Well if they stopped farking spending it on 11ty cop cars to defect innocent victims then they would have more to farken spend

LOL useless politically incorrect rant

[sydking]

haha they are in force alright!

pulling over cars in peak hour traffic along Victoria Rd this morning at West Ryde - indicating them to pull into the side street

It was weird - The officer kept picking up his traffic cone.... hiding behind the corner. Then running back out with his sign and cone - Dropping it then indicating which car he wanted to turn in.

It provided many laughs as i sat and watched for a while

Wasnt that deemed illegal after the guy got killed? Arent they meant to have fluro disco lights and gear on to be allowed to wave you in?

3 cop cars pulling over bus lane users on Victoria road last night near marsden road west bound

4 cop cars pull over idiots who fail to turn left into shaftsbury ave off vic road this morning east bound

line up for tickets to both events were 7-8 cars each.

Sucked in to them I say. Every day I see this get abused, regularly see the same plates do it too.

They need to be out there more often for these arsehats, their actions cause the very traffic they are trying to skip around.

in the Midas they put an unmarked blue commonwhore who watches the people not turning left, radio's to the other guy who then pull's them in to the "RBT" station. Seen it 2-3 times in the last 2 years.

Other times he'll chase them himself, almost saw the copper die one day when he "forgot" to put his lights on and ran the red.

It's setup as an RBT station. I was lead to believe the law you thinking about is for radar usage. ( I could be spectacularly wrong though )

The HWP at Valley Heights this morning was lying in wait at the side of the BP in a No Stopping zone.

Daleo's wife has a story to tell about this extraordinary behaviour.

Ahh i turn off Shaftsbury onto Viccy - Didn't even notice him haha

More often then not i will just ride the pushy to work - I can cruise West Ryde to Gladesville in 15- 20 min depending on pedestrian traffic lights ( no way in will i ever ride on the road, they can give me all the fines they want)

Bad traffic is a 30min mind numbing experience that i cant comprehend

Traffic rant end/

[ianjb]

It takes me 1h 20min to do the 27km trip to work / home

I have no option unless I do a 2 train & 2 bus trip, or a 3 bus trip.

Daleo's wife has a story to tell about this extraordinary behaviour.

True Terry; the Police guidelines regarding speed enforcement clearly state that their vehicle MUST be positioned ON the roadway where they are doing enforcement, yet repeatedly they hide their vehicles in side streets to avoid line of sight, and potential loss of revenue due to people seeing them, noticing they are speeding and slowing; thus reducing revenue. They also sit in the turning lanes on the centre island through Blaxland shops on GWH.

Rather ironically the guidelines were introduced after many public complaints about questionable behaviour, and an emerging cynicism about the true motives of speed enforcement.

They regularly park illegally (within 3 metres of an intersection and blocking the footpath) on a street corner near our house. It actually looks like they are getting ready to pull out onto the GWH, but they never do.

It shits me to tears, because if you did happen go around them, and they were in a mood; they could easily fine you.

My partner pulled up behind them and waited with her blinker on (with the officer waving her around the HWP car), until the officer actually got out and came back to her car. The officer told her to move on, and she actually told him he was parked illegally, unsafely & was blocking the intersection.

He got back in his car & left.

Later that week she was on foot with our young son, and there he was again; same guy, blocking the footpath, so she knocked on his window and asked him if he thought it was safe or legal to park so close to the street corner, and completely block the footpath to a mother with a small child.

Asked if he thought it was a good example to set to a young boy? I think the penny dropped and he realised who she was and moved on yet again.

Every time they are sitting there, she pulls up behind them; every time they leave. She thinks it's hilarious.

NO FARKIN' WAY am I gonna try it.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Wow that is epic

Same; my commute would take 2.5 hours each way on public transport, versus 50- 70 min by car.

Also, it would cost $20 p/w more in train & bus tickets than driving.

No brainer.

Cant stand people on public transport so i drive everywhere BUT we is country folk up here, unlike you Sydney siders with your million cars in one street!

[PN-Mad]

Balls of billet steel, Dale, that is awesome! She is a champ.

Rules are rules. Obviously the pressure on officers filling quotas is getting harder.

[ianjb]

Message of the day. Mess with dale before you mess with is wife!

I applaud her actions

[Daleo]

Yep; the only farts I want to smell on my way to work are my own.
