Like me?

You fit the criteria, please report to the nearest recruitment office. (and take doughnuts)

Look, in general, cops are just people, and so most of them are quite reasonable, but you get a few arseholes too. Unfortunately, according to some of the cops I've spoken to, some of the arseholes like to become traffic police. Even the other police don't like them and their propensity for handing out tickets, and call them 'snakes'.

Agreed.
The ones I know and ones who ride think like that.
Unless you're causing major probs on the road, don't bother with traffic tickets. One never even uses his radar, and one never pulls bikers up!

clearly you have been mis-informed re this comment

suggest you undertake more research. maybe with a cop in the 40 year age group whom has at least 17 years service

or

you could get a job as the Iraq Minister of Mis-information

At risk of posting on topic here...

1- First speeding ticket I ever got was on a GN250 at 7am on sunday morning in Hamilton, 99kph in a 60 zone..... I suspect the cop took the speed down coz I was at full throttle in 5th gear... $400 speeding ticket but still with a licence. He also let me off having no L plate and a rego 2months overdue.

2- Pulled out onto SH1 from a side road in a smallish gap, passed a truck by using the median strip, shot a orange light, speeding, failed to give way. All in about 1km (I was in a hurry alright) turns out this mufti was following me. Got a lecture on riding safe and let off.... that was on a VT250

3- Recently got pulled over on my Gixxa 750 doing 80 in a 50 zone in town, round a corner in the rain..... (yup got good tires) ''any reason for the speed?'' No sorry officer. ''Ok then, take it easy. Not worth it when the roads like this''

4- 3 months ago, going down to Taupo wh a pillion got snapped at 130 down near Atimuri dam. Pulled over had a look at the cops radar and it was reading 132, got a ticket for 112... (cheeper and less points ) Turns out he has a gixxa 750 too ''yeah I know how easy it is to speed on theres things'' was what he said while writing on the ticket. If I was going the speed limit-ish he wouldnt have bothered to pull me over apperently. Not a word about speeding with a pillion though.

Yeah thats me.

...knowledge is power...

Cop I know uses his knowledge of where his snake 'collegues' are, and then goes elsewhere on his crotchrocket. He hasn't passed this info on to me. So far.

Don't forget some of them chick cops, their all good too and DAM some of them are hot!

The uniform adds an extra point or two of hotness.

Yesterday I return to my scoot and a cop car pulls into the spot beside me, I look and the cop and think "mmmm, chick in a uniform". I said hello and had a brief chat before she headed across the road to sort out whatever.

I agree with the concept that cops are just people, some good ones and some arseholes. Naturally you will have more encounters with the arseholes while the good ones don't bother stopping you. But I have chatted with cops several times (when not been pulled over by them) and they have been nice people. Even Scumdog is OK when you aren't being treated to the sight of him in his budgie smugglers outside his tent in the morning.

5 years ago in Nelson. Way beyond reasonably intoxicated I went looking for this Icelandic girl I had met at a party earlier in the evening...

Anyway, long story short I found myself walking along the road leading in to town about 3 kms out at 5 o'clock in the morning. Being a bit drunk and very lazy I decided to try and hitch a ride.

Lo and behold a car pulled over - wicked custom paint job and some fancy shit on the roof... hot blonde in a uniform in the passenger seat.
I was then informed that walking on the road at 5 am might not be the best of plans and what were I doing anyway? To which I answered I was only trying to get a life... and seeing as you've already stopped 'ows about it then? And sure enough they gave a lift back to town. Back to the party and the tequila, never met the pretty Icelandic girl again - for which I probably should be grateful, people from Iceland are nuts! Good bastards!

[bsasuper]

Yeah there just humans trying to live just like the rest of us, except........

1.Some of them think they are god in that uniform or car


2. they are always there when im having fun on my bike


3.I got tackled by one when they mistook me for a crim,black eye and lost skin- not even a sorry mate.

4.no I DO NOT have any good cop storys

5.my neighbour is a cop and yes he hates me.

But hey, live and let live.

[Maki]

You got that right...

[Dave-]

all my cop stories are good cop stories, they're good stories in their own right too.

like i shit you not, the 4 or so times I've had a chat with an officer s/he's been a well mannered, fair and sometimes humerous law enforcer.

maybe it's me?

This happened right before I moved over here two years ago:

Northern California, beautiful roads and not many cars... Me out with two buddies.

We left around 11:30 , it was beautiful day and we were making very good time. We were over the hill past Weaverville cruising along by the river, my friend takes a nice 55mph sweeper at around 100, we follow along nearly in the triple digits.

Just as I finish the turn I see the ever so obvious CHP (California Highway Patrol) sitting along the side of the road behind some trees. He flipped on his lights and we all signaled and pulled in behind him. So he gathers us all up tells us to take off the helmets looks at us and says "ok Ill make this easy, Im only gonna write one ticket for 65 in a 55 who wants the ticket you decide." Well none of us decided to jump on that grenade as myself and another guy are already looking at possibly losing our licenses for a few too many speeding tickets. So he says get out a coin we're doing to decide with a coin toss. Shit, I always lose at these. My two friends go against each other, the loser and I then go and I finally win a coin toss.

So now he asks for my friends "pilots license" which he hands over. He then tries to talk his way out of it: "So its a beautiful day and we just got carried away, were actually out here celebrating that my friend is moving to New Zealand on Friday is there any chance we could not dampen the great mood of the day?" He looks at my friend and says hold on Ive got something to better determine your speed. Pulls out this little piece of cardboard that has 3 different sized holes in it (attached) holds it up to his jacket "yep you were going pretty fast" He then shows us what's written on the other side of the cardboard, it reads: "Bug Splat-O-Meter" and under each hole it has a corresponding speed. Well we got a huge laugh out of that and he let us go no ticket and just said why don't you guys have a good day and go buy each other lunch.

So we did.
