Hypothetical situation

[been_there]

Hypotheatically
You'd be a fuckwit if left your mate high and dry...
think about it...How would feel if u where charged for his stupidy?

just my 10 cents

[forkoil]

Who was your (ex) mate Stranger?

[buellbabe]

I can't think of a situation where I would ever ask someone to take the fall for me.
I sincerely believe that its something I would never do... strangely tho I think given exceptional circumstances I would be prepared to take the fall for someone else...

A while back a group of friends arrived at Mangawai to meet up with myself and another mate...anyways they had a cop tailing them who was threatening to do all of them for speeding unless the ride leader owned up.

Well it just so happened that the ride leader was pretty maxxed on demerits so his mate with the least amount of demerits stepped forward and said "it was me". They have known each other for a couple of decades and I guess its an unspoken understanding between them that they always 'have each others back'. (Of course the ride leader paid the fine ...)

No, the person who is wrongly accused needs to stop being weak, and stand up to the fuzz and tell them prove it or fuck off.

So, Your stance is if someone else is in the shit for your actions they need to man up and fight it out to their own detriment?

God damn I hope you try that and whatever poor soul has the misfortune of suffering from your shameful actions knocks you the fuck over.

Ya know the responses to this pole really show the character of the respondents which I find frightening in some cases.

What's your point? or did you just post that on a whim?

My point is Noel's tends to teach people stuff - not only how to ride. The very fact he posed the question in here indicates someone has something to learn.

Whether they have the balls to or not - that'd be over to them

If your mate can't be bothered fighting for his own rights - that's his tough shyt

What if fighting for those rights costs money vis a vis a lawyer? Is it still his tough shit? Ay what point does the real lawbreaker step forward?

It depends on the gravity of the situation surely!
Traffic offenses can generally be defended with out any cost if it's just a minor infraction - I've done it successfully on occasions (lost on occasion as well)

Ay what point does the real lawbreaker step forward?

If we're going to be pious and spout about 'law breakers' coming clean; why not suggest everyone who has exceeded the speed limit 'man up' and turn themselves in! It'll Never happen.

Hypothetical situation
?

So 'Hypothetical' is in fact a reality? So back to what I originally posted

I was agreeing with SixpackBack - unless we know what they got 'snapped for' it's hard to make a call on the question asked

[Mikkel]

Well, if it's just the usual summary justice bullshit that passes for "right of due process" in these parts, I'd assume that there's not much to do to get your mate out of the shit besides standing up and taking the blame. So of course, that is what you do - unless your mate wants it otherwise.

That said, if it is a criminal offense they have to prove that you are guilty - not the other way around. If two or more people know that the accussed is innocent, then that ought to be fairly difficult for the prosecuter.

The law is there to protect the people, not to extract money from them or handing out ridiculous punishments.

Sometimes it is a case of "This friend of mine has a nasty rash that itches..."

[FROSTY:Me]

Sometimes it is a case of "This friend of mine has a nasty rash that itches..."

Sometimes its also a case of --OYY you !!! yes YOU!!! read this and do the right thing --without naming names
Giving the "offender" the opertunity to sort matters out for themselves

[The Stranger:Me]

I'll admit that I assume it was a burn out or similar, not this particular level of traffic offence.

Ah yeah, stupid shit, say burn outs, wheelies and/or stoppies at an inappropriate place - say. NOT killing someone.
Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't consider those thing in and of themselves stupid, but time and place.

But what I meant was that sometimes it is the first person's problem, and they want the info without letting on it's them...
Not likely in Noel's case tho

Sok mate I got ya point I was just offering another um senario

[ManDownUnder]

...but time and place.

... and consequence so it seems.

Because I wasn't talking about someone breaking the law, I was talking about allowing another person to take the wrap for them breaking the law.

Put the comment back in context and have another crack.
