It's soooooo unfair (sniffle)

rastuscat is going to have to get one of those smart phone things, he is missing all the fun whilst he is at work. I am sure he could manage to eat donuts and post too.

A smart phone to go with his SMART device?, he might start feeling a bit dumb with all these smart things round... As long as he keeps away from the smart car he won't be that dumb

Tho mentioning the smart car, makes you wonder if "smart" isn't one of these "trend" words like "ill", "bad", "sick", "dope" to mean the opposite of what they imply?

Everybody knows the average rozzer can't multitask. They have enough trouble just catching a miscreant and writing out a ticket. I should say 'scribble out'...
Ever been 'having a chat' with one and someone goes past at a rate of knots (say)? Notice how when you point it out, the cop says he's dealing with you and he'll catch him another time?

When marketing use a term like smart or good then you know they are trying to cover up the opposite. When a tech company use it you know its just a bunch of initials (Semi-Mobile Accurate Reading Technology for example) and marketing have had a play to try and make it sound good.

Anyhow he should be safe until they come up with a donut munching device that can write tax invoices, sorry tickets.

A question was asked earlier in the thread what is a SMART DEVICE?
It appears not to have been answered.

The acronym SMART stands for - Secure Mobile Access and Reporting Technology

I'm keepin an eye on the papers for the inevitable reports of cops trying to pull over an unlicensed biker, only for them to pull a runner at insane speeds, smash into a car, put themselves in a wheelchair, and owe some innocent party thousands in damage, that of course insurance doesnt cover.

None of us like the rego increases, and most of us wont agree on the reasons behind it, but the only chance bikers have in making a change is being a united front. Half our number not registering their bikes and pulling runners is only going to make us all look bad.

You dont like the law? I hear Australia is lovely this time of year.

Ha, wota joke. There's only three intellegent people here. Two are at work and I've just come back from a meeting. The rest have proved beyond a shadow of doubt that they're brain dead and incapable of seeing, or having any logic or common sense. The only idea those fuckwits will 'get' is that civil disobedience, and blaming everybody else for their problems is the answer.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Gotta catch a plane home shortly, and then going fishing for the weekend, so see ya next week.

How do you spell intelligent, dickhead, stay in Wellington increase the IQ of both Islands.

Just reading the thread, it's bouncing about in fifty directions, but mentions the ACC thing at times.

Quite a few assumptions have been made about me and my work. Here's a wee insight.

I stopped my first vehicle of the day, he ran a stop sign after I sat there waiting for someone to run a stop sign. He turned out to be a suspended driver, after he had given me his fully licenced mates name and address. Charges laid, car impounded.

I was cheesed off, as the paperwork involved in that was tedious, as ever.

Next job (just finished it), I heard Comms calling for someone to attend a car being pinched from a suburb a couple over from where I was. Being on a Popo bike, I got there fairly quickly. I have now spent 3 hours dealing with a smarmy young offender, haven't recovered the car yet, but have done a video interview and taken a DNA sample. The paperwork from the first job is looking way more attractive, as I now have to fell a tree to sort the stolen car mess out.

I love my job for the variety, so despite what some think, I'm not on a power rush, I don't get a hit from exerting my authority, I don't give a toss about the fines from the tickets I can write. Not a jot.

Hi ho, have at that then.

Hey cut that out Rastuscat, according to the KB experts who have heard it from a mate who has a cousin who knew a cop, traffic never arrest people or deal with real criminals.

I know what you're trying to do, you're trying to tell us you actually catch people who should not be driving or riding and criminals...

Like that will go down well on here...

Wow, that really is a great work story.

Was the point of it to try and get us, to identify that you have bad days too?

I don't know you, and have never met you, but the attitude you display on here leads me to believe you are one of the brainwashed idiot masses, the police college spits out annually.

I'd buy him a beer. I'd buy anyone who does that job (or is a paramedic or firefighter) a beer. Dealing with fucking lowlives, day in day out: not my idea of a good time.
