Ohhh i see what you did there, you like completely turned it around and tried to make me look bad for shameful actions of policeClever realy... english language realy is an enigma isnt it.
Fashionably late.
Up until the Hornet I had ridden supersport bikes and sport bikes since I started riding and only once have I been pulled up for a "routine check" - it was on my GPX250 back in the hay-day and he checked my licence, moved me on and wished me a good night.
Since then the popo have been moving over for me while I lanesplit to work in the morning, giving me waves if they're on a bike and just generally all-round helpful. All this in Auckland no less.
Just throwing my thoughts and opinions out there, as the original poster has - just for a bit of balance.
Just faidin away!
I think they moved the case down here to get a better quality of juror! (or something like that!) Pffft.

Seems to me that there has been a hell of a hike in cop bashing threads in the past yr !
I blame ACC !~ The increase of millitants on the site who need to find someone to hate is phenominal !
Bring back the harley bashing threads they were much more fun !
You know something ? (well you don't but i is gonna tell ya anyway haha) I'm hitting 50 in a month or so and the body is feeling the years of abuse i have given it ! If i spend a day riding without the right gear on now my joints seize for the next two, if i spend a day with a sledge hammer and pinch bar doing renovations on a run down batch, i suffer for days afterwards, but it won't stop me doing either !
It's my grandsons 2nd birthday today, woohooo a kiddies party, i love 2 yr olds parties, surrounded by happy crappy nappies who havent learnt to hate anything yet, everything is to be tried, touched, opened, closed, tasted etc etc nothing is evil in their world !
I must be one of the lucky older folk around cause life is good, I have never been bashed by a cop, only ever been treated with the same respect i give them or anyone i ever come accross, i hate no-one and firmly believe no-one hates me, i have a choice of bikes to ride, my Mrs likes to both ride or snuggle behind me, i live in an old house with a warm fire, but dont own it. That was my choice several years ago, but situations change and i have now found a piece of land, that will allow me to surround myself in the company of ppl i enjoy having around, sure i'll have to sell some bikes to free up more cash for the deposit but thats the choice i'm making !
I'll still ride and ride with guys and gals who don't hate life, or what life hands them, they laugh about the ticket someone got on yesterdays ride, cry if a rider goes down, but there is still no hatred !
I am so looking forward to moving onto this new place, calf in the paddock, pig in the pen, chooks in the yard, a building for all my friends to gather and talk shit whenever they want, beds gallore for those who want to stay. There will always be some who join us on rides or come for a social night that feel hatred, but they wont be shown any, they will be offered a bed if they have a few too many, a beer if they turn up at the new place unexpectedly (nothings changed there)
Gee i'm ranting !
Just wanted to say i must be gettin old, cause fuck i'm happy !
Oh wait, i've always been happy but aint always been old, is it just me ?
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !

Me too and I,m sure we,re not the only ones....

'Twas a good rant Bill.
Don't forget to bring a towel
I don't blame the cops for wanting to smack people over because of the amount of shit they have to put up with on a daily basis.

It is nice to see someone is happy with the life that they have led and the circumstances that have influenced it. If we agree that life was good why does it need to be changed? When I see the general public expressing the opinion that the increasing restrictions on our freedom to live our lives is a good thing rather than the negative feedback that is evident then those changes might be justifiable, but as the opposite appears to be true then they are clearly not justified.
Forces are at work to change the environment that many have enjoyed throughout their lives. The environment that you have been so satisfied with is being changed for the worse. Things aren't the same as they were. The police are busy changing all that. We are moving ever closer to living in a police state every time a new law or tighter interpretations of existing laws are implemented.
Is it not right that people should exercise their right (and duty to humanity) to prevent increasing restrictions on freedom.
The argument that they are doing it for the greater good (safety of the majority) is not an appropriate argument to restrict peoples freedom, particularly when the agents of that change are running people off the road killing and maiming them (in unacceptable circumstances and frequency) in the name of the greater good (which is supposed to be OUR SAFETY). Fuck them I say. As others have said 'This bullshit is driving many to despise them' and it just ain't going to help their cause when they alienate the community that they are paid to look out for.

Cool. I don't blame rapists and murderers who were subjected to verbal or physical abuse by others when they were younger. Let them all go please, it ain't their fault.

Here is the explaination. Shit like that sells papers end of story. There was no real story there until someone discovered their job.
When a police officer is HELPING people when they are off duty, usually that doesn't get reported, because that doesn't sell papers. So you don't hear about that. People just expect them to do that.
I, for one, am thankful for our thin blue line, I couldn't do their job, it is thankless, terrifying, difficult and not that well paid for what they do.
I expect you will say that that is their choice, they chose that job so the should put up with that. I am just thankful that there are people out there that want to help, rather than just complain. There are people out there that have your back, even when it sounds like you would rather put a knife in theirs.
Maybe you have only had bad experience with police. Maybe you should look in the mirror, it might not be all them.

Makes two of us. Life is what you make of it. Old is Good. Just ask any whiskey drinker.

So, let me just check if I've got this right.
According to the police defenders how it works is, cops deal with criminals. Criminals being nasty people they abuse and bash other people. Since cops have to deal with the criminals, the criminals bash and abuse the cops.
Therefore, the cops are entitled to bash and abuse ordinary law abiding citizens. Because the cops reckon we're all criminals.
Have I got that right?
But,one thing that I'm not clear on, if criminals bash and abuse ordinary people and cops bash and abuse ordinary people, how do we tell the cops from the criminals?.
Oh, of course. The uniform. So what distinguishes cops from criminals is the uniform. Correct ?
