pist off at coppers

If there's a copper reading this, good.

Last night in Sydney (Parra) I went to work.

I work 10pm~6am. It was shite weather here last night.
When I was going along James Ruse around 2115 it was
raining steady but not heavy. I'm doing limits.

After the lights at the bowlo heading north, caught behind
a tanker, I pull to the middle lane in front of a paddy
wagon. I indicated and was doing legal or thereabouts
speeds (there's a camera there). I indicated I was taking
the off option of the middle lane (which is more than most
cagers I encounter, most nights - on dry nighs I'll rip off in
front).

I mean, fair fkn go. I only have a bike to get around on ok.

I'm foggin', but doing everything by the book. They're behind
me at the lights and I feel they're sweating me to speed up on
Victoria Road. I didn't.

Seem 'em camped down below near the Uni turnoff too often,
to do that. Play by the rules right.

They're still there. A certain car shape is a certain car shape.

I turn right into the industrial "badlands" of Rydalmere. They
follow. It's now seriously pssing down.

Just fine. I'm ok with my bike, and my skills.

I'm doing 50-ish, per the limit, dodging a cage exiting the knock
shop on the left. He stops entering the road in front of me 'cause
he sees the paddy wagon (or so I reckon). No cops, he was gonna
drop in, going by the dip in his front at the last moment.

Some 500 metres up the road I indicated left, then another 800
metres into my place of employ. I gave plenty of legal indicating
here as well. I swiped the outdoor reader for the secure garage.

This paddy wagon stopped to watch me.

What happened next is our underground secure work carpark opened
and I entered.

They then, ripped off.

Hey CNTS, you reckon i don't have enough sht to deal with on the
roads in the fkn wet, surrounded by FKN idiots you gotta ride me
into work?

I wish to fk they'd have pulled me over for any trumped up reason, 'cause
I'da happily spent a night in the watchhouse venting my FKN spleen on
them, I reckon.

Changed clobber at work, but it didn't change my mood.

If a copper out my way is reading this, maybe pass the following
suggestion on.

If a person on a bike is doing everything relatively right; is dressed
approapriately for the conditions and is not trying to leave you behind
at the first opportunity, why tf hassle 'em.; even inadvertently?

Back tf off, and earn your money elsewhere, on shite weather nights
like that. Follow the drunks who exploit your reluctance to pull 'em
over on nights where it's pssin' down.

If I had a car, or a choice, do they really think I'd be out there, freezin'
m' tits off; wiping my visor and wonderin' whether the dhead in front
of me has forgotten to indicate?

Sorry.. still cranky...

Sorry - had to let this out.

I would have hated to read you rant if they actually booked you for
something..

you just cant please some people :-/

lemme see - you're not breaking any rules and they don't pull you over for
anything (sometimes they pull you over just to make sure you get wet-but
only if you were being a dickhead).

You sure you're not just paranoid? or are they _really_ out to get you.

 

When the bacon was behind me, I'd just pull over and let them ****
off... then go again on my merry way.

 

Yeah, i do the same. It either forces them to "random" breath test
you or move on to annoy someone else...

 

<putting on Pollyanna hat>
Maybe they were actually being nice, making sure you got where you were
going safely in that foul weather - as you said in your original post, it
was probably their presence that stopped the dickhead in the car cutting you
off!

betty, in devil's advocate gear
(or full of shite, take your pick <grin>)

 

Lodge a stalking complaint!

Better yet, carry a bag of dog poo and throw it at every wagon you see
... eventually it just might work

 

You haven't been spanked in a long time, have you Betty?

Hey fuckwit.

Next time how about wasting my time with something containing a little more
substance.
Uptight over a non-incident? Get over yourself!

Was it late....or is it only me who read it as a slurred Suuurrrrrllleey??

Maybe in the light of day it is more obvious??
