Yes but if you don't admit too it then they can only give you a warning but if you say you did $200 fine.

Do you know that they were calling up police units, and that those units were acting on their calls?

That would lose some a topic to "chat" about on the TMMBs

Please explain? If it is an officer on duty at lights there word bests yours and you're booked surely?

Good! This is actually stopping unsafe practices that cause accidents and injury. Much rather they did this than usual stupid speed obsession.

Good shit, nail those red/orange light runners. (Well if the orange light runners could have stopped in time)

No unless they have recorded evidence then they have no case, never admit anything unless you know they have evidence and ask for it, the same as if you get done speeding ask to see the speed evidence if they don't have it no fine happened to me a few times and so far never had a ticket.

About time they did something about red light runners. one at every set of lights would be my suggestion rather than complain about it

No reasoning - I just think that hoodies are a fashion crime :)
Not feeling too serous about traffic stuff today. Just back from a delightful trip to Paeroa and back for the weekend.

know someone who got shunted from behind by a cop car.the officers excuse and he was pissed that he got caught "why didn't you just run the F N orange light" even tho he was in a marked patrol car and they fought the insurance and the cop denied and denied for ages

Where in Ingill was this happening?(op)
I have seen a marked car parked 'nose out' on a slanting carpark (illegal parking, facing wrong way or on wrong side of road) outside the 'Subway' on Martin st. Radioing marked cars on Elles rd to pull over cars.
At the same time I see a civi in a car, listening to a radioscanner, jotting down the names of the cars owners etc. just across the road.
Bloody weird when getting half way thru a turn and finding a police car comming right at you. Till I relised it was just parked the wrong way round.

I've been hit in the arse twice by cop cars over the years. 1st was 50 Km area, indicated to pull over on the side of the road to park and got hit. The first arsehole went all over my car trying to find something wrong with it so he could book me.
2nd was exiting a service area on to a main road with a stop sign and got hit from behind. Perhaps he thought i wouldn't stop and he could ping me for $150 for failing to stop on the stop sign. Instead my tow bar shredded his radiator.

lol is that the same as cops here hiding in gardens at the lights to radio the cars up the road? They've done that for years.
