Double Standards


Recommended Posts

ok bit of a long story but Im coming home from a meet tnite and an Octavia VRS police car comes flying past me. I was doing 80 he was doing at least a tonne. No blue lights on. Thought hey ho just a bit quik. Carry on and a red focus, new shape KU03 *** comes fyling past me at least 120mph minimum shortly followed by an Octavia VRS police car again. Thought oh dear, u just got urself a fine son. We we get into a 60mph zone and the focus slows down as does the Octavia. Focus comes off the dual and along anutha dual where it boots it. Im now thinking dude that aint clever with the po behind u. Then it turns into the police station as does the Octavia and an 03 plate golf. Now Im pretty sure if I was doing 120 I wudda got tucked and Im pretty sure that Police cant go that speed without blues and twos on aswell. Surely that aint rite!!

Speaking to a traffic cop a few weeks back and he said that at around 3am on the local bypass (if they're not on a job) they'll 'test' their speedos b on the mile marker by seeing how quick thay can get through it, sometimes have a race.

Said he topped 122mph a few weeks back.

But yes, the Police have to abide by the same laws we do unless on an emergency.

When I was at court after getting a telling off from the magistrates etc my barrister said to me after 'don't feel so bad... they speed all the time and the police that come in here, it's just the way things are'... like that comment was supposed to make me feel better??!!

Im not having a pop at the law as such but the speed they were going at was proposturous! If that was me doing the speed I would only done for dangerous driving and excessive speeding which I think it a ban for each of those!! If they had there lights and sirens going then fair enough but they didnt.

F*ck em all i say. Every copper needs a good beating. Waste of space. Now if we was to swap police forces with the Americans or better still the Koreans then i would have some respect for them. I got a lot of hatred for our police enforcement. I got banged up in HongKong for a while, they scared the phlem out of me. That deserves respect. :)

Just my opinion of cource and not meant to offend any police personnel on the forum. If you want to press charges pm me and i will give you my address ;) :@

^ Very brave......Prehaps you could "have a go" see how i shape up compared to "Hong Kong police" next time were at a show?, i like watching peoples phlegm (correctly spelt).......................anyway

Kerry if they werent "going" somewhere, then the speed isnt allowed, not every urgent call is blue lights, the police driver has to justify their own actions, they may have been going to an incident in the police cells? or something else was going down? who knows, not making excuses but thats why so many judgments are made about the police, because noone knows what they get upto a lot of the time, for operational and data protection reasons, the "public" often make their own colclusions, or............they could have just been racing to go home.............hey were all human!!!

i thought the whole point of the blue lights was make other road users aware of emergency vehicles that may be travelling at high speed, through red lights, wrong side of the road, or any other fashion that may be unexpected....surely the reason for excessive speed is irrelevent???

if it was ok to drive fast etc. without blue lights, then really, why have them?

if they were really on police business why not light up and protect other motorists/pedestrians?

Lol it cracks me up reading the same shit on here about the force! Why do people have such a problem with police??? Bet none of the whingers have a problem with the police next time you look out your window and see chavs making off with your motor!!

There's an example of double standards!!!!

Or maybe i'm just being biased :)

Oh and Nick are you coming to RR on sunday mate?
