tighten, say I sent ya. We aren't all monsters! Might see you later on. Don't forget to nod to every biker after 6pm '

    many years ago....

    Came off my bike near Hamilton,biffed through the air, tumbled along the ground, bowled through a wire fence.

    Ambulance sent to the wrong location, Police arrived first, Im laying on the ground, Blood all over me from a dozen minor wounds, In some serious pain.

    Cops accuse me of being a gang member (this amazing claim was based on the fact some had been in the area and I was in a T-Shirt, they claimed someone had removed "my colours" before they arrived FUCKIN MORONIC CUNTS), Tell me I look real bad (health wise) and there is going to be long term hurting, Start giving me shit about the flies landing on my wounds, and nudging me with their feet to bring on some hurt.

    The ambulance arrives and as I'm getting lifted into the back the cops are writting out tickets and resting them on my chest.

    Best experience I have ever had with the police, Dumb and deluded as a pet sheep, Insulted the fuck out of me, Cost me a lot of money, Made a bad situation a whole lot worse.

    Glad I pay my taxes.



    Chances are good I may have been being a bit uncooperative, But I had reason to be stressed.

    I was camping with 2 girls in the sticks outside of flagstaff arizona. it was still light when there were a bunch of gunshots (they were mostly pistol pops so I knew it wasnt hunters). The girls were scared and since I couldnt be bothered packing up and moving, I decided to go see what was up.

    3 guys in there 40's drinking beer and shooting crap out of water jugs, cans etc with a glock 40 (had just come out at the time) 92F, 357 and a 7mm. They eyed me carefully as I approached but as soon as I said gidday they relaxed and after a few rants about no pistols in NZ, I soon found myself being given a bunch of shots with all the guns. Then one of the guys goes to his truck and brings out an MP5. "Here boy, give this a try".
    I fired a few, very nice little SMG, then he told me to move the selector to auto and it really got fun. He stands beside me with an auto shotguns and blasts away.
    So Im shooting a full auto MP5 and look over the the guys and ask.
    "dont the cops worry about this kind of thing?"
    They all laugh, and the guy who handed me the MP5 says
    "Hell no, Im the sheriff!"

    Got pulled over because I nailed it round a corner like I was racing, and the cop pulled me over, then in a serious monotone asked me "any reason why you went around that corner so fast?" I said simply "because I love it". I think he really appreciated the honesty, and totally lightened up, pointed out some accidents he'd seen between cars and bikes, told him I'd been racing that bike and the tyres were amazing, and then told me to be more careful and sent me on my way. They have the power to do you for careless use, thankfully he used his discretion.

    Another one recently tailed me for a while on my new (to me) VFR400R thought he might be waiting for me to do something stupid but I'd seen him and was on my best behaviour. When he pulled me over, just checked that I was the owner, and sent me on my way. All good. Some are OK.

    Its just a uniform, no different to ethnicity, all humans at the start, middle & end of the day.

    Met WAY more nice police than I have bad, in fact i'm struggling to even remember a bad incident, they are just doing their job.

    NZ has one of the most honest police forces in the world, I never forget the smile that came over me when I first read that in the paper many moons ago. Bloody comforting thought I say
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
