last night when I was turning into the street at work in a dence industrial area 10:45pm going to work, i decided to get the scorp to do a nice drift into the street, so i drove up to the corner at 80, dumped it into 1st and gave her all she had, nice amount of noise/smoke , etc. however a highway patrol cock happened to be coming the other way on the street i was sliding into. needless to say the bastard swung his SS commonwhore around to get me, now noticing him halfway through the drift it was too late (bloody blind sidestreets) so there i was mid flight of a drift and i saw a cop, so what did I do? the only thing i could continued the nice drift, gunned the car all the way to the enterance of work and flogged it into the carpark at full bore, unfortunatly the inner enterence was blocked so i had to stop behind some cars, during the mean time the cop had pulled into the work carpark behind me (i didnt see his lights flashing until he entered the carpark (hes a wanker he knows i saw him, just tried to embarrass me infront of my workmates... needless to say it didnt work my workmates all gave him the finger as he was leaving the carpark after warning me :P.) Anyway he only gave me a warning, i figure because i was actually going to work and not just out drifting. So warned me and left.
Just as he was leaving the carpark 3 other work mates showed up and each of them laid rubber around the same corner.. the copper must not have known what one did it so couldnt chace them.
Glad i didnt get defected.. that would have sucked...'
First week there and I bring the cops into the work carpark :P... that was only because i didnt wanna get defected :P
anyway... anyone else done anything as stupid?
Done anything stupid lately? i have

Consider yourself lucky, i know some cops in NZ that would have had you down the station before the smoke had sett;ed.
I probably wouldnt have taken it any further but bear it in mind for the future, some cops are wankers.
except me of course

At the risk of sounding like the voice of reason....
You give the guy (yes, cops are people as well) shit in your post, you were 'breaking the law' (even if you don't agree with it), he only gave you a warning and you feel hard done by???
He sounds like he did right by you. Perhaps a warning to stop you doing something dangerous in future?
Just playing devils advocate and trying to see the logic here.

Hey kiwistar do nz police get paid for each ticket they issue?, i was once pulled up for speeding but was let away with a warning, I've been told theres some kind of target or something :? would of thought he would have given me a ticket hands down if that were the case, although it was my first offence
If we got paid for every ticket that we wrote, then I would be emptying ticket books faster than a burglar will run from the blue and red lights.
The only people who get a commision is the city council parking nazis.
Police dont have a 'quota' as such but an expected contact rate per hour, be it warnings, tickets or other contact with motorists.
This is to stop us from sitting on our arses eating doughnuts all day or doing the paper work that our job creates. Instead we come in on our days off an do the paper work while eating doughnuts. The LTSA funds road policing in NZ and the NZ Police are contracted to do that policing, they expect a return for their money, hence an expected contact rate.
Contact rates are more a traffic branch thing than general duties but general duties still have expected results to achieve.
IMHO
A warning is something every police officer has the option to choose in some cases, however there are also a heck of alot of other 'quota' opportunities that are ignored, reg's wofs' failing to indicate etc. If we wrote up everything we saw then you would probably find that adherence to the law would become the norm due to the fear of being made broke by a cops pen.
Obviously the above is my opinion and not that of the NZ Police or the comissioner

If someone called me a cock or a wanker I'd think they were giving me shit.Gutter_Rat wrote:im not giving him shit
I'd be too.Gutter_Rat wrote:im happy all i got was a warning
Hmmm. How bout this for an analogy - just because you had some teachers at school who might have been bastards, does it make them all bastards? (I like this analogy....pick the teacher on the forum ;) )Gutter_Rat wrote:but i have never gotten along with any cops. and i will never speak highly of one.
Having run raves and 'illegal dance parties' I can honestly say that every cop I've dealt with in these situations (usually due to noise complaints and once due to a punter taking too many pills) has been excellent to deal with. Both city and country cops have been cool. Every time I've been bretho'd and had my car looked over they've been fine. And the one that arrested some young hoon who caused a brawl in a restaurant due to the evidence I gave was excellent too.
The only 'bad cop' I had a run in with (idiot thought because I had 3 beers in 3 hours and blew 0.02 thought I needed a warning...cockhead) was during a big blitz in the city due to a stabbing the previous night, so perhaps he was a bit stressed.
*shrug* If your attitude toward people who happend to be cops for a living is negative, then it's self fufilling.
And having been friends with people who've killed themselves due to hooning in cars, I stand by the fact that you should consider yourself lucky you were given a warning. Would a fine have made a better deterrent in your case? I don't know.
