T-R-D

should have gott fined for using phone near fuel bowser

crpstra

You should see what they do for a single pegger in a commodore if you think this is bad !

Draven

Who was using a phone??? Pretty sure the rider had a go pro or something

mark1414

Very poor quality for a go pro. Almost certainly a phone.

fearlesss

You can it's a phone cause no one in their right mind would ever shoot something vertical on purpose.

Unless you're using a samsung, cumbersome peices of shit that they are

fearlesss

Are you serious ? I put off going to a smart phone for years and years before finally giving in to getting a Samsung SII a year ago. I really can't fault it. We've got about 10 samsung 3's and 8 S4's at work and never had a problem with a single one.. well other than tech's smashing their screens.

Back on topic though. This is a complete joke. I still can't believe these new laws got passed in. I bet if you opened the doors to the federal/state what ever governing body that implemented this you would find monkeys using typewriters..

It actually makes me want to get a Harley a leather vest and drive around getting pulled over.. At least that way I'll get some gratification from my tax money by becoming a youtube sensation.

I've got a galaxy s3 and it really is the most awkward thing to operate one handed. I dont have small hands, but certainly dont have hulk fists either and find the sizing to be a huge annoyance with it. Will definitely be going back to apple for the next phone. They werent perfect, but for someone who just wants a phone to perform basic functions and apps, they have it all over samsung for ergonomics and ease of use.

OT: Agree, part of me has always wanted a Harley, even moreso now just as a bit of a 'fcuk you' statement

-Harry-

Oh shit he's got a camera phone! Call for back-up, now!

The laws are ridiculous etc definitely agree with that. But I thought the cops did pretty good considering the dude was acting like a wanker, very professional

truffles

I'd be acting like a wanker if I'd been pulled over 20+ times for essentially nothing, then on this particular instance had the entire Beenleigh police station cleared to come out.

Even though he was being a smartarse, I've seen police treated much, much worse.

T-R-D

i don't see the problem they are doing the job they are told to do, everyones been told if you ride your bike with your colours on or something that looks outlaw bikie related you will be pulled up. i get it you wanna look cool with your vest on but dont cry when you get pulled up for having it on

Draven

Yeah and they need 7 cops for one guy...

T-R-D

why not nothing better to do..... good show of force

fearlesss

I know your not supposed to feed the trolls but... it's Friday !

If you can't see a problem with the fact there is a law in the first place saying you can't wear a vest.. then your a lot dumber than you look.

The laws are a joke, not a single good thing is going to come from this ever..
- It's a waste of money
- It's giving more power to the few retarded power hungry cops
- You're punishing an entire community because there is a small number of them who are doing the wrong thing
- The ones actually are doing the crime probably are laughing their arses off.

How about instead of putting people in jail for wearing clothes and riding with their friends. Start working in the drugs and violence.. Crack down on that.

For all the idiots saying oh they are just doing their job, it's the law.. blah blah etc.

How would you feel if you were banned from having any car club stickers on your cars, and banned from cruises because 1 out of the thousand car clubs across Australia were involved in illegal activities... That's how stupid these laws are.

Okay, I think you nailed it Fearless, to have a law to identify a "group" in society and then have a targeted campaign against them is just unethical to start off with and just unconstitutional as well as just bloody unAustralian.

I think we could have learnt something from Nazi germany and all the persecution throughout history

fearlesss

What worries me is how easily laws like these any many many other ones are created and enforced.

.Tim.

Welcome to backwater politics with no upper house to control it

alpharx7

that's what happens with politics.

labour in power, wasting money / failed queensland health care payroll / wouldn't hold anyone to account.

voter backlash against their ineptness and not holding anyone to account

now we have this little peacock in power, his cockiness as big as his ego. (xxxxgold said this would happen)

it's funny how he says he doesn't like the law, that it will be reviewed in 3 years / due process. it'll be out before that if civil liberationist's have their way.

sucra

who's to say he'll still be in power in 3 years?

Draven

I hope this bullshit stays in QLD and doesnt filter south!!!

fearlesss

Well this dipshit is in charge of the whole country so I wouldn't hold your breath
