It's a good strategy.... that way they can accept more bribes per car.

Bwha ha ha. My mate got stopped the other day in Jossie, they wanted a couple cans of coke as a bribe.

The past couple of morning I've seen an interesting speed trap. Traveling east on John Adamson in Montgomery Park there's a guy with a camera under a tree and behind him a satelite dish pointing further away from him. Half a block away there is another satelite dish pointing towards the 1st one. This is at an intersection so that cars can be pulls off without disrupting the traffic. Does this now mean that they can pull you off as soon as they have caught you on camera?

I got stopped once and the Cop wanted to take my 2 year old daughters sweets

So in future keep a tuck box in the car, what would Bheki Cele say? Stomach in, Chest out:lol:

That sounds almost like the speed camera's in the UK where instead of just trapping you at one spot, they monitor your speed between two points.

Is there a law that says you must carry your ID if you are a passenger? What if you tell the cop you can't remember your ID number?

They want to check for tax dodgers, illegal immigrants, if you may have a warrant. Pretty much everything. If you dont have your id they will take finger prints for processing I cant see how it would work, its seems a massive infringement on ones human rights

...and search them for weapons and drugs.Wonder where they are getting the search warrants from?

It was the same a few years back with Drinking and driving.They made hundreds of arrests and siezed the cars but then the law suites started and....the cars were returned and they had to pay for damages and there were very few court convictions.The State paid out huge amounts in illegal arrest cases to.

 

They are always on show just before the Christmas holidays.

Hmm, I havent heard of it, but they cant just infringe on your rights without this been passed through government and been gazetted, has this happened?, cos I havent heard about it.

 

No Chris-65 as far as I know theres no law that says a passenger has to carry their ID book, in fact theirs no law that says a driver has to carry his ID book, just his / her license.

 

Maybe its all something they plan to do in the future.?

 

As I have said before, this country is turning into a nanny state, the state is encroaching more and more into the average civilians life, I for one am not too fond of it.
