Kia Ora Officer. White is the new Black..

Heard the head copper in the area on morning radio today...saying he makes no apology. Does not see the sense in trying to get money from fines from people who have no dough. OK..why does it need to be race-based? Anyone who is broke should be eligible.
Also - if we say this is racist (I do)...we also need to consider it as "placist",,,given only this South Auckland area is receiving this treatment. Are the Maori or others in Invercargill , Gore (OK forget that) or Wairoa not equal citizens?

If stopped I am now Maori.

What's the bet if they don't have a drivers licence their car wont be registered or have a warrant or be insured - are all those things only for Pakeha's too?

If that's what the cops are doing then hell, I certainly do not support that at all ... the law is the law ... and one law for all ...

Yes - why does it need to be ethnicity-based??? Driving has bugger all to do with ethnicity ... good or bad ...

Yes, exactly - apply it across the board.

Yes - all that too .. why apply it in Souf Dorkland only ??? There are people with bugger all money spread across the country ..

So we should, so we can have it translated to Te Reo and have specific Kaumatua (a Maori Elder) to assist in dialect.

Of course it's racism. And of course the police spokesman stumbles trying to justify it. Then he further beclowns himself by claiming he doesn't see why people who don't have enough money to pay the fines should be punished, thereby exhibiting the classic bigotry of lesser expectations of a specific ethnic group. This is nonsense on discrimination stilts, and he is an idiot on mental crutches (assuming he believes what he's saying).

Its a trap to raise fines revenue and heres why.
Just like when Contact emails your power bill way before its due its easy to forget to pay and nearly lose prompt payment discount.
Two months is the perfect trap for the procrastinators out there no matter what race, and chances are they are procrastinators if not got round to getting a license.

Remember the twats in Wellington said if you feel maori you are maori and whose going to look up someones family tree to contest it????
Can you imagine the phonecall.

Hi tribal elder its Johnno from northcomms here, we have a Rupert McBloomfield who says he's Ngati Porou. Can you call a meeting at the Marea and see who knows his whanau????

Soooooo what controversial report is coming out that they want a distraction for????

It's Just like everything else that broke people get for free that "rich cunts" have to pay for.
Why stop at traffic fines?
What's the criteria for such favourable treatment, a Maori sounding middle name, or are they going to introduce a special racist ID card.
