I've been pulled up by a guy who was my 3rd form prefect at college. He caught me selling my mum's smokes by the canteen when I was 13 and then a decade later caught me in Churton Park in Wellington just before the on ramp doing 100 (woops) in a 50km zone. Let me off both times.Originally Posted by Slyer

Have you seen how often you're on KB?
No, we'll just have more runners, more cops assaulted and/or shot at, and more convicted criminals. None of which does us a pinch of good.
Jam and tarts....
I have found I don't get stopped when I don't break the law....
But, a fake police officer is easy to spot. They will have ass-less chaps and a ribbed baton.

yeah, I think thats true. My uninformed perception is that the po po have "performance targets" which mean that they are less likely to want to give a warning, especially for easy meat like a traffic stop. Plus they can enhance it if the car isnt registered or warranted or unlawfully modified or whatever. The other thing too is that traffic cops probably get sick of taking shit from fuckwits so tend to treat everyone as a fuckwit. And someone being pleasant and co operative to them is just a punter with something to hide. (Maybe).
Remembering back to my last ticket (122 in a 100, oncoming cop who turned around and nailed me... I just sucked it up and paid the money) the cop was a bit of prick till he realised that I wasnt going to be a dick, and all he was going to get out of me was the $80 or $100 or whatever, and in the end we had a nice wee chat.
Ive been riding round for a few days without a speedo because the cable broke (new one here today, yay!)... thats been interesting. OK when there is other traffic but otherwise its "put it in third and that feels about right": no revcounter either so its just about the sound.....

To be fair, each of the cops I've dealt with have been very professional and polite. I do take exception to a cop sitting in the safest ever multi lane temporary 50 zone on the motorway in the evening with no roadworkers around, but other than that I have no complaints as to the attitudes of any of the police I've been pulled over by (this includes alcohol checkpoints etc).

Enjoys doing what he does
Many years ago in the UK my ex wife was being indicated to stop by a plain car with flashing lights in the grill and the driver wearing a fluro vest. Thats all she could see, it was early evening and dark enough to have lights on which restricted her view of the driver behind.
Only that week there had been several reoprts in the national news of drivers posing as police and indicently assaulting women.
She rang me on her cell phone and asked what she should do and I said drive to the police station while I phoned ahead to the station.
The driver twice pulled along side her trying to force her to stop on her way to the station but she carried on (now fukin scared shitless)
I got through to the police station and there were unable to confirm if one of there officers was trying to stop a car. I told them to expect a car there very soon with a very concerned women at the wheel and explained the situation.
She drove into the front car park of the station and was met by the desk sergeant waiting outside. closely followed by the 'real' police officer in the unmarked car who blocked the entry/exit to the car park with his car, leaping out
The officer that followed her was well pissed and ready to through the book at her for not stopping blah blah but is boss wound his neck in for him and was able to point out the concern my ex wife had.
The impression my ex had was that this officer still did not think she should have gone to the police station but just stop as directed despite what was very current in the news but sucked it up because his superior was there. In fact the problem of people inpersonating police became so problomatic the public were being advised to seek hi visibilty public places to pull over or indeed go directly to the police station if in any doubt.
The reason her wanted to stop her in the first place was to caution her for failing to indicate off a roundabout. An offence so serious he felt it neccessary to persue her through a town centre, pulling alongside twice forcefully pointing at her with a jabbing finger movement!!
In summery the officer following her came across as insightless cock who's only concern was getting her to do what 'he' wanted her to do. It took the comments from a senior officer to calm him down although the impression left was he hadn't changed his view.

Unless you've got a backlog of fines and a warrant for your arrest. There was an episode of Road Cops where a guy on a Daytona 675 got pulled over. He had to pay $9k on the spot (friends and family credit cards) or be arrested and have his bike impounded.
He knew to stop though.

Fark, really??
who has $9k in fines (and has a $15k bike???)

Wow, shows what I know, I didn't realise you could be asked to fork it over immediately. I guess he/she had let it get pretty bad in that case though.

Every so often there's an operation where they stop all the boyracer cars and see who owes what in fines and invariably there's a car or two plucked from under the arse of their owner and sold to pay for the outstanding fines.
They do get the change back- if there's any left over after the dust has settled....
