Police put drug driver on road

[peasea]

My old lady has worked at the 111 center for years,next time we speak i will tell er she needs to change her part of the conversation if they ask for the police,"sir/madam you dont need the police there the ones at fault" caller "no my cars been stolen i need the police" mum "doesnt matter sir a recent survey on KB showed that the police are to blame for everything".

Just start with "the police are to blame for everything" and save precious time.

Ah yes, the 21st century credo - "It's not my fault" - no wonder NZ is getting ahead so well....r

Nowadays somebody that had been binned for DIU would do a PCA 'cos he wasn't just made to walk home..

But seriously; it ISN'T my fault. I keep telling the judges that.....

As for NZ, I think it's doing ok, what's a few billion? I'm doing ok and we're off to Waipara to see Jimmy Barnes and The Feelers next w/e, so if there's a recession could you please email me some information about it? We burnt several gallons of fossil fuel today and it felt great.

It'll be interesting to see if the tickets I'm likely to get in the V8 on the journey south could be written off against the pressures of the so-called recession. ("I was reserving kinetic energy coming off that hill, your honour") No hang on; I'm applying for the police force, I don't speed......

I doubt the sunrise will be affected by any recession, or any climate change b/s for that matter.

If you remember anything from the 70's you weren't really there. Mate, the acid was great, purple barrels, grey barrels etc, the pot was intense, Led Zep, Rare Earth and Dark Side of the Moon.......

My parents worried....

Now it's my turn.

That reminds me of the guy who was in the Sunday News who bitched because his car was impounded at a checkpoint for unpaid fines. He was upset because he had to walk home through the bad part of the neighbourhood.

Of course, the Sunday News was aghast because of this - no mention of the fact that this clown had racked up a whole lot of fines which he hadn't paid.

Of course, it wasn't his fault. He was a victim of.... ummm.... something.

There is simply no excuse for leaving any motorist or biker stranded on the side of road unless there are safety issues involved with their driving. Unpaid fines that's a no brainer. There are plenty of repo agents about.

[QUOTE=candor;1957380]Drinnan's lawyer, Julian Hannam, of New Plymouth, said it was obvious looking at the police video interview that his client was heavily under the influence of drugs.

Julian also fails to note that people come down from a Methadone dose very quickly...

"He was mumbling and he was aggressive. He was clearly on something," he said.

"There is a certain amount of consternation now when you look back on what occurred that day. If a guy was p....d and they knew he had access to a car, would they let him go?"

No. But if he sobered up (because you come down from a Methadone hit quite quickly), and they did not know he had access to a car, then.....? Let me guess... you have to let him go, perhaps?

Mr Hannam plans to make a submission to the High Court on Tuesday questioning police actions leading up to Drinnan's release.

Cool. I hope it leads to the removal of the right to bail.

No, I give a big tick for cops pulling people off the road when said people are well into the FUCKING DANGEROUS category, as was referred to in this thread, regardless of whether the procedure they use will stand up to public or legal scrutiny. Just do it, but don't cost yourself your job.

Ummm... last time I looked, locking people up unlawfully never has stood up to public or legal scrutiny. Just doing it will cost a job.

[Indoo]

Yep that lawyers a complete retard with no knowledge of the bail laws.

His argument basically is that if your drunk or on drugs and have a car or access to one that you should not get bail until you are completely and utterly sober. Which would be great, if he wouldnt be the first to sue the Police for unlawfully detaining his client under the BOR act for unlawful detention.

Lawyers can mumble and be aggressive too!

Aaaaah some things to consider there - like if sobre on leaving stn where'd he get all the dope and drop it on his way to get dosed? A group could turn out at sentencing tomorrow to hackle the lawyer for some consistency "Yah you didn't want bail then but you want it set loose now M -****** "
I feel this Drinnan is going down big time, due to who the victim was and other stuff. No one thirds release on manslaughter if time not house detention is a prospect here.

He is actually not too shabby at all. Quite approachable. Just shifting the blame from his client, is all...

Then again, could it be a media beat up? They are good at that.....

My understanding was he drove some time after being released, and crashed and killed the old fella.... "he has his sources," shall we say....

Not meaning to stick up for the cop, (well... maybe... just a little...???)

There is only one person at fault here, surely????????????????????????????? I am certain the cop wasn't driving while stewed up on a cocktail of various drugs........
