Look I know that the number of cops involved in the stop was over the top, but may I ask the question.
Is this bloke just stupid or does he deliberately go out to attract cop attention with the hope he can have his 15 minutes of fame on Facebook/Utube?

He must have been aware that his "colours" would attract police attention the FIRST time he was pulled up.

How difficult is it to wear a coat without patches while the current campaign is on.

I have to say I personally believe that people who need patches etc are pretty pathetic especially when they MIMIC outlaw gangs without really being an outlaw. Why? To intimidate? What statement are they making? Maybe "I am a mild mannered accountant trying HARD to look tough"

I rode a motorcycle for 40 years without EVER being pulled over by a cop.

I think it was a set up, on the bike riders part. How many do you see with a camera on the helmet? I have heard thru the grapevine [ but can not substantiate it] that that particular social bike club were sick of being pulled over, and decided to make a social media complaint. That is why he was dressed as he was. He seemed to be well briefed on what to say. If it has taken the heat off that social club, well done. There used to be a time here you could nod g'day at a local police car, and get a nod back. Not now. Bob

Still can in my town and a town nearby south of me. I always give the boys in blue a "landy wave" and 80% of the time I get a response.

While some people seem to think coppers are fair game, and the "response" to the rider was over the top, what we don't see, are the events before the video starts.

That aside, have a look at this post from Digger. Just a normal day for our boys & girls that walk the thin blue line.

So, when that mongrel copper pulls you over, and gives you a hard time for wearing your "SMC" patches, just remember, they may have just finished up a job like this.

That aside, yes, there are good & bad coppers in every police service around the world. Yes, some are on a power trip. Yes, they have to act professionally at all times. Yes, they have sworn to uphold the law. No, they do not make the law. Yes, they can show some discresion in the way they apply those laws. BUT, they also act under orders from their superiors.

And yes, I have been, what I would call unfairly, pulled over by the police for being on my mobile phone. (I wasn't) But, because he couldn't do me for that, he defected the Disco for too dark tint. For the record, it failed by around 10%...

it did feel warm... especially after spending the morning at a suicide in a shed near our area doing the investigation, sorting the body and then cleaning up so rels didnt have to etc etc...

the old "vacola" thermometer on a wooden post in centre of shed read 62 degs!

and it felt like it!!

and then I took a hose inside to wash the floor out and the humidity there moved the feeling up to "steam swimming pool"!!


But, at 3pm I was driving back into my village and the new you beaut clock gave a reading of 47degrees!! , I though "bollocks" so hit the external temp button on the work car which flashed 48 and settled back at 47...

then off to a fire to chase the CFS at maggea!! (lots of callouts yesterday and last night re lightening hits starting fires in our area... I finished work at 5 yesterday, then callout at 5.30 and I jumped off the truck at midnight!)

Luckily this one was a false alarm (good to get a break go our way!)

tomorrow will be interesting..






PS Mick could stay with us but Im afraid every time I got ready for work he'd bolt out the door!!

G'day Bob10

Nah! not Sydney, Brisbane early 68 Woolloongabba Cop shop,and a nice friendly officer by the name of Sparrow,very disappointed that I could prove that I wasn't the person he was after, and on parting quietly said "I will get you yet" he had locked up several of my old school friends for various things,the constable that took me back home suggested I return to NSW for my "health" which I did,sold my distinctive vehicle to a friend for $1, and he his for the same $1 so I drove his Holden south and he had my Customline ex-Ambo said officer chucked a wobbly when he found out. my girlfriend followed about 2 months later, but her mother wasn't happy we eventualy split and she married one of my motorcycle mates in 71 they are still together, on the job front I requested a transfer back to BMC/Leyland from Annand & Thompson Pty.Ltd.

cheers

Seems you have company Mick, I just got the treatment too. It wasn't all bad, one of the fellows asked me if I was backing the 'Roos again this year , apparently that's what the NMFC stickers are, on the back of my Ford.
