    Cardboard Police car

    Just saw this on the Stuff News Site
    http://www.stuff.co.nz/3938914a10.html

    Looks pretty real from the back, I'd slow down.

    You're not supposed to waste cops - either at the side of the road or anywhere else for that matter.

    Can it be construed as impersonating a police officer though..If the police had done it then fair play but Fulton Hogan? I think they've broken the law.

    I wonder how that would stand against the lovely wind in this country? Wouldn't it just scare the shit out of you if you saw the arse of a cop car being blown around the motorway?

    Is impersonating the Police legal? I think not if I was to do it.

    I'd have a word with your union rep mate - that's demarcation that is. It's not like they're paying you enough for all the shit you get from KB let alone the shit you get when the pubs empty on a Friday night! Sorry - forgot where you lived for a moment there - I'll rephrase, when the pub empties.

    Read the article, Transit bylaw of some sort allows them...

    I'm not convinced by that. What gives Transit the right to let people impersonate police officers? I'm sure I'm not allowed to impersonate a cop even in my own home; this is a public place, and the point is to make people think there's a cop there when there isn't.

    But then, I get annoyed when a shopkeeper sticks a red or blue beacon in their window ...

    Yup - I read that bit - it implies that I can therefore impersonate a Police officer while on my front lawn - which I might do next time my neighbours kid drifts his beemer round the corner.

    There's going to be a lot of 'Cried Wolf' syndrome if people get complacent and assume it's just another cut out.

    Uni Students will have fun with that cut out ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... gone.
    As will those who do tagging.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    Won't it get soggy in the rain?

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
