Have faith in our police force, NOT!!!!

[R33_Cam]

i just heard from the cops about my car-jacking that happened when someone stole my R33 and wrote it off!!

apparently they have enough evidence to charge one of the people involved, which i thought, yay about time, only to be told,"we cant charge him because he is under a witness protection act on another case" !!!!! that is f**ked, so what that virtually means is that this guy can can keep doing things wrong, cause he is "under protection", dont our laws suck! and this also means that i dont get back my no-claim bonus, i had 60%, cause you only get it back if they make a prosecution...

and the police wonder why people take the law into their own hands, when people can get away with things like that, no wonder our crime rate is stuffed!!!! :headshot:

wait a minute.. I'm sure if you explained all this, and got a formal letter from the police stating the situation then the insurance company would have to take this in board hey ?

it's worth an enquiry if it saves you a few $k on insurance.

that sucks still dude...

[JH32]

what!

that sucks big time!

he'll probably get done for it after he's finished in witness protection. he wouldn't get away with it for ever.

I don't think it is the police force so much as the farked up system that they work for. Who would like the idea of seeing decent people getting screwed over by scum? They are probably just as pissed as the next bloke (except the poor bugger having his ride boosted), however they have to deal with these types of dicks all day long.

Doesn't help you much R33_CAM, sounds like you are really getting the short end. Seems a bit bizzare though that if someone steals your car, you loose your no claim bonus, 'cause if you only have 3rd party fire and theft there is no 'no claim bonus' and you are still covered for replacement or damage as a result of theft.

Ultimately, the current legal system which seems to look after the minority and screw the average bloke - sucks

r33 cam... if that guy really cared about not having his identity revealed he wouldnt have had commited any crimes.. especially something major eg. stealing your car and crashing it.

this guy should reap the seeds he sows. if he does something stupid he should expect some repercusions.

there is no way in hell that i;d let something like this screw my no claim bonus. (i have a potty mouth) id be pissed.

[R33_Cam]

im not sure how all the insurance thing works, but i have fully comprehensive, and apparently they cant give your no claim back till someone is charged, dont ask me how that works, i thought u only lost it if it was your fault, and it certainly wasn't, but apparently they need someone to blame.

i probably should have worded the topic different, cause i know cops probably try to do the best they can in these cases, but the f**ked up law system holds them back.

[Hicks]

Sorry about your car man.

Don't know what i'd do if mine was stole.

[R33_Cam]

Hicks:

its all good now, it actually happened like 2 months ago, so insurance paid up and i have a new one, i just was posting about the stooopid law system

[puckish]

Steve you sound like a cop. Anyhow we all know the police union bumper sticker.

Defend your police force or defend your self.

I choose the later.....

im with steve, the guy will still have his day in court and the insurance companies will always be the only winners.

[R33_Cam]

john:

the impression i got off the cops was, or what the cop said to me was " he is under witness protection on another case so he cant be touched, so we have no alternative to close the case" ie: case closed no one gets charged, seems ridiculous to me.

[Steve]

Puckish, I am definately not a cop, you wouldn't get me doing that job for quids, there are much easier ways of making a living than copping abuse of dick heads all day every day. The only reason I say this is because I have had a couple of mates that were cops and guess what they were just average people but over a period of time they turned into very sinical ones - busting people, getting abused, spat on, rocks bottle etc thrown at them - they get to see the real crap that exists out there. And low and behold when they get the multiple offending underage ethnically diverse misunderstood gentleman or lady into court - the magistrate says 'mmm, this is only your 10th offence, you deserve another chance, we want to rehabilitate you - take a community order and if its too hard to fulfill, dont worry we wont really care'

I have also been on the wrong side of the law when I was 17, 18 and 19 - related to recreational smoking of the wrong type and the cops that busted me were almost appologetic, and I always got a lift home. I had a car stolen by an underage multiple offending ethnically diverse member of the community, the cop even told me how sorry he was that there wasn't much that the legal system was going to do 'just another warning' if I remember correctly.

Also I work away, sometimes for months, and not long ago my wife was being stalked by a guy (later found to be on warants in 3 states for multiple counts of rape and home invasion) - the cops were awesome, gave my wife counselling, and when this dick did show his hand, they were on the scene in minutes

R33 CAM: it really sucks that your ride got boosted - I understand where you are coming from, its happened to me only I wasn't insured (a lesson learnt there).

There are good cops and there are some that should have moved on years ago, or even never got onto the street in the first place (usually the young ones- no discresion). Any bad experience will stay in your memory sooner than a good one but this place would be unbearable if there weren't cops at all

Sorry for going on, just pushed the wrong button I 'spose, just my 0.02 worth (mmm, perhaps even got out 0.04:p )

[Steve]

Having said all the above, I am sure there are quite a few people out there that would have good reason to be pissed off with the behaviour of certain coppers out there - there are some real dicks about in a uniform, alot of times when the criminal element gets the upper hand it isn't he fault of the police force in general

[Gradenko]

R33_Cam, that sucks. Maybe you can get legal advice and press charges after he's done being a witness.

Any chance of finding out his name (and address)?
