NZ Police - why do they do it?

[Markw336]

i think tickets depend on how happy the cop is at the time if he was in a good mood he prob would have let you by lol and the wof they usualy give you 2 weeks at least

[boomer]

good on yer but only 4 years, come on it was more fun than 4 years worth.....!! so are you a fit mentor to teach me how to avoid the dangers of these kiwi roads, as most know im on my learners and could do with the advice of a seasoned pro!!!

hi mate; im not mentor material.. my IQ has lowered with age

[smoky]

im english myself;

Now that explains a few things

you'd also get nicked for not pulling over into a free left lane, undertaking and doing anything other than concentrating on the road ahead.

strangely over here the laws aren't upheld in order of public safety; idiocy is common place and accepted ( red light runners, no stopping at stop signs, zebra/public crossings)

So you do agree with my point - that's the point I'm making - they seem to have their priorities stuffed up, so why? why do they do it?

Quota, take the easy targets?

Put up what ? you're the one claiming to know it all, go and find out for our self, I'll accept your apology once you realise you're wrong
I'm just saying "you're wrong" - because I know you are
I could try to explain it all to you but you came on all knowing and rubbishing me - so you obviously don't want to know, and wouldn't believe me either
After all I'm a speeding criminal who should just shut up and fuck off - so a couple of you flat earth believers think


Your wrong

actually you're just spouting crap but stating it's law.

htfu.

Bit like Duck shooting,theres so many of em.

actually you're just spouting crap but stating it's law.

So you know better?
question; do you think that the police could give you some sort of concession for breaking the law if there wasn't some legislation approved by Cabinet and the Minister, that set out the guidelines around it.
Don't you think that in order of fairness and and even handed discretion that the government (our nanny state) would want to regulate it
And if there wasn't any legislation around the the Compliance Scheme it would create a whole mess of common law being applied

Think about it

I was trying not to discuss this subject because it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread
I am not wanting to get off the fine for speeding, as for the WOF - fair enough, I got one straight away and have been told it will be waived

And for the person who thinks no one books in a WOF - what planet are you from? I book in WOF all the time, get a service done at the same time.

Dont worry, KARMA will sort it out

It's a learning process, with time they'll realise just as the UK and other countries have, that the amount of revenue earned is not directly linked to the number of lives saved or public safety. However as NZ is learning, this revenue exercise is a good way to show performance; it also helps fund themselves ( they need to do this in order to grow.. they show some figures over a few years, fund it with the ill gotten gains, realise a few years down the line with the aid of data/stats etc from European countries that have tried and tested it nearly a decade ago.. that this isn't the most beneficial way of policing )



So like most things in backwards NZ.. you'll probably see in another 7-10 years more responsible policing and methods to manage the roads !

in the meantime.. put up and play the game.. get caught and post on KB.. expect to have a finger pointed at you and laughed at

Shouldn't that be "you're wrong?"

There ya go Smoky - that's as close as you're gonna get to a concession right there from a (not very skillful) wind up merchant.......

It's bullshit policing and very obviously so

Took him a while
He threw a bit of red rep, abuse and shit around, but got there in the end

I would say more about that particular member but I suspect he may have a photo of a certain moderator in a compromising position with a sheep/chicken/apple pie and we'll end up in PD...again
