Indeed. When you get rid of the emotion and look at the situation in a sober, impartial way, you'll be inclined to come up with something very similar to that post. IMHO the reason there's no charges for the officer yet is that the Police absolutely have to get their facts 100% correct or they'll be publicly crucified, no matter what the result. As we hold them to a higher standard than the rest of the public, it's right that we take the time to find out ALL the information.

Lets start a thread about KFC killing bikers.

FYI the rest of public does this on a daily basis. So if cops only stuff up once a year something tells me that stats are in their favor.

So Bridgeman & the other clown were on their way to a domestic now?

Wow!

Now THERE'S a quantum leap of logic!

I trust we will all be allowed to sight the documentation supporting Officer Uey's contention that the bad-guy was doing 154Kph. His Hawke must have been locked at that speed otherwise he could not give the perp a ticket. And thus an enquiry via the OIA should reveal the truth. Perhaps Ixion might like to pursue that course.

What would be the case if...."Well bugger my gumboots! Officer H reset the Hawke at the scene on account of he decided he may as well since the cop car was facing in the right direction to catch yet another perp." Or..."The impact of the bike tore the heart out of the Hawke."

Will these be the excuses for failing to provide the official reading Officer Uey is relying upon?

It seems to me that Officer Uey could, maybe, only just, cite public safety for his bizarre actions if, in fact the perp was doing said speed.

One has to admit that Officer Uey's position would be untenable if it transpires he was looking to pull down some dude for doing 111Kph, or 120. Whereas the claimed 154 does give Officer Uey's actions a 'very' mild sense of legitimacy.

See where I'm going here with this?

Flogging a dead horse mate. We'll simply have to wait and see now.

They are not required to lock the speed at all. They merely have to observe it. But this has been said many times before.

[TOTO]

I think its gonna be exactly like when they shot that guy on the motorway.

Hope I'm wrong.

No.......

What difference does it make how fast the oncoming vehicle was going? The fact is the officer commenced a three point turn to give chase, and a motorcyclist collided with the Police vehicle, and died.

True! Oh so very true!

So true. The reason for the turn has nothing to do with this.

Just reading the news.. saw this "Dozens of his motorcycle-riding friends, many not wearing helmets despite two police cars being present, led his funeral procession to Waerenga Cemetery." If it's true, why? what's the significance of not wearing a helmet in a funeral procession? Saw it a few months back on the motorway with the procession for the Waiuku biker that was killed. Can anyone explain why? or if there is a legal exemption to going lidless... not that I ever would mind, fucken crazy!
