Police Blitz Tonight

[fooyoh]

Just got pulled over not 15 mins ago passing through CBD area.. Cop was a pretty nice bloke, popped my hood and saw the BOV and decided not to give me an EPA fine. Gave me $292 unroadworthy fine which is better than $500 fine + EPA inspection I guess. He also told me their doing a blitz tonight in the city so be careful if any of you guys are heading out tonight.

in all fairness, if it's TMU, then that IS their job. Even if that job is directed from above with the view to just collect money.

saw an impressive thing tonight. was waiting to turn onto flinders from swanston and heard shouting. in the time it took me to look, spot the fight, see blood and go "damn", there was an unmarked ford screeching to a halt with the rednblues going and two officers jumping in. very quick response indeed and my appreciation for the cops has increased from its recent low

LMAO Massa will be disappointed as he has been campaigning against unsafe driving

Guess it drops a small bomb on the theory that if hoons tried legal racing they'd keep it off the street - if an F1 driver can't hold back in a Benz

Got a good chuckle out of the Hamilton news story. Nice to see they didn't let him go and treated him like anyone else. Is it possible they're blitzing due to the death of the owner of La Porchetta, or is it just because the GP is on and they expect a lot of hoon behaviour?

Reminds me of the time Valentino Rossi was caught at over 200kph on his way to Philip Island a few years ago.

Don't think they give other hoon drivers a police escort home to protect their identity..

My dad was given a lift home by the police after being done at a booze bus 3 years ago. He asked nicely, they said yes and sent him home in the pursuit car. He was friendly and co-operative and they treated him in the same manner.

[alr33x]

thought they had to drive u home?

[gdogzgtr]

Don't have to drive anyone home. If they have been good to deal with and it's fairly local I will drive them home. I will always let them call friend to collect them or taxi for them. If they have been pain in the ass and heavily intoxicated I have then locked them up for drunk after dealing with the driving matters.

The city on weekends fri/sat night and public holidays have 50-100 extra members working safe streets (overtime shift) Double time to do pretty much stuff all. It's all stats driven the more arrests, fines, nou, epa etc means you will get more shifts in there earning big money. There is NO warnings for that reason as a warning isn't going to help you get another shift in there earning big money walking around the city.

I love the way your posts make yourself out the be the 'knight in shining armour' Police Officer. I'd be willing to put money on it that you don't do half the things you claim you do, just like the rest of your 'esteemed' colleagues.
