+1 Have to say it's all about attitude; if you get out of your car with a chip on your shoulder you'll end up with someting to complain about.I've been getting away with more than I should for years by simply being polite and friendly to cops, it works.

Just like ticketing people at 1km/h over the limit is in the name of "road safety".
Crap, this doesn't happen, never has never will. Stick to facts mate, your cop issues are making you look dumb.

Once agian more people stressed over there rights being infringed. Oddly its only when you break the rules of the land. 3 suggestions. Do your best to stick with in the rules. I know when Im breaking them so how come no one else seems to! Get into Politics or join the Police and change it from within. Or the best idea. Go somewhere like Johannesburg and strut your civil rights there for awhile, let ya hair down and do what you want, they dont care to much. Odds are youll end up dead in one of the lovely ways they like taking you out. Or stay in bad arse NZ and think your hard done by when your pinged for 10kph over the limit. Or is it 1kph now! And you would be surprised how many people get away withthings when pulled over, but you never here of that very often on here.

Another reason to do away with vehicle licensing and collect the fee with a fuel component, cops wont have to chase you up and you cant drive your car without paying it !

Well with people crashing planes into large buildings and such happenings do you not ask yourself why!. Would you rather they try and sort the riff raff out or just let that kinda thing happen. Do you know how many have been caught before acting by these kind of survailance tactics!.Or would you rather nutters blow people up then complain that "the government" isnt doin enough and its there fault. Only people with things to hide have a problem. Hey if somone wants to look in my computer good on them, they will be disapionted.

this has been outside my place.it is quite a set up.they have to have cops down the end both ways a distance from the van. by the time you have passed the van they know if you need picking up.it is very quick technology.just be glad it isnt in the patrol cars as it is in britain

Whilst on the subject of motorcycles, did anyone see road cops on Wednesday night. It must have been PR night as the copper decided against issuing a ticket to a motorcyclist that he had snapped fair and square at 100k's thru a temp road works restriction. The motorcyclist even admitted that he was on the edge points wise at 85 points suggesting that he possibly has a bit of a habit of disregarding speed limits now and then, well done the copper for believing the chaps spiel and showing a whisker of compassion.
Still on the subject of motorcycling, when and if you are out there on the roads, keep an eye out for trees lol
yes noticed that and thought the same but also all the cars that he let through
