How come cops can get away with this rubbish?

[Skyryder]

There was a thread on this 'linked' subject just a while back. I may be wrong but I thought there were some posters who stated with some authority that if asked you were compelled to comply with the officers instructions in your home. I'm not up with this link thingy from one thread to the next.

Anyone??

"cops" get away with rubbish the same way you get away with rubbish.

Rofl. The irony. To know how fast they were going you'd have to speed too...

Oh well. Stop crying about it, see an agressive driver\rider on the road? Just let them go, and keep your eyes on the road. Cops are JUST people too, some of them do their job well, some just do it as they can. Its not their fault someone speeds.

And that "bite ur tongue" excuce, I bet you were about to shit ur pants.=)

I ride and drive everywhere in a 100k zone with 120 on the speedo. Thats because it really isn't 120k, its actually abuot 108-109k. Thats why I never get pinged, and I travel one of Welly's most "policed" roads every day.

So, in effect, you followed a cop doing less than 110kph, but you thought he was going faster. In reality, you probably drive everywhere at under 90kph, which pisses everyone else off.

If we are serious about getting rid of drink driving, this case should have been pursued. It 's shouldn't have to do with what the driver does for a job...

It didn't have anythnig to fdo with what he did for a job. He was not freshly pursued, so didn't have to do anything.... just like EVERYONE else in this country....

Bottom line; On the face it the 'top cop' got away with drunk driving by knowing the system and lying. It would also appear the police didn't try that hard to prove either way if it did or did not.

I also think it's fair to assume if I took time to fill in a police report about a drunk driver and the clerk said I would be hearing from them that I would. Sure the worlds not fair but why have a go at me for proving that to be true?

Bottom line is that although not processed, his integrity is fooked.

There i think i have solved the job losses here in New Zealand...... all people unemployed due to recession.... become a cop... theres heaps of jobs going?.. and werent we promised by the GOV another 500 or so cops??!!

Which is probably why we are getting so many people fooled by the 50k + free uni signs by the harbour bridge.

In busy areas where your doing lots of unpaid overtime those road workers on the harbour bridge are getting paid the same rate if not more given the hours put in.

The last people you want in the job are those who become cops because of the 'money' we all know where that leads.

Your forgot to mention that cops get the best dope.


Cop drink driving and getting away with it...some things never change in any country. I'm more concerned that it's possible to find people so easily using CarJam. Can't be good for single females or owners of exotic cars/motorcycles.

Talked to an ex Sergeant not who works with my wife, shared a few beers at the annual office bar-b-cue!. He worked in the force for nearly twenty years and had some amusing tales to tell. One that particularly caught my attention was after hours drinking and the general drinking culture within the force [during 80's-90's], it was apparently common place for binge drinking to take place and driving afterwards. He claimed that he was not proud of his actions and that the culture may well have changed since his departure. The drinking story [among others] gave the impression that the coppers behaved like real cowboys at least when he was around.

How do you know this cop was'nt needing to get there in a hurry, yet did'nt want to turn on his lights so he did'nt scare/daze/confuse other drivers.......? ...

I'm reasonably sure cops are meant to obey the same laws as us "peeps" unless they have their lights on

still they made the rule that they're exempt when their lights are on so I suppose they could make another one up which allows them to do whatever they like whether their lights are on or not ...

Obviously you didn't read my whole post, there was another 2-3 lines there, which explained this phenomenon to you....

How about, for example, they did'nt want to be seen coming? or/ they didn't want to freak out people coming the other way? (I also wrote this in my last post, if you had bothered to read it-that people do weird shit when they see these lights coming at them....especially on the open road)
Please explain what possible benefit there would be, driving with flashing lights on, on the open road, at night, when the road is clear? Apart from unnerving the traffic coming the opposite way, your not doing anything to help your cause, the lights don't make the vehicle handle any better, you realise that eh?

You deliberately missed my previous points out, nice one for jumping on the usual "cops are bad guys" wagon though dude, makes you real objective.....not broken record at all.
