I have an issue with hypocrisy when its to do with people who penalise you for not following a code, yet don't believe it applies to them.

The people that think that's a great way for our cops to behave are assholes as well.

That aside I don't believe all cops break the law whenever it suits, Plenty of them must have some moral backbone not yet burnt out by arrogance.

Perhaps if cops treated it as more then a job and as position in society worthy of respect they may get more of it.

That aside, I'm sure all KB coppers are saints and worthy of high praise.

Is there an oath by which individuals must swear when they attain the status of a New Zealand police officer?

I'd be interested to know, precisely, the wording of that oath if one exists.

Hypocrisy? Of course it's hypocrisy.

The policeman who rides, outside of working conditions, at a speed at which he would ticket someone else is displaying hypocrisy. The police officer who chooses to let them off because that person is a policeman is displaying hypocrisy. The police officer pulled over for speeding is guilty of double hypocrisy for not insisting that the ticket is issued.

Hardly a surprising answer from you Steve. Can't see past your own nose

This isn't a cookie cutter world, its the real world with real people. A bit of bend n flex in the right situations as MDU puts it below.

Struth next you will be telling us you have NEVER done anything illegal on a bike

Warnings where I could have rightly been ticketd, actually taking time to have a chat, showing me their side of things ... but also listening to mine. A little bit of bend and flex on their part kinda makes me think I should give a little too.

If I knew of an absolute, by the book, ticket everything copper doing that though... the answer'd be a firm no.

So you would think it's acceptable to have a police officer lie, under oath in court, simply to make his dodgey ticket stick?

Theres 2 ways at looking at life when it deals you a bad hand surely,A. Bring out the whaaaambulance and forever wail or B.Accept shit happens thats life and get on with it.Possibly wrong but so far so good for me.

I'll ride with anyone provided they are a competent, considerate rider with a good sense of humour and an ability to talk as much shit as I do.

Who gives a flying fuck what they do for a job?

When you have four young children and a wife to support, you relish any opportunity to get out and ride.

Sometimes I speed, sometimes I don't. If I was going to ride with a cop, and I have, I discuss the possibility of speeding with them first. If they have a problem with the idea of exceeding the speed limit, then we work out where we can go to get a damn good ride in and still stay legal.

Jeez guys, it's not hard. All you have to do is communicate and compromise.

That's a hell of a leap

You missed the point entirely, re read my post & MDU's Steve, you seem to live in this black n white world where the view extends not a jot past your own nose
