No, they don't seem to share our humour.
I got pulled over just as I left my driveway and started putting my seatbelt on, I asked the officer if they'd solved the Beaumont case to which he found my tyres needed attention too.
It did teach me to fasten my seatbelt before driving though.

I got pulled over years ago and defected for apparently having a front bald tyre (that's all the prick could "find" wrong).
Had the tyre replaced the next day then went straight down to the cop shop to get the sticker removed. In my teenage naivety, I mentioned to the officer at the station after he removed the defect sticker that the issuing copper was a bit of a prick and rather ignorant.
To my surprise, he agreed that he was ignorant, then continued with "He should've picked up that one of your rear tyres is also unroadworthy".
He then himself whacked a defect sticker on my car.
"Might see you back here tomorrow" he said and walked back inside.

I was pulled over by a cop a few years ago for having my arm out the window while driving
my arm was rested on top of where the window slot is and it was fully down.

I was nice and pie to him even tho I thought this was a **** joke.

he let me off for a warning because of my attitude,

but I still think it was a poxy excuse to try and fine me.

I've successfully had a fine for not wearing a seat belt over turned. Fortunately a friend who is above Detective rank in the force was able to pick a nice little piece of information from the report.

While sitting at a set of lights I pulled the belt away from my chest as I was in a nicely ironed shirt, to avoid creasing beyond what would normally occur. An unmarked car sitting to the left of me at the intersection, he was on the road adjacent to the one I was on, radioed to a marked car he must have seen sitting some 4-5 cars behind me that I was not wearing my belt.

The traffic, including the unmarked car went across in front of me and I noticed the driver looking in my direction, by this time I had replaced the belt as it should be.

I move through the intersection and subsequently get pulled over and receive a ticket. At that point, I had no intention of paying it as I knew I had done little / nothing wrong. I went and challenged it and had 30 days to respond to the police.

A nicely worded letter noting the officer who completed the ticket did not actually witness the event was enough for the police prosecution division to ring me and ask me did I intend to take it back to court and fight it, well, yes I said.
The office said "Let's pretend this never happened and I'll make this all go away". "No problem", I said, "Thank you".

He parted with "Is the person who wrote this a lawyer mate or a copper?" ...."Neither", I said, "I'm just a clever cookie".....*chuckles* on the other end.

I have received one speeding fine and a fine for talking on my phone while driving.

The speeding fine was on Grand Junction Rd. I was 19 and had a serious case of the Hershey squirts, and I was trying in vain to find a bathroom before I got to my (now ex) girlfriend's place. I was doing 67kph in a 60 zone, and paid up the day I got the fine letter in the mail.

The latter fine was when I answered a phone call while driving on Lyons Rd, past the Holden Hill Police Station. ****, what was I thinking? I'm an idiot at times.

I talked my way out of a 57 in a 25kph zone once (though to be fair they did move the sign down in what I thought was a deliberate attempt to make the zone longer to catch people)

Also got away with a $0 fine for no rego, but that was a genuine mistake in my part. Still had to pay for victims of crime though.

On the flip side I also got pinged $360 for turning left 11 minutes too early.

Sounds like the cop was a dickhead too, though clearly didn't assault him. But it probably explains why it went to court.

When you grow into adult hood the police are, in many respects, like your parents. If they tell you to go and "stand over there and shut the **** up" you really should do as you're told.

Some smug prick with a roller and fat wallet is not excluded from this set of rules and respect.


So if a police officer tells you to shut up and go and rob that deli, do you do as your told? While I understand what your saying Booney, a officer also has to adhere to the law. In the voice recording. As a member of the public you always have a right to ask the question why to a officer, which he did and once the officer couldn't answer him to why he did as the officer had asked. The funny part is Booney when he was assaulted was when he was retrieving the keys for the officer, which he had told him was ok to do, so he was really doing as you say he should.

The injunction was put in place to cover the officer because of his poor record in dealing with people. If this evidence and the evidence of him lying under oath had been shown in court to the jury, there was no way a jury could of found him innocent.

Yep because that evidence is irrelevant and would have prejudiced them.

Copper was clearly a dick but also clearly didn't assault him.
