Latest Speeding Ticket

A.C.A.B has been posted a fine for speeding past a Police speed camera, he was caught in a residential zone speeding 15kms over the zones limit of 50km. The fine was for $80.00 NZ dollars. This is the first such ticket for over 18 months. I intend to pay the fine immediately to not incur late penalty's.

Stationary speed cameras are a major revenue for the NZ Government. Millions of dollars are paid towards fines every year. Police who issue the tickets maintain it is done in turn to keep the speed of motorists down. Research has proved this is somewhat flawed if it did have a high reduction in getting drivers speed down why do motorists spend millions of dollars on these type of offences. Another observation or question of mine with the ever increasing cost of registering a motor vehicle in NZ with the government saying it is needed for providing roads, ACC etc why does the millions in fines address this.

Myself or A.C.A.B hopes of no further tickets for at least another 18 months.

RWC Lions Cup Scandal Bouncer Charged

Cup Scandal Bouncer Charged www.stuff.co.nz

Expand This footage of Mike Tindall with the mystery blonde was leaked by Jonathan Dixon who has since been dismissed from his security job. Photo / SuppliedA nightclub bouncer who launched a royal storm of headlines around English captain Mike Tindall and his new wife Zara Phillips was charged by police last night for his role in releasing camera footage of the player cavorting with a blonde woman.


Dixon who sold the footage to Splash News Agency a Celebrity gossip tattle merchant sheds questionable behavior from  newly married Tindall. Dixon who has also been sacked from his bouncer has voluntarily appeared at a Queenstown Police Station and left 45 minutes later. A Police spokesperson was reported to say "We can confirm that a man was spoken to in relation to a complaint about security footage made by the manager of a local bar. He came to the police station on a voluntary basis," .
 
There is a humorous refference to an NZ Herald article in which they interviewed his mother and she defends her sons morals and view points on infidelity. They have quoted her speaking about the Lions captain and his wife with "You expect them to have a little bit more respect for themselves, don't you? I think it's sad for her being on the other side of the world, men are men and they're pretty fickle, aren't they?"
 
Rugby and beer always go together hand in hand, an ale with a frothy head after a game of rugga will always be a right of passage for rugby players. Its a pity they let them selves down frequently whilst under the influence. The courts have had numerous assaults and also indescriminate behavior of rugby players behind their wives girlfriends or WAGS backs.
 
Spartar Security who managed the security at Altitude Bar the Queenstown Gin Joint where the CCTV footage was recorded has also lost its contract with Altitude Bar.

OFCANZ bust NZ Rebels again

The Rebels have been hit again. OFCANZ in conjunction with district police have mounted raids on members in Northland and Taranaki with every known Taranaki member arrested. This stuff link has a video of an announcement from Police here.


Names of those arrested and charged with offences so far

Nateesha Angelica Moke, 23, unemployed: conspired to supply ecstasy and methamphetamine. Remanded on bail to September 15.

Three members of an Australian chapter were among 10 people arrested by armed police raids in New Plymouth. Police then went on to say “Garry Anthony Dewar, 39, a network operator for New Plymouth-based electricity lines company Powerco, is the Taranaki Rebels' president.”





Also reported through various news websites or feeds a high ranking Rebel gang member in Northland was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm

The operation is the second crackdown on the gang. The first operation was in February and resulted in more than 30 arrests across five North Island districts. A police spokeswoman said they knew of about 70 patched members throughout the country.

One interesting report that came from TVNZ was”Police also revealed that a live snake was found during an earlier crackdown on the outlaw bikie gang in February. Police said a snake was located at an address in Feilding, and detectives believe the Rebels smuggled it into New Zealand.”TVNZ This highlights the international link with this gang a vast majority of New Zealand based gangs don’t have this element or connection. OFCANZ and police have also through the media have given a message to recruits or prospective members they pledge their zero tolerance and future undivided attention. After this latest series of busts they appear to be determined to do their best to stamp the Rebels out.

Smoking in Prisons

Here is an article written by Garth George for the NZHerald highlighting the smoking ban in prisons that came into effect on 1st July, article found here

What many don't understand is that the reason for the ban is the double bunking issue. Judith Collins and her team want to double bunk our prison population, hence instead of one cell being a prisoners quarters she is instigating doubling up meaning two prisoners will now share a cell. This will provide more beds for our ever increasing prison population. The ban on smoking has nothing to do with the health of our prison population, with prisoners double bunking or doubling up if one non smoking prisoner shares a cell with a smoker under our present smoking laws he can sue for second hand smoke contamination. With much publicity surrounding this ban not many in the media have identified this.

50 Years of Hell

Police and customs cracked down on the Hells Angels 50 year celebrations, they stopped 11 overseas members from entering NZ for the celebrations. The Auckland chapter was founded in 1961 and was the first charter outside of the USA.

Shop boss guilty of selling dope gear

NZ Herald article detailing the verdict of switched on gardener store prosecution in Whangarei. The couple managed to defend a few charges but the shop manger still secured convictions. The unnecessary interest from the NZ Police is in my opinion over zealous. Marijuana is a low profile crime it is in the opinion of this writer a victimless crime. The operation dubbed "lime" was a complete waste of Police resources as most of the stores still continue to trade today.

Confession of an ex undercover cop

Very interesting read this am keeping tabs on this to see how it turns out

Patrick Obrien ex NZ Police undercover agent

Headhunters Meth Bust

This catch by the NZ police was lucky as rumour from the street was the meth was in someones car who was randomly visiting the Headhunters Club house. The Police executed a warrant on a matter and found what was hidden in the car, they then charged everybody present even though it had nothing to do with most of who has been charged. Guilt by association is not right. The Truth newspaper reported the Dave Dunn recieved a severe beating  from other members while in jail awaiting bail. This was done because Dave the newly elected president of the View road chapter had allowed this mistake to happen.

Hells Angels Infiltration by Undercover NZ Police officer

 This is a prominent bust for the NZ Police they have never had an undercover operative this high in an outlaw motorcycle club before.

Operation Explorer was dubbed one of the "deepest gang infiltrations" in the history of New Zealand policing.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10711709


The Titans mtoorcycle club had one causing their demise years ago but that particular undercover officer never gained membership.
This will be devestating to the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, the Red Devils are a feeder club to the Hells Angels. The Angels have been rife with rumours for years that they wished for a south island prescence.
