Just trying to make sure he is recognised for something!   

How about some Christmas cheer!!

Umm where ... what do you ....This really does take the cake, This guy would have to be the poster child for stupidity... pity he gives the rest of the blue a bad rap because of it...

[Kangaron]

the real criminals Foo

Unfortunately the Traffic Branches do not catch crooks, not their job, they chase cars for a living

[JCOJ]

Our SA police force is just there to raise revenue for this blatanty inept government that has got us into record debt and still wants to spend $40M on a footbridge!!

[jetcrew]

Thats what you call a jury FXXXXR ,

When/if  half of ipswich sits in a court room on jury duty ..all they will remember is how stupid and silly this cop was and prob find the defendant not guilty just to stick it back to mornic decisons like this.

Shame really, but I,m sure you all have an idiot or 2 at your workplace ...police force is no different many many good people trying to do thier best ..let down by morons..

Tell you what if I ever have a crash because I was blinded and defened by the sirens and flashing lights of an ambulance I'll ask the QPS to booK the QAS....yeah right

I didnt know there were different types... everyone I've met on the road has been a ****, no matter how I've acted on car or bike..

Like the one that pulled me over few weeks ago leaving Kangaron's place. Apparently my car blew smoke - the fact its a diesel makes no difference (the rules on the letter from EPA state if the smoke does not disappear in 10 seconds your ****ed which is fair enough I reckon)

This filth didnt even follow me for 1/2 of the width of an intersection before full lights and sirens until I pulled over - so the world could see what a man he is... (this cop has got 4 people I know personally off Patrol forum for minute things, one bloke twice, and was waiting close to his house. Yes, out tax $$ saving us from criminals

So I get a letter from the EPA saying I've been reported for excessive smoking vehicle...  and if it happens again $1500 - or if they take it to court $8600.... 

I've been to 4 (2 diesel specialists) mechanics that say it has no problem.. of course these are all at my expense. Apparently they love this same cop, making thousands out of people for ... well one bloke said out of 20 cars, not one has blown smoke!!

Money where your mouth is lost. Take it to court. Tell us the outcome. You don't need a lawyer just turn up and state your case. Easy.

My word against Sgt Roostersmoker? I've played that game before years ago with bikes... You dont win.

That's the reason I won't upgrade my headlights to HID. The ARB bar will stop the light scatter but Mr Plod won't give a toss about that. I've heard the copper at Mansfield makes his quota from 4wds with HIDs.

Thank God someone is trying to clean up our roads 

Sorry mate, could'nt resist.  Merry Christmas by the way.

[matt150]

Pretty low act.

I was thinking about how people with decorated 4wds (Xmas lights) would go with the cops ?

What was the ticket actually for? What was the stated offence? $44 seems like an awfully cheap fine. I am sure "flashing red lights" or "flashing blue lights" would attract a higher fine than that. Maybe the officer involved had been instructed to "deal with it" after some moron made a complaint. So he dealt with it ( the cheapest way possible) - can go back and report to his superiors/complainaint "yep, pulled him up and gave him a ticket boss".

I am sure if he was the "mongrel" type officer implied he would of found a lot steeper ticket to hand out.

As for some of Lost's "friends in blue" - some of the copper's I have worked with have done stuff like that (EPA, HID issues) not because they are c***ts but that is just their current "hot topic". They have found out that a particular issue is an issue, so for the next month that it is what they concentrate on, without actually knowing what the real problem is, or why in fact the issue makes a vehicle unroadworthy.

Worked with a copper recently. Every defect he handed out (no matter how minor, even a vehicle that was only defected for a couple of clearance lights not working) also had the "RWC required" box ticked. It's just the way he always worked (habit).

But I wont totally disagree with Lost, some of them are just pr**cks! As are some of my work collegues!

(and no I am not a copper....just work with some on a semi regular basis.)

The Moreton Council sponsor Santa be towed around in a trailer done up like a sleigh in Redcliffe and it drives around the whole Redcliffe Peninsula during the Christmas period.

I hope that copper doesn't transfer here!

And what the acting Minister said- what a CAWK!!

The official fine was. " for using lights to dazzle road users"

Some Police use common sense, including the one who laughed it off when 1 of my dogs started barking like mad as I did a breath test the other night. It was kind of funny having this racket take place in the back of the car as I put the drivers window down :-)

[krisandkev]

Come on guys. I know this is obviously a very touchy subject, but perhaps watch the language.  Perhaps one of the administrators could remove some of the words used to describe the said officer and please do not think all are like these few.  A few do think they are better than everyone else and the uniform gets to them.  Yep, just like in every other occupation, there are a few bad ones.   Kevin

  Unfortunately this type of idiotic behaviour is only going to be more common place!!!!!!!!! This is what happens when you recruit academics to do a job that used to be left to people with life experience and common sense!!!!! In my day if I had have done anything like that I would have been reprimanded by the bosses (at the very least) and asked why if I feared for the safety of the community why I didn't escort the Santa Truck and do something positive for all concerned!!!!!

I guess it is the difference between Merry Christmas from an "Old School Cop" and Merry Christmas from the "New Breed"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
