Sneeky rotten low down pigs

Oh and as I reach for my flame suit... MOST cops I have dealt with have been decent blokes doing a job who have been friendly, polite and helpful... even the guy who booked me in BH for speeding (because I was) dropped the reported speed so I got the lesser fine and demerits.

u must be one of the lucky 1's Gruni, most cops I come across r power hungry so n so's ........I do however think there will be no agreance on this topic lol.


it's good to have a healthy debate

Even when they have nabbed me I tend to smile and be fine about it and it usually gets the same in return. Certainly the guy who got me at Larby (Kato 300) was a decent and laid back sort of guy.

I am yet to meet 1 :(......I will always think this hiding in trees is utter bullshit and nothing more than revune raising the filthy maggotts

I play soccer with three of the local boys. They're pretty good blokes so maybe we're lucky down this way.

Those blokes in the vid seemed a) far too happy that they busted people, and b) far too disappointed when one bloke on a bike was obeying the rules.

Think if that was me i would take it to court - demand the NATA calibration certificates for the radar, the verified sampling test conduted prior to use that day and even if all that was in order, still dispute the readings of the radar under the terms of use / misuse as per no clear line of sight (Trees in the way) and use from an elevated position. these devices are not 100% accurate at short distance on flay ground, let alone up there in them thar hills. Ever tried holding a laser poiter still at anything 10mtrs away, the spot jumps around like crazy, well sorry to say this is the same technology they use to fine the crap outa people.

Dispite me be caught red handed - lol I would still have a go at getting off... em

I dont think its got anything to do with road-riders as such, for me the issue is that they are clearly chasing the mighty $$.
Its like hidden speed cameras, do they stop people getting killed? NO THEY DONT. but what they do do is raise millions of dollars for the coffers.
You wanna save lives on the road they need to invest in educating drivers and riders, discounting ride/drive days, discounting legal drag nights, give rego and/or insurance discounts for drivers and riders that educate themselves to make them safer road users and have a CLEAR (not hidden) presence on the roads.

Fair call from the both of you... Interesting the different perspectives you get in a thread like this.
