Quota? What quota?

If hating cops is part of your biker identity then nothing will persuade your thinking any other way. c'est la vie

I don't hate cops at all. I just don't believe that they are always above criticism, and when they are occasionally criticised, even in constructive ways, members of the force leap to their defence, and label everybody cop haters and hero killers.

No wonder you all wear those heavy vests now if your skin is so thin.

I don't know the answer to the traffic woes, I'm fairly sure that heavily patrolling passing lanes, and the speed change areas outside of town don't do much to help.

I'm no cop and I don't think anyone has all the answers.
All I know is the line has to be drawn somewhere, sometimes its drawn closer to your toes than it should be. But as far as bang for buck goes the authorities will always go for the bulk discount.

Yes, good idea.
The Police also recieve funding for solving all manner of crimes. Perhaps the great unwashed masses would be more accepting of the performance indicator system if only the Police shifted focus to the performance indicator requirements that are currently in place for solving burglaries, rapes, assults and murders?

As a taxpayer and road-user I would expect police to provide a return for the funding they receive for these issues too.

Or is it only traffic Police that are want to skive off parked asleep under a tree all day?

The police do exactly that, however it is never news worthy. Only sensation sells papers and headlines. Rarely do plain simple facts end up in the news.

Well hey, now's you chance to set the record straight. Please feel free to share them here with us. I for one am keen to learn and don't mind in the slightest accepting that I was wrong to assume that it only applied to traffic enforcement.

Coming back from Levin over easter my mother (Who drives like a right Nana) hit a policeman with her wing mirror. I was in the passenger seat and didn't bloody see him. We stopped to see if he was alright and he gave the old lady a right bollocking...

To which I replied "Excuse me officer, but where is your hi-vis vest?"

He was outside of his patrol car at night doing god knows what.

Almost makes ya not want to stop and check...

Well if you believe everything you hear in media then you would say that. Crime stats are publicly available.

Did they say that (that there are only performance indicators for traffic issues) in the media? No I miised that and no I don't believe everything I read in the media. Hence my questions to you and invitation to set the record straight.

You seem a little confused. Crime stats don't quantify individual performance (the purported reason for performance indicators).

From your answer it appears however that the media have got it right all the same.

And I have a large bridge in Aucklad to sell to you too...

Aww so naive. I'm sure they promised you all sorts of things to get you to believe in "performance indicators" scummy and I truely hate to be the one to tell you this but - it's not really yours to sell.

You really must stop blindly lapping up everything your boss says and start thinking for yourself.

You seem to know an awful lot about my job - for somebody that has never done it.

Why thank you, however I do realise that there are some gaps in my knowledge, hence I enquired about the performance indicators for rape, burglaries etc as alluded to by toaster.

Just waiting patiently for a coherent response from the plods now.

Why??.....

[The Stranger:Me]

Why??.....

Why what??

Why?? As in why waste my time because everyone knows toaster is full of shit and clearly the cops only care about quota when it comes to revenue.

Or Why?? As in why waste my time awaiting a coherent response from a copper when clearly they are incapable of coherent conversation.

Or Why?? As in why waste my time trying to acquire knowledge from people who clearly have none to offer.

Yes, why indeed?
