spotlight goes on two coppers circle my car, check it over inform me I was speeding ask me if I had been drinking, I said ''NO'' then they bagged me. Gave me ticket for $238 then they went on their merry way if this is not revenue raising I dont now what is. A few times over the years we've needed police presence in our street late at night and the standard answer is that every patrol car is busy and 1 will be there later on BUT NEVER ARRIVES:swear::arsch::horse:
I don't know whether to be outraged or philosophical about this ...
A few years ago they got me for the serious crime of doing 76 in a 70 zone.. scene of crime, just got of the freeway (100)k 20 seconds later, downhill gradually slowing down I got nabbed by a brilliantly strategically placed camera at the bottom of a dip in the road.
Fine $130 for that serious crime.
I was comforted somewhat since a Senior Sargeant got me in that case. no doubt their top man for such a demanding task?
Since then of course I have been a good boy, always watching the speedometer until making sure I don't exceed .....
Today another $138 fine ... scene of crime some street I don't even remember, apparently I was doing ... wait for it .... 56 in a 50 zone ?
Now I don't truly remember seeing any 50k sign .. needless to say a Senior Sergeant again, these guys probably get promoted based on their zeal and revenue they generate from criminals like me.
Of course this is NOT REVENUE raising but to teach me a lesson on driving at excessive and dangerous speeds (56k ?)
Serves me right

Not probably for me - definately is, betwen petrol, rego, insurance & maintenance. Living inner city definately helps.Probly cheaper to not own a car and just catch taxis now a days
