Namely this article in the Dom-Post http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4349...nsible-drivers.
Would a police officer really stop on his way to an accident to chase a speeding bunch of bikers?
Ok I've got no problem with chasing per se, but surely an accident would take precedence.
Strange priorities.

No surprise there. The ticket in the hand is better than the non ticket in the lake.

And thus again we have the speed scam taking them away from their real job!

That does seem crazy. What if the person in the accident had life threatening injuries and needed immediate assistance? Does the LEO make the choice? And do they radio dispatch to tell them they're no longer going to the accident scene but going to chase some people speeding?

I guess it would depend on the nature of the first crash. When I read that article it sounded as if he was told to ignore the crash and carry on after the bikers. If there were no injuries at the original crash or requiring urgent attention it would make sense for him to stop the speeding bikers first.Originally Posted by Pwalo

The first crash has already happened and its too late to anything about it, but by chasing the bikes he may be able to cause another one. This time he'd be right there to help out.

Sounds about right... Ignore the cars that have crashed to chase the bikes that will crash... Obviously they will, speed kills doesn't it?

Yeah I thought that too, but I would have thought that would have been empasised if that was the case.

Wot he said! Undoubtably he would have known what he was going to and whether he could make "the detour" to catch the bikes.
But don't let us spoil your fun guys!

A long time ago I got stopped on the Mt Wellington hwy. The cop requested my license, pocketed it and told me to follow him to an accident he was on his way to a few k's down the road. After he was done with the not real serious crash, he gave my my speeding ticket.

That must have been an interesting day for you..?

Probably would have worked out cheaper if you turned off somewhere, rode to nearest AA and had replacement licence issued for $48 or what ever it cost back then...thats what i would have done.
"channellling the Pleideans"
that is appalling.
presumably you were young and intimidated, and did what he said instead of laughing out loud and leaving, having given the mandatory details and not being placed under arrest: he in fact kidnapped you.

Unreal. You should have told him to go fuck himself(politely).

This just proves where the priorities are at.
