Why Dont I Get Busted???

I've looked for the ratio of police to the public citizen and the ratios vary .in Brisbane queenslands largest city from the copper I spoke to said its around 1police officer to approximately 1100 people

Peter,
I am surprised by this based upon what I have read on this forum from my mates down under. It seemed to me there were coppers all over the place in OZ.
Over here we have varying copper to population ratios. Seattle is 2.2 cops per 1000 citizens - Los Angeles is 2.6, New York is 4.2 and Washington DC is 6.6!!!
Seems like more cops equal more crime - heh heh heh Perhaps letting us folks all truly be free, yet be responsible, carry guns and work out our own problems might be the way to go.
I never agreed with that line Canberra used about cops making things worse - BUT - perhaps I need to rethink that.

That's the way to do it. If all the "gang" members carried a letter of resignation, and an acceptance letter, with them then they can't be convicted of "gang" crimes.

The legislation is retrospective....????? Like so much other legislation.... Dunno.....but it'd be worth a small wager....

It might work for a cop with a brain ,but one of the higher ranking cops was saying after the banditoes had handed there patches in that he was still going to give them grief .WTF ?

Just to put that in context, I came across the quote at the time a member on here had been in a stack. He'd misjudged a corner and hit the gravel, finished up in a ditch. While he was lying there waiting on the ambulance a cop wrote him a ticket for riding on the road shoulder. Somehow the quote seemed apt, if a bit flippant. It's also completely wrong too - but in my experience, only sometimes.

Just as in any other select group, the percentage of ass holes is fairly consistent. Nothing worse that a badge heavy cop with no common sense.
