Do you think the justice system works and is fair, or does it only work for those that have alot of money ?
Would you recommend to your kids to become a cop ?
How often do you have to do target practice with the glock ?
Do you have regular fitness tests ?

Never joined the top gun academy (i.e. HWP). Uniform and some time in D's.Quote:

Things like rough treatment to get an answer, or staying in good with an informant aren't "by the rules" but it's not corruption in the sense that you're not benefitting from it personally. Plenty of that, and should be more of it today. Too many little scrotes need a kick up the arse to deter them from bigger trouble.Quote:

One more question: Hwy Patrol seem to be a different breed. I've chatted with normal cops and they seem like great people mostly but never met a Hwy patrol who falls into that category. Do normal cops think Hwy Patrol are arseholes ?
Oh, and another thing I lost in a brothel once, apart from my dignity, pride, self respect, ego, sanity etc was I don't know what the technical name for it is, but it's the handle of the zipper, the part you grab it by.Quote:

There's dickheads on the roads and we need the HWP to do it's bit and they are often first on the scene to some horrific car wrecks so it's not all fast cars and Rayban Aviators. But yeah, a lot of them are top gun pilots.
Aussie police are fine. NZ police are fuckers. Once, in Queenstown NZ, a hooligan driver tipped me for driving "recklessly" when he was the one speeding. The police managed to track my rented car down and issued me a fine even though he was not at the scene to make an unbiased decision. He gave a racist remark: we need to put you Asians back in buses. I asked for his ID and I reported his racist behaviour to the higher ups. I got a reply from the police saying he got disciplinary action, although it didn't specify what.
Not sure you can group all Oz cops in the same basket, I reckon NSW cops are better than Victorian cops, you are less likely to die from a gunshot wound from a cop in NSW ... :)Quote:

What about the fine? You challenge it?Quote:

No fine, but Let’s ask FMH, if a fine could be imposed
You can probably go to the court in Parramatta and appeal any ticket. But if you have a chequered driving infringement history, be prepared to loseQuote:

Based on what you've said, no. A fine could not be imposed without prima facie evidence. If it was imposed, it could be appealed. Chequered history or not, where's the evidence of the offence? IF the cop issued a fine and you appealed it, they would need to have the witness make a statement. Even then, there is a technicality that the fine should not have been imposed without evidence. "Gees, officer, I wonder if that was the lady that stepped out between 2 cars while on her mobile phone and I had to take evasive action to not run her over? Funny that she'd make a complaint about me when she was lucky I didn't clean her up!"
if the dodgy witness said you were speeding through a school zone for example, a cop might find you and pull you over, and as a first step determine if you're under the influence and posing some sort of risk. Duty of care. If not, then give you a talking to that you were witnessed allegedly doing something damn stupid and that's where it ends.

I was aware that it was an unlikely fine, And you’re right that much prefer to be in Stockholm than Parramatta
No need. Just bang on the wall, I may be in the next room.Quote:
