Police getting tougher on speed tolerance

[Scuba_Steve]

So you are saying that a copper in each house in the country is the answer to lower crime?

Na but working to make the police gang respected, ceasing their criminal activities, and having them on the "peoples" side as they're supposed to be rather than running Govt oppression would go a long way

Sounds like there is a really BIG lack of personal responsibility going on out there. It is all the coppers fault. Ban humans. Stupid fucking creatures they are.

Beam me up scotty..........

I wonder what proportion of those were speed camera tickets. Most, I suspect. Not too many of the troops really bought into it, but that'll change over time.

The officer patrolling a stretch of road will actually slow drivers/riders down to within the speed limit irrespective of whether a ticket or warning was given. A camera does nothing but collect revenue.

Buddy, your human too or do you see youself as a higher being ffs
Its that sort of attitude thats got you in the position you're in now, when are you going to wake up and see whats happening in front of your own eyes

Chur Skoober.

Yes, the revenue flows like that.

It means that the ones issuing the tickets don't get the dosh, and don't actually give a toss about it. That's why we get cheesed about the constant badgering on revenue collecting.

I'm sure someone in Treasury is happy to see the fines roll in, but it means zip to us.

Interesting, but I actually give a shit. Any tickets I write are because I believe they help to change behaviours that contribute to crashes, or make worse the crashes that happen.

Just sayin.

They not all like you brother.
I got a ticket on a deserted road in outback Mid Canterbury. Ticket was for 96 ks with a bike trailer on.
This was at 6.30am in the morning with not one other car on the road. Actually there was one, the cop car!
Where the hell is the justification with that one???

At least I KNOW I'm a fuckwit, and do not pretend otherwise. The position I am in at the moment is very good thank you.
You lot could do with a smack around the head with a soggy fish.

A faulty reading on your speedometer(s) is NO defense in a court of law.

Wrong, used it myself.

Got my only speeding ticket in '87.

Unlikely to get another one.

How hard is it , eh?

A lot easier when you're a corrupt copper I assume?

So, if I smoke a little weed, it's not really a crime, and I am not breaking the law?

I dunno...go and find one and ask them yourself.

Dont drink or smoke dope when I drive and I can see the difference between the 2 options. Can you? Im fully aware when I drive so im not going to drive off the road due to any impairment. Little different I would have thought. To me its not about whats legal in most cases, but what is practical. An example. We will allow our truck drivers to venture over the 90k speed limit. By a mere 3-4 ks. Why? Cause most road users get pissed if they plod along and hold them all up, which then creates a safety issue. Horses for coarses. This is all with the blessing of said police force.

Never said anything about driving when impaired. The question was about only breaking the law a little bit.

Arguing semantics to be fair. I can tell the difference eay enough. Point- I can have a drink and drive agreed. But I will become unsafe if I have say 3. If I go 5 ks over speed limit I will be fine concidering posted limit is 100 and im doing 95 with trailer. If I was to go 120 then I naturally become unsafe. Make sense?? Untill you become 100% lawfull, I dont see how you can even argue this point

Im pretty sure you wont get thrown in jail if you smoke a little weed at home. Its called being lenient. Doesnt always happen out on the road.

Speed limit for towing trailer is? You broke the law, in your mind it was ok to do so, but you still broke the law. Same with me smoking a little weed(again, not talking about impaired driving here) I feel fine with smoking some weed, but I'm still breaking the law.

That's a completely inappropriate response ... Scummie may be a cop but that doesn't mean he's corrupt !!!
