Man, 16 pages of waffle. You're enjoying it though aye Scummie?

Oh yeah, you bet!

Shitty cold weather, black ice everywhere, waiting for car/motorbike parts to arrive...a man gets bored at times..

The funny thing is this thread based on the IPCA slamming Police conduct has now revolved all the way to the usual clueless whiners complaining about the same authority whitewashing everything.

.............Another copper!.

Only another 43 to discover in KB and 'out' SPB....

I wouldn't go that far but I'd certainly be keeping a close on my 'enemies'. Having them close makes my skin crawl.

Would you describe the police as one of your enemies? If so, why?

As I said, it is not necessarily applicable to this situation. I wouldn't consider the police an enemy as such, more of a potential threat to my personal freedom. And to be specific, I'm refering to highway patrol, as they have the power to rob me off several hundred dollars of hard earned honest income for things as minor as not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign or for breaking the open road speed limit by as little as 10kph. Those are the kind of people I like to keep a close eye on, rather than try to ignore them.

Muzzled by their masters no doubt

Muzzled by their masters no doubt

I'd guess they muzzle themselves; wouldn't want the truth getting out about their own actions now would they?

There's always a pattern on kb when police behaviour is brought into question. Some kb coppers go to ground and say little or nothing while others bite your leg off like a rabid terrier. The cops try to defend themselves with comments like "you wouldn't/couldn't do my job" and "I have to deal the scum of the earth every day" etc etc ad infinitum. However, they choose their job, nobody forces them into it so...if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Putting that blue uniform on makes you a target and it could be said that wearing a black leather jacket and riding a Harley does the same thing, only in reverse.

The cops stick together and have their own code of silence, just as other social groups do (honour amongst thieves etc.). However, when the cops screw up they have immense backing (especially financial) to cover it up and/or discredit those who might criticize them or attempt to face up to them and exercise their rights. Generally speaking Joe Average doesn't have that luxury. Legal Aid lawyers tend not to be the best, the best are expensive and even if you win the chances of getting your money back are slim. The cops know this and play on the fact that many people will simply 'roll over' because the fight is too immense for them.

When someone feels hard done by thanks to an officious cop then kb is one place to vent and compare notes with others who have been treated similarly; go hard I say. If kb cops don't like what they see/read they can always sign out.

Yeah well if fitting new tyres and fork-seals and a belt counts as 'breaking down' I guess they do.....

.........Equally sick are the coppers that take pleasure in the misfortune of others and/or believe absolutely nothing a civilian has to say.
Scumdog falls into that category.......

Fork seals ... pulling wheelies again eh Scummy?

No law allows arrest on sight without a warrant.

Ya what? Most of my lockups have been without a warrant....

23 years of gettin it wrong. Bugger!

Extent is not qualified?

Original comment was based on patrick's [a copper!] assertion that he knows quite a few coppers that have been busted for drink/driving. Additionally my wife works with the police-I know what the fuckers get up to allright!

My assertion was "I know of quite a few" with emphasis on the "few."

Maybe 12 or so in 23 years. There will be more. I don't know of all of them.

They were the stupid ones. The not so stupid made other arrangements.

To say they get away with it is ....
