True. That must make it difficult to judge the weights of loads... Are weights and measures boys a bit anal? Can you shovel some out on to the side of the road if you are a few kg over?
Are you a cop? Are you proud of this? Can anyone justify this behaviour?

So what happens if you are over weight?

The weights and measures boys are actually serving West Australian Police Officers Coll with guns haven't seen them with tasers but have cuffs and they're not averse to cuffing truck drivers to the side of there truck . this is done because there van is full of equipment .
So its be polite or stand in the sun on the side of the road cuffed to your truck.

Sometimes I wonder if I should give up my way of life. My week in week out life of hookers and peephow girls and get a real job... Then I think that a real job might mean having to deal with the likes of the weights and measures boys.

Then you can explain little hiccups like this to your boss.
Another truck rollover in Geraldton on Monday has turned the spotlight on increased trucking in and around the city.
The Patience bulk-haulage road train, carrying iron ore from Sinosteel’s Koolanooka mine and bound for Geraldton Port, tipped over on the corner of Brand Hwy and Rudds Gully Rd.
The number of recent truck accidents raises the issue of road sharing between heavy haulage operators and passenger vehicles.
With mining projects in the north ramping up and the Oakajee port and rail network delayed, some experts have predicted there could be a road train every 12 minutes travelling through Geraldton by 2012.
Mid West-Gascoyne District Police Inspector Peter Foley said WA police has conducted a number of heavy haulage operations to ensure trucks are operating within transport guidelines.
“We have obviously had a couple of bad accidents which are still under investigation and we have seen how dangerous these loads can be,” he said.

That might just be bad driving rather than being overloaded. I was a truck driver once only HR though. Being a truckie a thankless task really. Might just stick to my hookers and blow.

Wow Diamond Dog - the cameraman has revealed the Policeman (whom you refer to as Indian/Middle Eastern) has a badge name “FAIRFIELD LAC 266″.
Here's the cameraman's comments in full - "The officer “FAIRFIELD LAC 266″ then grabbed him by the back of the neck and slammed his head into the stone pavement, as he tried to get up he was then punched multiple times in the head, leaving blood all over the pavement. The crowd of people overlooking screaming at the officer to stop.
So much for that theory then?

Contrarian why are you so touchy about this guy? I think the consensus amongst the members on this forum is that the cop was justified so the origional question asked at the beginning of this thread has been answered. I support the Police fully because they have a difficult job to do and put their lives at risk everyday to protect people like us.
C
Contrarian
You're right Smoggy. The cops should be poofter bashers, people who misbehave should get walloped and no one should film it. After all they have a difficult job and put their lives at risk every day. Not touchy about the guy at all - just am not in favour of police brutality and misbehaviour.
And of course the consensus makes it right :BangHead: And stereotypical racist comments about ethnicity should be supported.
Clearly.

Ahoy, in today society everyone walks around with a camera, so the police have a tougher job today than ever before, in today society we all not just the police will be judged by video. My personal view, allow the Police greater power.
The 1992 Los Angeles riots, also known as the Rodney King Riots, the South Central Riots, were a race riot and subsequent looting and civil disturbance that occurred in Los Angeles, California in 1992 following a police brutality incident. It was among the largest riots in US history.
The riot was first started in South Los Angeles and then eventually spread out into other areas over a six-day period within the Los Angeles metropolitan area in California during April in 1992. The riots started on April 29 after a trial jury acquitted four Los Angeles Police Department officers of assault and use of excessive force. The mostly white officers were videotaped beating an African-American named Rodney King following a high-speed police pursuit. Thousands of people throughout the metropolitan area in Los Angeles rioted over six days following the announcement of the verdict.[1]
Widespread looting, assault, arson and murder occurred during the riots, and estimates of property damages topped one billion dollars. The rioting ended after soldiers from the California Army National Guard, along with U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton were called in to stop the rioting after the local police could not handle the situation. In total, 53 people were killed during the riots and over two thousand people were injured.[2][3]
After the riots subsided significant actions were undertaken in the Los Angeles Police Department including the retrial of the police officers involved, increasing minority officers in the police department, analyzing excessive force, resignation of the police chief, loss of support for the Mayor of Los Angeles, and analyzing the general political and economic atmosphere that contributed to the riots.

Pirate, you say "allow the police greater power". To do what? Don't they have enough already?
If not for those riots, or that Mardi Gras bashing being filmed, there'd be far less changes. The real issues are integrity, accountability and fairness.

Contrarian I just dont think that being homosexual and putting on a pair of wings gives you licence to throw punches or kick a Police Officer in the head. Did the Police Officer use reasonable force? I cant answer that question maybe he did maybe not. Anyway Contrarian why do you keep calling homosexuals "poofters" as that surely is an offensive term for members of our gay community.
Perhaps we should be grateful that we live in Australia where we have the freedom to challenge the police and government without fear. Having said that maybe you cant challenge the federal government if you are a newspaper and question their spin but thats another story.

Yes col he was found at he bottom of a swimming pool It was later found he had cocaine weed and booze in his system
Not that any of that should take away from what the LA cops did to him originally
He was even a reality TV star Celebrity Rehab and one called Sober I think

Er Smoggy, did you make it past year 8? Irony really escapes you doesn't it? Whoosh!
Clearly, there's a sense of double entendre missing somewhere with you.
Was it Marcus Aurelius or Julius Caeser who said; "The object in life is not to be on the side of the Majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the Insane."

I agree with happy2 you should start your own thread with Colzilla and leave this debate to Peter Van Onselen and myself to sort out.
Contrarian you have yet again made a wrong assumption. I am in fact university educated and hold a Masters Degree from a reputable University in the United Kingdom. Politically I am right of centre but clearly you are a Greens supporter. I just knew there was one in WA somewhere and I have found you. I reckon green on the outside red on the inside so that makes you a melon in factional terms.
Quod erat demonstrandum or just Q.E.D to you Contrarian.
