| 1381193 | 2014-08-21 12:03:00 | It is only dangerous when the peasants do it. As long as the Police involved are members in good standing of the National Party, sweet as. (Note: For the purpose of this rule a person in the car not being a Member of Te Nats is entitled to a seat in the speeding car under the coat-tail rule.) It's also ok so long as your name is Helen Clarke and you are late for a rugby game. just saying.:rolleyes: |

I actually think she was hard done by. |

| 1381198 | 2014-08-22 03:32:00 | I'm certain that they would not be pulled over for speeding but that does not change the fact that they are not allowed to speed. But they are allowed to speed in the execution of their duties, which is all that was claimed. Outside of that caveat theyare no different to you or I, and will get pulled over or camera tagged if not engaged in bona-fide police business where urgency of response is vital. It is not just a matter of not being pulled over (or snapped by a speed camera), the law enables them to exceed the speed limit when deemed necessary by the officer or his/her controller whilst enroute to what clearly must be an emergency situation. That changes the fact, so it is your interpretation that is at fault. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

I actually think she was hard done by. No she doesn't. :p Just got back from Helen's place, they are having a after match function at her place this Saturday. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1381200 | 2014-08-22 10:15:00 | Which reminds me. A few years ago a couple of upstanding members of our constabulary shared a prank they had played. A local detective had just been assigned a new plain car for work and it was parked behind the CIB building. A uniform quietly picked up the keys and took it for a drive... He put on an overcoat and a cap, sat low in the seat, and drove like the clappers past a stationary camera car. Snap. There was a lot of noise and indignation a month later from the detective but he had no reasonable excuse or explanation so had to eat the ticket. :D |
