Motorway Patrol (24 July)

[WarlockNZ]

Did you notice that the cop was a blue and yellow ??

Yes, the guys skill could be called into question .. but he was issued a ticket for impeding the flow, what i would like to know is the speed on the ticket.

"If" it was 70K .. then there is a case for any L plater out there who has, or will be, fined for doing over 70k on the motorway.

If it was for 40K ... then yeah ... i would have done the same thing .. he would have been a hazard on the open road, regardless of the number of lanes.. (lets not forget it was easter weekend as well = a metric shit load more traffic)

Considering there were 2 lanes, and he's on a scooter, unless he was weaving wildly between the lanes it'd be pretty hard for him to impede the flow of traffic. I didn't see the whole thing - just caught that end snippet, but judging by his skill level he might well have been doing just that!

i think that you should read the bill of rights act. if i reccomend something really important to read its that! LEARN YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS!! the rights the cops tell you aint enough and they will still try to screw you over. ppl who dont know there rights make the cops job very easy, they will still do you for the same thing even if you were not being a smart ass

That's all very well, but how do you combat a ticket for an exhaust that is "significantly louder than original" which entirely subjective and likely to be heard by JP's who are politically appointed? (the only way I'm aware of that you can become a JP is to be recommended by a Member of Parliament).

Off topic ... But you combat it by getting it tested and seeing if it complies with the Legal DB level

Last time I checked there is no such thing.

[WarlockNZ]

My point is that it's his job to keep the traffic moving at the expense of everything else.

I'm pretty sure there is ... I'm sure there is someone on here that could either confirm or deny that tho.

If a cop decides he doesn't like your 'attitude' (i.e. I know my rights) he can still ticket you and cost you a small fortune in fighting it.

At the expense of the regulations which don't specifically exclude what the scooter rider was doing (at least speed wise)?

You have too much faith in the powers that be...

well the thing is not to give him attitude just say it to him nicely in a polite fassion yeah as a police officer he should respect your rights.
