Police Force Budget Cut !

[GTR-N1]

Andrew Scippione announced that...

NSW Police have to trim $28,000,000 off their budget for '09

Does this mean that as well as switching from 'phone calls out' to 'internet' that...

there'll be less fuel usage > less cruising/patrolling > greater restrictions on chasing > trimming defect flying squads like 'Taipan' ?

My suggestion is that...

Car Clubs only need to be more CREATIVE about where to meet up; like

a) Cemeteries (for great photos next to tombstones, gardens and the ultimate convoy look)

b) Modern Industrial Sites (for pics of cars reflected against the frequently cleaned glass panels)

c) Old industrial sites (for a grunge/rustic-look pic)

d) Old brickworks (as above)

e) Riverside spots

f) Bridges

g) Stagnant pond where you can park your car adjacent to it and snap a complete reflection of your wheels

KKs and MacDummy are so passe

but...

Beware of the mole.

BTW... Take your loooow ramps with you! Creativity tip? Most people use loooow ramps under the front wheels to change oil.

Why not use loooooow ramps under both wheels on ONE side for a groooovy pic?

Corny? Yeh sure! But hey... not when the pic comes out!

Sorry, I've ED on too long. But since the Police stations have also been trimmed, one only needs to mark on a map where they are and meet up halfway between each pair = maths In other words, with those budget cuts above, you spread that taipan snake all over the place until it's chasing shadows and slithers away. My 2c. My 2c? Creativity can also mean that wherever you meet, you can set up a "Charity Photoshoot" where a $1 donation from each car goes to a nominated "Charity". Even tell Salvos or Exodus Foundation (for the homeless) to come a along with their donation box and collect = Credibility

Feel Good! Tez

Exactly right = 100%

Mr Keystone has better things to do than to "Pin The Tail On The Pod" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God damn.. what are you on! 6.53am hmmm... lols!

But thats true, hopefully this will be a win for the Car Enthusiasts!

Secondly, less defects.. = less revenue..

Now they could turn around and say, we're not cutting anything anymore, so we're gonna' jack up the defect quota this year

Could work either way, but i really think the trimming is gonna' effect the amount of "manpower" available for useless traffic offences.

An SAU NSW V-P propositioning a registered pharmacist for some Codeine Phos without a prescription? Wow!

I haven't had as good an offer since receiving vows in front of the altar!

Tell you what Connie, a little birdie told me that my two pods are impregnated with the stuff.

Now if I turn my back, I'll accept a buck a minute whilst you suck it out. That means you have 20 minutes starting ....

starting......

starting......

NOW !!!

Salvo Is At Hand!!!

Awww man I missed it.. and I do have a script.. or had a script.. I'm on like my last 1 - 2 tablets..

[jay1]

hehe this is great

[GTR-N1]

Nup, it PAINS me to say that I cannot and will not dispense those analgesic tablets for you.

You might be suffering greatly after those final 2 tablets are finished and it PAINS me to watch animals suffer, but...

I have important work here, writing a submission to Chief Superintendant Andrew Scippione on how to trim $28M off his budget by

i) not wasting fuel sending Pairs of Plods to Maccas and KKs in the dead of night

ii) not lurking around in unmarked cars on traffic matters when they could be used for real crime

iii) not spending heaps of time looking under bonnets

iv) spending more time helping little old ladies cross the road

v) allocating more push-bikes for pursuit purposes

vi) bringing back Morris Cooper Ss from mothballs so that two overweight Plods can lose weight on daytime stake-outs in the summer sun

vii) cancelling all stress-leave so that greater Plod Presence is around to stake-out all St George ATMs and finally...

viii) fleet-purchasing Skylines from SAU to frighten EVOs and STIs off the streets. What a rabble they are !!!!

funniest thread I've read all night. I keep forgetting my loooooow ramps though, can I use the scissor jack for an emergency lift when my bro whips out his camera to photograph my ride? Once I went on myspace by accident and I heard it's all about the angles.

hehe... Yes that's right. Alfred Hitchcock was a master at it.

And in the film Dead Poet's Society, the English teacher played by Robin Williams got all the kids to stand up on their desks to see the whole world from a different angle.

If Mr Skippyonly could see things from a different angle, and also trim his budget, he could tow Facsimile Police Cars out onto straight stretches of highway, so that from a distance, they look like real ones. Even the fatigued driver suddenly wakes up & looks at his speedo. It's been done in some parts of Japan and it can save lives at low cost.

Dont worry. It has been suggested. Until some clown decided it would be smart for drive through the fake police car cutout as a joke. It was then considered too dangerous in case they tried it on a real car by accident.
