Police conducting on the spot vehicle inspections

...FOR SCRATCHES?!?

That's about how effective they are.

There was a 10/7 episode when they used them some big fuck off poly fulla and he just laugh at the cps and walked back inside.

the old 24/7 night sticks are gone. Unwieldly for lame ass jews.
Now they have collapsable steel batons.
Good behind the knees.

No they aren't. They were called PR24's as in 24 inches. Now they are just called side handle batons.

One of the best piece's of kit in the arsenal. People drop like a sack of shit.

Really? I believe that you would put them down. The general consensus is that people with strong wrists are proficient

[Akzle]

24 long, and guess how long the "side handle" is?
(hint, starts with s and rhymes with seven)

yes they can be used effectively, kidney shots particularly.
But i qualified that with a statement about the capacity of the user, innit.

Better luck next time jew.

Funny how those that couldn't/won't do the job are the mouthiest at proclaiming how well THEY would do it....and shit.

So let's get this right. There are riders here bitching about the police running checkpoints for checking safety of vehicles and drivers, then saying in the same post that they were actually on an illegal bike or over the limit, yet pleading how hard done they are.

To those riders: You knowingly break the law and run the risk, so here is a reality check - have you considered that it is you that the police are trying to catch at the checkpoints, while law abiding road users have to queue. Fuck, get a grip, instead of bitching like a spoilt kid.

Here's a radical thought - if they catch a single knob who has drunk too much or using an unsafe vehicle then that is one less idiot on the road that we all have to worry about. Yeah, the checkpoints may hold us up for a bit, but shit, so do traffic lights and rush hour traffic (well, unless you are on a bike and lane splitting, but that is best left to another thread).

I know. Too fuckin' lazy to even lock the door on the way out.

Mushu I wonder if your keyboard warrior attidude was displayed to the cop that pulled you over. My money's that you were as mouse.

Not to lazy, wanted the door open for a reason and should've been gone for only 10 min which I am confident my dog would slow a thief down atleast that long.

You're partially right, I usually assume a cop will find some thing to fine me for if given reason to look so I am very polite so as not to upset them. If they are already looking for a reason I will argue the point if I think they are being unreasonable.

How about those who cannot afford to maintain the vehicle they have, instead of buying a shitbox Soobarooo GT/WRX/ Mitsi Evo mk1, or toyota starlet with shitty big bore exhaust, knackered smoking engines, then put $3000 blinged low profile chrome wheels, backyard 'lowering kits', 10,000 watt stereo's with 20 X 15inch sub-woofers, matt black spraycan paint jobs, etc etc.. actually buying a car they CAN afford to run?
well fuck me, there's sensible for you......
Most people I know earning a wage good enough to actually buy 'recent' expensive cars, CAN afford to run them. So yes, lets make the fines relative, you want to play with the 'big boys' and buy a 20yr old+ knackered shitbox 'power car', then you should pay fines commensurate to the lack of maintenance you haven't invested!!!

It's funny you are complaining about the fines in one paragraph, then agree with 'roadside' checks in the next...

My only 'concern' if any, would be I know in the UK, Traffic Police are all specially trained, I wonder if our resident 'Officers' can confirm they also get mechanical knowledge training as part of the procedure?

Yea, sure come down on the boy racers, that is fine but they aren't going to pay the fine anyway and they aren't all of the low income earners. What about students, parents, laborers, fast food workers there are plenty of low paid people out there and if they deserve to loose half their wage because of a fine that is a major inconvenience possibly one they deserve, shouldn't a high income earner suffer the same inconvenience for the same offense. I wasn't talking about fines related to maintenance, just fines in general, particularly for dangerous driving offenses (running red lights and things like that).

Not really complaining about fines anyway just pointing out that the value of money (and hence it's ability to inconvenience and usefulness as a punishment) can be very different for different people.

And yes I do like the idea of roadside safety checks. My vehicles are not without their problems and may not always even be registered or legal (such as my highly dangerous exhaust) and I will (albeit begrudgingly) pay any fines given to me for such offenses but I can guarantee if I am driving/riding that vehicle on the road that the brakes, tires and suspension are always in good order.

I'm not entirely against checkpoints, just stated that I will try to avoid them whenever I can get away with it.

Yes my bike is illegal, atleast technically but since my gripe in that particular case was about being lectured about how it sounded like I was speeding before he saw me and then a lengthy "discussion" on whether a DR650 is on the LAMS list, why should his ignorance allow him to hold me there for an unreasonable amount of time (if I can't plead ignorant if I get pulled up on an illegal bike) the fact the exhaust excludes it from the list and he didn't notice it further speaks to his ignorance (and in no way significantly affects the performance of my bike) what would you expect me to do? Tell him about the exhaust and beg him to give me a fine and maybe some points for my license.
