Cop admits radar not calibrated!!

At risk of being shot down.....here goes

I had an appointment with my accountant today, a really straight guy, drives a grunty V8, loves speed and is married to the minister of his local church....
He tells of driving early one Sunday morning (Whangaparaoa Road) and his wife pointing out the cop coming out a side road......he checks speed and continues.........rear view mirror shows the cop behind him........radar detector goes off, instant check of speed shows 53 km/ph.......and cop has lights on.......you pull over eh guys?........

Cop askes if he has any idea why she pulled him over?......"NO"......cos you were doing 68km/ph.....

Um no, looks over at his wife (complete with dog collar).......my wife told me you were there, I saw you and checked my speed......my radar detector went off when you checked me I was not doing 68km/ph!

I will let you off this time.......my radar has not been calibrated for a while.......watch your speed!....gets in car and drives off.....

The question was asked......"wonder if she will do the same to all she pulls up today?"......

Advice from accountant.......ask for calibration certificate if ever pulled over....save the cops the

factor in court, and you the dollars defending yourself..

PS.....this is not meant to be a cop bashing thread either.......just good advice from my accountant

A Pom bashing thread. She must me a witch. She turned me into a newt. I got better.

I think thats great!

They should just do away with calibrations... It would save me a fair amount of money

So when did the accountant get his speedo calibrated to know his was the correct speed....from the last speeding ticket?

Obviously it was Gods fault, he made all this apparently. I have yet to see anything he did appropiately calibrated.

I though accountants all drove mitzi magna's and ford mondeos. A V8 doesnt make fiscal sense

But ministers of the cloth must have some status with the flock.... after all it's funded by the collection plate.

I wonder how often the radars are checked for accuracy though?
