Just don't get argumentative, it will make things worse. They are humans, yes there are bad ones out there. Suck it up. If they are out of bounds take it up with the station sergeant afterwards. Trust me, sergeants don't want bad coppers working under them. They don't want more paperwork.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the HWP are the biggest hoons out there. Give them base model 4 or 6 cylinder cars instead of what they have now, and half the force will resign overnight.

I don't like running officers down, I work with them on an ongoing manner in emergency services, the largest majority are top blokes doing a rat**** job, but this one was a bit strange. the problem, as I see it, is that he pulled me over, didn't stop the triple road train nor the two dual cab utes that were sitting on around 90 KPH that also passed by him that I had just passed.......then he himself put every other road user at risk with his high speed antics in chasing a ghost. the road we were on is long, straight and relatively flat, anyone familiar with the stretch between snowtown and crystal brook knows the road, so we could see this bloke chasing this "shadow", weaving in and out of traffic with lights flashing for many miles at excessive speed. there was never any vehicle overtaking me at that stage, if there was he would have been at the speed of light because we were running at 135 plus to get past the truck and dual cabs.

I've had weights and measures boys as well as road patrol pull me over in my trucking days that were outright cowboys but nothing like this one.

one minute he's reading the riot act, on the spot 12 month loss of license, umpteen thousand dollar fine then he's talking about he wants the other bloke????????
I'm still confused as all hell about it.......first offence and they come down this hard.....really!!! far as I'm, concerned he can spend the rest of his days chasing phantoms.

The Police giving offenders a mouthful is nothing new. So much legal obligations, and litigation that can occur now days. Sometimes it is just easier for the Police to warn people, and still feel like they are achieving their desired outcome.

I once had a copper tell me it's a $50 fine for any trailer tyre that's over 4 years old. I'd never heard of the law. Anyway friend is a station sergeant and he said yep it's a law, but it's also ridiculous and should never be brought up. Said he'd have a word with the bloke to make sure he wouldn't do it again. If it's worrying you give them a ring and ask for some clarity. Once a fine is issued it's pretty much impossible to have it un-done if you know what I mean. Personally I think it was a strange way of giving you a warning.

we have a training session tonight, the attending officer for the session is a senior sergeant, I'll ask him about it "off the record" but I think I have received a weird warning.
never heard of the older tyre thing but not surprised, plenty of laws out there that I'm sure I'm not aware of, can't see too many officers getting down on their hands and knees to read the date stamp on a tyre.

I've never had a bad cop pull me over, always nice and friendly.
I was in my 4x4 a few years ago, it was 11pm and I just arrived at Lancelin Beach and drove onto the start of the sand dunes.I was on my way to meet some mates camping. I let my tyres down, cracked open a JimBeam can and took off spinning my wheels in the sand. 10 seconds later blue and reds flashing behind me - they pulled me over in the dunes!!!! They asked my if I had anything to drink and I told them about my can I just cracked. They did a breatho and I was over the limit due to alcohol on my breath. We had a good chat while we waited 10 minutes for my breath to clear and he did another breatho - all clear. He said "don't drive so fast and don't finish that can until you get to camp" and he took off! I thought I was gone for sure but I reckon if I was an ******** to him he would have done things differently. |
