Busted? Help!

[cowboyz]

dont you mean 130ish? it was the other bike doing 140ish

if I had murdered the officer I would still have my licence.

this is a bad train of thought.

Especially with all the riding you get in jail...

Sorry but you were doing 140ish...overtook a mufti cop...how can you say he was being unreasonable?

I would find out whether you you are likely to get done for any other offences. Maybe talk to the Police Prosecution Service and see what they can tell you. They can be helpful...

Don't get me wrong as you have my sympathy having lost my licence in 2006 but less stress is better and then if you loose you may loose your licence for longer, all extra hassle...

alleged speed of 142 does not mean I was doing 140ish, no offence intended grahameeboy but I have not said I was doing 140ish, or even said I was speeding.

If you had murdered the officer you'd be the subject of a massive manhunt, living in fear, not knowing when you'd get a knock on the door that'd be the beginning of a life sentence in prison. You'd have killed some kid's dad, and some woman's husband, and not many people can live with having murdered someone over a traffic offence.

Also, that was a stupid thing to post.

Mmmm. good call

No offence taken and I know, however, circumstancial evidence, 2 bikers overtaking a car...doesn't leave much to the imagination...

I guess I just take the easy route, pay fine...deal with rest...

Trubs is this can get complicated....maybe try for a plea bargain for giving states evidence against the other guy...

this has always been my approach in the past, however this time I will make sure that we are at fault, and the job has been done correctly if we are.
they cannot fine us more or take our licences longer because we decided to be sure.

[cowboyz]

sounds dodgey enough to me to give it a crack. Word to the wise though - I have never got off anything!

ps. Steam take a pill. He was obviously taking the piss

Well all the best anyway mate...doing what you believe is right is just as important too

[hospitalfood]

thanks Grahameeboy

[Grahameeboy]

thanks Grahameeboy

Not wishing the worst, however, I can help you if you end up needing a limited licence...not a Lawyer but did my own in 2006.

[Gaz]

It's a separate issue however than taking someone's license at the roadside. Punishment before conviction is just simply against the principle of innocnet until proven guilty.[/QUOTE]

First-up, I think Tc's are a waste of oxygen. But! This cop has probably scraped up a few bikers who may or may not have been speeding. What HE saw was a couple of larikins RACING and figured you for his next cleaning job. I'm picking that he doesn't want to phone your mum next time you are in his neighbourhood . I'm not sure if you lost your licence for good, or for 28 days. If it's 28 days, pay the price. if its for good - Pay a lawyer.

If you are like the rest of us mortals, You've got away with alot more than what you'll pay for.

Dont worry about it Adam.

You are only in for a 28day ban unless he added a dangerous/reckless/careless charge - then its 6 months.

You are very lucky.

Last time I got a 28daya for doing the same offence (think i got written down as 156kph) I got a $780 fine.

It could be far worse, just look at skidmark. Or my signature for that matter...
