Drive Tonight - Police Strike

[caminperth]

Not sure how true this is but they say that the police are striking tonight, no patrols and no police stations open after 6pm. Police will only attend life threatening incidents.

Anyone up for a gentle drive around Perth tonight?! hehehe...

[docile]

Ok its sorta true. The police have been involved in Union talks or whatever so if you get caught doing MINOR things (ie 15kms over, not stopping fully at a stop sign etc), you WILL be let off (providing the cop isnt a prick).

If you hit 200kms on the freeway and get caught they WILL nail you etc.

This has been happening over the last couple of weeks. They just pull you over and give you a warning etc. The've also been sitting in FRONT of multinova's on marmion ave, to stop people getting caught (the multinova guys arent involved with the pay disputes, so thats why thats happening etc)

[caminperth]

Thats why I said I'm not sure if it's true.

[dan_the_man]

sitting in front of multinovas? Really? hahahaha

[docile]

Yeh. I can 110% confirm that multinova thing is true and they wont book you for minor stuff

They will however get you for major stuff

[Guest RedLineGTR]

dam sounds like a sweet night to come...wish they did something like that in melb..

[PSIKO]

I think I now know why I was let off, and why I'm not sitting in a cell at this very point in time

[dan_the_man]

and I thought i was lucky for being caught for a second time in less than a week for having no front number plate n getting a "nice car, put it back on when u can" warning

[ix9]

oooh, this'll be interesting tonight

[Cake]

yeah they also said they wont attend burglaries, car thefts, minor assaults, only life threatening emergencies, and home invasions if the intruder is still in the house. they said they will attend high speed chases, but said there will be no patrols on the street.

*unscrews number plates*

How's anyone going to tell the difference - they dont attend any of those incidents when they arent on strike?

LOL ......

I was thinking that, this may actually be an improvement on daily life.

They rarely attend much any ways .... well anything that isn't hoon related.

All together now STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE

[C-Red]

Yeah bring it on I say - I feel a bit sorry for ordinary beat cops - but traffic can get rooted.

Jash

[Sneeza]

yes lets take advantage of this situation

Would you take advantage of nurses on strike be running rampage through the hospitals?

I'd like to see you guys laughing if your grandma was in a home invasion and the cops didn't show cause they were on strike.

[C-Red]

Sneeze,

Hence the laughter - The feelth hardly ever attend anything other than a murder these days - the amusement comes from the fact they were saying they werent going to attend anything other than life threatening situations - they dont as it is.

[Butters]

Sneeza,

Thats the problem, there isn't enough cops that attend things like home invasions. They don't do enough to see that sort of thing through either.

It's low prioirty compared to Hoons. If you rate prioirity by $$ spent and man power(time).

I have total respect for nurse's too. Thats a really hard job that takes a special person to do.

Think you take it all to seriously dude, Relax it was just a laugh.

[C-Red]

I just want to know what that Teddy is doing in her avatar.

But yeah you look at all the bullshit ad campaigns we have to sit through to save what maybe 50 lives a year when the filth reckon they havent got the resources to do anything about 99% of crimes committed. Except if you're speeding...

Dont fcken get me started
