If i was the servo manager i would have gone out and told the cop to fuck right off. Badgering and driving away customers...

[Berries]

I had the impression they were not allowed to prosecute for traffic offenses on private property unless the person they were after was being chased onto the property.

Excellent. Next time someone takes my parking spot at New World I will wait until they get out of their car and then run them over.

I was filling up the car recently when my Dentist pulled up to the adjacent pump and , while his Range Rover was being replenished( glug glug ) saw me, said hi and asked me to open my mouth so he could check the recent work he'd done replacing some broken teeth. In the middle of the forecourt of the Mobil station.

I met my proctologist on the forecourt at BP last week.






We are in court on Tuesday.

I personally think cops should sit at the end of drive thu's and see what the end up with. Would be a good laugh.

I had to walk through one of them last Friday night, well walk back to be honest, I didn't pay at the first window....

Nope. Due to the successive erosion of human rights in NZ they can knock on your front door and ask to look at your vehicle. Thank goodness NZ cops aren't as small-minded as Australian and US cops. You can also be detained indefinitely for refusing to go through the testing process at a drunk driving check. Again, the only thing protecting you from a massive abuse of privilege is the average Kiwi cop's attitude to his job.

I read that they were able to do this in the paper a few months back so the next step will be them patrolling supermarket car parks etc. I had the impression they were not allowed to prosecute for traffic offenses on private property unless the person they were after was being chased onto the property.

They will be fitting NPR cameras to all petrol stations so they dont even have to bother having a cop there.

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

Riding a bike on hold rego could get a little expensive.

Was riding across town on the one-way system a few weeks ago and became aware that there was a car keeping pace with me to my left. I glanced across to see what he was up to, and he was trying to read my rego label. There isn't much to read, he must've been a slow reader. The thought occurred that what he was doing is as dangerous as using a cell phone while driving. There ougta be a law against it.

Na bro, your example of a supermarket carpark is considered a public place.

I believe you may be talkin' about chasing someone in "fresh pursuit" through private properties. Yes you may but there are rules for that too.

There was always the common law right to enter a property (not to do what you like however) but S&S 2012 has superseded that (but Police still can't do what they like once on the property).

[jahrasti]

Im not at all against them but holly molly-one pulled into the servo for gas today and decided to conduct legality checks on the forecourt,hardly a place to be nosey surely?.........lady in question didn't appear 'scum' although her reg was expired,whats yr opinion? personally I thought he was acting desperate considering we have an obvious element of losers around here who deserve and req their attention

Could you please define what you mean by losers for me? Is that a low socioeconomic person, or what constitutes a loser?

Sooo did the lady is question get a ticket, for all you know she might not have even known it was expired and was grateful for the reminder. I could have been a fleet vehicle and she didn't even handle the registration.

Contrary to popular belief, Police may eat alot of donuts but they don't all issue hundreds of traffic tickets.

Although today (18/05/2014) I do see that the popo bosses seem to drink alot of free coffee on the card, while Constable Joe Bloggs lost his half price BP coffee.

They have access to the cctv pictures of already installed cameras ... in most gas stations.

On the grounds of "looking for suspects" ... if they really need an excuse.

In areas "Where the Public have access" ... they can Patrol and ticket to their hearts content.

Dole "Paydays" used to be their favorite days to patrol (on foot) supermarket car parks ... (and pub car parks)

I had the impression they were not allowed to prosecute for traffic offenses on private property unless the person they were after was being chased onto the property.

On closed (ie: Locked gate) private roads ... and signed as such ... no. If public have access (even through closed but not locked gates) ... YES.

If it involves "whilst in pursuit" of an offender ... yes.

Just doing his job - collecting tax and alienating the public
