It's soooooo unfair (sniffle)

[NONONO]

My bet is that they will install micro devices into bikes/cars that carry registration details etc.. and as soon as said rego runs out, then it starts pinging away so that when cops pass you or follow you it will send a notice to their computer so that they can pull you over.

Like that little chip they want to put into your hands.

It's all a freakin conspiracy man...

Too late mate.
Vehicle Recognition Software has been employed for years.
The police can now capture your plate, see if the registered owner has a license, check infringements, warrants etc, see if the bike has a WOF, is stolen, or dodgy in terms of customization, complies with all current adjustment requirements.
In other places , where insurance is a requirement, this can be checked too. So no longer just being gunned for speed.
All good though eh?

Well, as a law abiding citizen I don't have any issue with the Police checking anything at any time. Why should I subsidise all the free-loaders that wanna buck the system?

+1 from me on that one. Got nothing to hide so why should I fear, and i'm a little sick of paying for fucking IDIOTS that seem to think its their God Given Right to fuck it up for everyone else.

BTW, had a very good lunch meeting today with a couple of Ministers, and not the religeous kind. Changes are on the way sooner than you all think.

[Brian407]

seriously? Targeting a minority... great thing to advertise to build public confidence in the force.

Have you not read the Safer Journeys document. Thats exactly what's happening, and will happen with greater voracity this year, and for good bloody reason. I for one, welcome it. Get used to it.

I agree and support what you are saying, but its not us (those legally on the road) its the retards and smart arses that think its ok not to pay their way. 'They tend to find anything to get out of paying. If a device or tool is use for anything other than its purpose that's their ticket (excuse the pun) out..

Personally I'm in favour of chipping vehicles automating the process, allowing Police to be more visible rather than listening to Bull Shit excuses at the side of the road. If you can't afford to drive/ ride, maintain your vehicle and keep compliant (like it or not) then take a bus.

Interesting.

One of my troops uses his new SMART device to run checks on every motorbike that goes past when he's at a checkpoint.

More than half of them show as having no WoF, no registration, registration on hold, or the rider having no or the incorrect licence.

There was me thinking all bike riders were law abiding citizens who we cops picked on totally unfairly. Seems it's fair after all.

Troll.

piss off ya whingers , get a rego get a licence get a wof . stop ya bleating ........ guy at bike shop telling me recently how many bikes they repair with no rego or wof ......

you guys will probably be the 1st to get fucked over by these systems as you happily accept another inch of the Govt stick, bend over boys.

FWIW I used to think like that too... I wised up

Struggling to understand your position.............can you be clearer?

Funny. Stopped a bloke the other day coz he was on a shitty old bike wearing a helmet, shorts and a t-shirt. Voila, no reg, no WoF and no licence.

I have no fear at all that Pope Brian Tamaki is going to do anything about motorbikes.

Targeted another minority today too. I found a guy who actually stopped at a stop sign, even when there as nothing coming. I dragged him from his car, kissed his feet and promised my first born.

Damn I love people who can understand road signs, and who actually comply.

I do believe I may possibly be the only person in Hamiltron that does this. If I'm going to be harassed, I might just stop (or is that not stop?)

yes and this is the crux of the problem....some number arent payin rego as a protest about the escalating acc costs and the rather nefarious way it was introduced,whilst some others see this as a cop out and an excuse not to pay and a sure fire way to get further increases or more vigilance on rego .The bikoi was a huge success in my view and i am sure it caused a stir in the ivory towers.
However we still cant see a way forward together,and its only together we will have any traction

Oh well, we choose our own way. Mine works for me

[Kickaha]

Erm.......wotz a PD?

Haven't you donut munchers heard of periodic detention?

Chortle. Used to sit outside a PD centre waiting for the inevitable disqualified drivers to roll up on Saturday mornings. Ah, them were (and are) the days.

I thought you might have been raising some new, zany, 21st century thing, like Painful Dismemberment.

Ah well, back to the donuts.
