Dare I say this would be the case 100% of the time? I immediately thought this when I heard the story on the news about the 14 year old who got tasered the other day. Why would cops be wasting time with a 14 year old, unless he was doing something that required them to defend themselves? They...

Good for you. That's the community attitude I like. Cops are @rseholes - until you need one, right?

I reckon if anyone spent all day long pulling over idiots who break traffic laws, who then whine and moan, and/or be a smart @rse to the cops concerned, they'd have to become very arrogant and dislike humans eventually. Hell; I feel like that after dealing with the public for 30 odd years, and...

Those characters don't exist. Didn't you know; the cops are always harassing us ordinary folk who only do unimportant little illegal things. "Why aren't you out there picking on the real criminals?" is one of their common whinges from disgruntled ordinary folk who have just broken some silly...

People who turn hostile are those who don't like getting caught for doing something wrong; even if it is a minor infringement. It's still an infringement nonetheless, so the problem is with them; not the cops. I have enormous respect for the cops - they should be paid double; having to put up...

You don't need audio, and you don't need to be a Sherlock Holmes to see what went on there. Why was there a band of cops walking down the path, following a bunch of dudes in the first place? I'd make a wild guess and say they had previously been a problem at the festival, and were being...

I think you are a victim mentality type. Are you? because this smacks of it. How about we have no cops then; would you be happy with that? If anything, the police are now toothless tigers, and have far less discretionary powers than ever before. People now openly swear and verbally...

They're allowed to do random tests. Especially if they see someone do something which stands out that they might not be fully in control of their faculties. Going down a one-way street the wrong way would give them cause no doubt, or a few swerves down the road, etc. Maybe totally innocent and...

Of course not, but they have to set a line at some point that dumb humans won't cross who can't work out what is a most likely a dangerous practice. Most pedestrians get hit in low speed zones in built up areas. An extra 5km's could mean the diff between quadriplegic and badly injured but will...

I suspect that there is one, but he didn't want to reveal it on tv, because guess what would happen?... If the speed limit was say; 60km/h, and everyone knew the "tolerance" was say; 5%, then everyone would be sitting on 63km/h immediately and sneak out a coupla K more. Far safer to admit...

In an interview about a year ago relating to speed cameras, a spokesman from the RTA (I think it was) was asked what the tolerance for escaping a fine was over and above the speed limit in a specific area? His response was something like this: "There isn't one, and even if there was; I wouldn't...
