Cops that break the law

[vinnieh]

I see you are new here on KB. Welcome - I can see you are going to fit in just dandy.

Haha why do you say that?

[Ixion]

Cos the cop's gona(supposed to) ticket you whether its safe or not.

What annoys me more is when i see a cop go passed a pushie with no helmet. The pushie could waste alot of my tax dollars if they get hit. I wear my helmet, why doesn't he wear his. All i want is the cop to do their job.

Ah, but they don't. Or, most of the time they don't. I've had my share of headlamp flashes and "Don't do it agian " warnings. Probably from cops who press on themselves when safe to do so. Why should I crap on them? I suspect that the real arsehole cops who will ticket you for 1 kph over on an empty back road are probably the ones who are sticklers in their own driving.

Exactament!!

oh how i chortle!

Would that be the "deep resonant chortle" or the "light girlish giggle"???

As for no lights or siren, could be the burglars doing a break just around the corner they are on their way to and they don't want to scare em off with the noise of their pending arrival perhaps?

Where can I get a set of these noisy lights? Hahaha

Not always. Ernies, maybe.

By the way, to whoever said the cops speedo might be out, their speedos are checked regularly and are certified, otherwise their radar detectors would be inaccurate (because the radar detector factors the patrol car's speed into the equation) so the "speedo is out" excuse won't work.

The microwave doesnt rely on any input from the vehicle speedometer - patrol speed is calculated by ground pulse. However, if the speedometer is 'out' and the vehicle is not fitted with microwave there is the issue of the vehicle not being up to WoF standard (green sticker for you!), but only the cop driving would know that.

Dammit!! Thats two posts in a row on this thread you've given balanced and arguably measured insights. Post# 12 is vintage stuff.

I just awaiting your new signature "safe communities together".

Why should I want to complain about a cop speeding? I do it whenever I think I can do so safely, I would be a hypocrite to complain of someone else doing it.

hmmmmmmmm well put. food for thought.

[MVnut]

As far as I'm concerned if cops are in control of the vehicle and don't cause an accident, they can do whatever they damn well like on the road, preferably they can be objective and fair when they see others In most other countries cops won't bust another cop for anything that's not serious, then they come down like a ton of bricks. People that believe whinging is a life skill should get a life.

[Matt_TG]

Hmmmmm, most cops I end up behind do 90km/h. No traffic, straight roads, bloody frustrating to be behind for km after km. Send some of your speeding cops this way please!

[Fatjim]

i got assaulted by a couple of cop's one night, i was in a pissed state and probly being a complete cunt. but that's no reason for a fuckin pig to be doing that shit. got back down to the cell's where the prick's roughed me up a bit, lol. was fuck all really, just a couple of kick's and a bit of a push around. but you'd think they would have better thing's to do than acting like teenage cock sucker's

Why the fuck didn't you kick back you stupid little shit!

Waawaa waawaa, is that the wambulance I hear coming?

Dont worry guys cops are the biggest law breakers, i like being a smart arse sometimes and the other day a cop was in front of me while i was test driving a customers car and i noticed he had a blown break light buld so at a stop street i rolled the window down caught his attention and told him about it in a letting him know voice.All i can say is he didn't like me telling him that and was quiet cheesed off. And i laughed all the way back bout it. ( he was most probally trailing me to pull me up )

Just the other day I was waiting for my daughter in Lakes Primecare waiting room, watching the traffic going by. I saw a cop in a marked stationwagon with a passenger next to him, go up the road, down the road, into the street I was parked on, then he went straight through a stop sign without stopping. Next thing he walks into Lakes Primecare with a young girl in an Intermediate school uniform. So he was on personal business in a work car, breaking the law. What he did wasn't so much dangerous as there was nothing coming but what sort of example is he setting for the young girl that was with him? When I left I went past his car and he didnt even feed the meter. Anyone else would have a $40 parking fine but cops seem to be exempt even when on personal business.

Another time I was stopped for allegedly doing 90 in a 70 zone but the cop was parked on the opposite side of the road, jumped in his car and did the big hero U turn and nearly took out my mate who was following behind me. He didnt even look to see if anything was coming! When I asked to see his radar thingymebob, I saw mud and grass wedged into his front bumper. What a hero! He sure showed me!

I feel better now I got that off my chest.

Yeah that's the kind of shite that I'm talking about. I must say I think that the police are letting too much riff raff into the force now that they are getting desperate.

But anyway, I once saw a mufti car with a mum and about 4 kids in it, driving around haha I was like what the crap? Who pays for the petrol and maintenance on these things? Hopefully not me!

And to the people who say stop moaning: If nobody ever questioned anything that the government did, we wouldn't be living in a very nice country in my opinion

Takes me back when i was living perth australia, there was a serious crash at kings park involving 2 cops in their car, no other cars involved, turns out they were seeing how far they could jump their car over the speed humps.
