Nearly busted for flashing

[McDuck]

Involve the Media??? - what are you some 45 yo menopausal, oxygen starved, P addicted, ass faced fuckwit?

If your not - thats exactly how you are coming across.

Pull your head in, go fuck some goats or whatever it is you friends in the media report on down there.

Pick a battle that is at least worth having.

Someone called me a name on the interweb -- -waaa waaa waaa - HTFU!

Bet he comes from ruitoki

Back at intermediate school (yeah, I've got a good memory) we had a cop come and talk to us. These were the days where police and traffic were separated. He was traffic.
Two things I remember from his talk.
1. He commented he flashed his lights when off-duty even if there was no cop nearby - he reckoned if it slowed someone and saved their life, it was worth it. I think he did comment (even back then) it was illegal, but understood - this is 30+ years ago.
2. COP wasn't insulting - he read it as "car on patrol".

[Coldrider]

So it is illegal for a motorist to remind a fellow motorist of his speed then.

Are you for real??

yup. Final request - badge number please, and the "name calling by police officer" leaves the Internet right now, or else it goes international. Your call.

Whatever, bring on the 'media' if you feel it will help (help what???), I don't give a fat rats arse sunshine.....

nup you don't do you - spoken like a true officer o' the law. NEVER has any police officer actually done anything to assist me when I was victimised, yet they trip me on any administrative triviality at every opportunity, while simultaneously accusing me of wronging half of collective society.

You are beaten this time, how does it feel ?

DB, your pushing shit uphill here. There's no way any media or PCA or anybody is going to give a fuckeroo about a glib comment by a cop on a internet biker forum.

And I doubt very much that Scummy is crying into his Emmerson Oatmeal stout over it either.

I can see it now - (picture the head of Reuters in a management team meeting)

"Look guys - we need some real news:

The war in Iraq - old news,
Prince Harry in Afghanistan - well hes home now,
The democratic nominations in the US - not news worthy,

Hang on HOLD THE PRESS - some coppa in NZ apparently made a slightly glib statement on the Internet. Lets make this international people!!!!!

This is big!!!!! This is HUGE!!!!!!"

Actually - This is STUPID!!!!

oh - and MODS - isnt there some rule about threatening people on here?? (not that ScumDog is worried Im sure)

[Mikkel]

Yes, it is stupid.

He is however not threatening anyone with anything illegal as I see it. So I doubt he's in violation of the forum rules.

Anyway, I'll shut up and take my seat...

[Jantar]

.....oh - and MODS - isnt there some rule about threatening people on here?? (not that ScumDog is worried Im sure)

Yes there is, but in this case DB is sort of pointing a loaded gun at his own head and threatening to pull the trigger. I'm not sure that we can infract him for that.

Actually James, this ain't a glib comment, it's more like a broken fucking record.

James??? Last time I was called James I was about to get spanked.

[Fatjim]

No thanks mate, but good on you to offer.

[MSTRS:Me]

pigs have no right
Sharpen up, pigs.

Actually, I see a bit of gratuitous name-calling right here

...relax, and quit picking fights they can't win.

hmmmm

Your ability to actually assist normal law-abiding citizens is fucking piss-poor.

There is some truth in this at times...http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...postcount=2236

[MSTRS:Me]

But will anyone answer the question as to what law is broken by flashing headlights??

[Dave_G]

Wow!
Those carefully considered comments have really influenced how I work from now on...I'll bear them in mind while working tonight

Problem is that your attitude is exactly why so many people hold the police in such contempt these days. The post that started this thread illustrates to me that policing is beyond most of the police force these days. Sitting on your collective asses in a car with a radar is the easy way out, get out of it from time to time and police a few other road laws, see how that goes. When was the last time anyone saw the police seriously police intersection laws? Never is when, because that would involve actually doing something, not just reading the paper and waiting for the radar to do the job for you. If the great "get the speeder" strategy was actually working it might hekp your case, but it aint, the stats are getting worse not better while you lot sit on your asses with a speed gun. Frankly, you don't deserve any respect from the community because you aren't earning it, until you do I'll continue to do everything I can to obstruct you.
