837074 2009-12-07 23:37:00 Cops do ask dumb questions from time to time. Much like any other group of people.

I used to be employed by the M.O.T and back then we had a script.

Good day Sir/Madam I have stopped you for (insert reason here).
Have you any reason for (X)?

Person burbles on with whatever...........................

I see. (This does not mean you agree with the burble)

May I see your drivers licence please? If license not produced then ticket to produce within 7 days would be issued as a matter of course regardless of whatever that person was stopped for in the first place. At that time you had 7 days to produce.

So on........

In some 7 years I was never assaulted, shot etc.

You don't pull up someone for speeding and then be a smarty and ask "wheres the fire"

Just once I got a little offended when a person suggested my mother had an abnormal relationship with a donkey and I, by accident, stood on his foot. Could have been worse. He could have suggested I had an abnormal relationship with a johnkey maybe.

Anyway bring back the MOT

837076 2009-12-08 00:43:00 I guess the police are imperfect (some anyway), but I shudder to think what the alternative would be.

Don't Steal My Blood:
Simon Power has introduced a new law called the Land Transport Amendment Act 2009 which allows police officers to REQUIRE a driver to give blood if the driver fails a compulsory drug impairment test. The driver CAN refuse but the driver will be arrested, charged, and be convicted of refusing and then the driver will be fined or jailed.
What is a compulsory impairment test?
Seeing if your pupil is dilated, which could be dilated for many reasons, not just drugs:
en.wikipedia.org

Seeing if you can walk in a straight line heel to toe, and to stand on one leg, which you may not be able to do for many reasons including having a sore leg, just not good at balancing, nervous, not just because of drugs.

And with a blood test, it can detect marijuana that a person smoked 90 days ago:

Don't steal my blood Simon Power because i may fail a flimsy impairment test. I'm all for testing for drugged drivers but please use the saliva test that Australia uses where you put a small absorbent pad on a person's tongue for a few seconds, and wait five minutes for the result:
tinyurl.com

This law is like saying:
Police: Hey 16 year old girl step out of the car and walk in a straight line.
Girl: Ok
Police: You can't walk in a straight line so I am going to require you to pull down your pants and I am going to stick my hand up your anus and vagina to see if there is any drugs in there which could be the reason why you cannot walk in a straight line. And after this I require you to come to the hospital to pump your stomach to see if you swallowed any drugs. You can refuse all of this but if you do you will be arrested, charged, and be convicted of refusing and then you will be fined or jailed.

So immediately you should put a STOP to the police requiring alleged drugged drivers to undergo a blood test because there are too many factors why a person may fail the compulsory impairment test without even being under the influence of drugs .

Don't Steal My Property Rights:
Simon Power introduced a new law called the Domestic Violence (Enhancing Safety) Bill which will allow the police to issue instant protection orders to an alleged offender that will mean the alleged offender will have to leave his/her home for up to 5 days.
How is this STEALING my property rights? If the alleged offender owns/co owns or is renting/co-renting the home it will mean the alleged offender will be FORCED to leave his/her own home, and the home owner will still have to pay their mortgage/rent when they aren't even living their for 5 days.
I'm all for reducing violence in the home but the police should only be able to issue instant protection orders to an alleged offender if the alleged offender does NOT own/co own/rent/co-rent the home.

Join this group and tell all your friends to join and notify the media. Email Simon Power and tell him to change these laws and copy and paste the text from this facebook group: s.power@ministers.govt.nz

Who wrote this rubbish? "the law is like saying:" what abysmal English . If that is your understanding of our language, why should I even consider that you have any understanding of the law .

Your whole post is ignorant, and warrants no further consideration .
