Good Idea Or Bad Idea ?

You watch way too much american TV.

No Australian Police force (including Feds) operate by the motto of "serve and protect"

There is a giant badge on the victorian police headquarters, on flinders street west that says otherwise

That is the victorian Police motto

"Serve and Protect"

it's quite hard to see, but its on their website ; http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?Document_ID=2

Edit:

I am sorry, it is 'Protect and Serve', not Serve and Protect.

I wouldn't call the cops.

Not after my previous experiences, some are good, but the majority of the time it is a major inconvenience.

To clarify;

My friend (the on with the Vlt, which is stock,) reluctantly accepted said drunk luntic's offer for a ride, to prove that the car was a turbo.

This raving drunk lunatic was also throwing VB stubbies and handing out threats to us.

-He was smart enough to pick fights with the bouncers at three different pubs.

-He also wasn't going home, as bendigo is a fair walk

-I was in no way letting him any where near my car, but my mate was stupid enough to let him in his vl, to prove it was turbo, not that it was a 9 second car.

that's his business not mine.

-The '9 second car' was a stock XD belonging to drunk lunatic.

He wouldn't leave us, even after we turned away from him and the silence lasted a good 40 seconds.

On a saturday night (at 7pm) in a quiet country town i doubt that they would have anything more important to do.

The police just cruise around until ridiculous hours of the morning making sure drunk people dont wreck property, start fights, and pull over cars for rbt's. I don't have a problem with this, but what they did was not right.

So i highly doubt that the local police have 'nothing better to do'

'Serve and Protect' my ar$e

Well you don't know the role of a police officer then. If you don't know what they were doing you can't assume they were doing nothing at all.
