Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 If you can't pull into a perpendicular park straight then you shouldn't have a licence. Period. Its rush hour there in Dannivirke - the next vehicle to park there is probably a parallel parked stock truck............... We ain't all in Queen Street ae............. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kepes 231 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 apparently this cop has some problems. Saw him park and everything - there were no other cars parked that aren't there in the photo/he had the opportunity to park in one space. At New World Chafers Park too. I can assure you they weren't grocery shopping either. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides which, I don't blame them for not wanting to park right next to that people mover, (even though they're in a company car) - would you........??

M5V8 337 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 No-one spot the black Vank in the background? sweeet..... ps- i'd say the 5-0 do this so they dont have any issues in getting the shop lifter in the backseat in cuffs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah, they normally just park in front of the building on the yellow lines when we have issues with shoplifters. Sometimes it's a tedious effort... 3 hours the last one took before he finally admitted he actually did wrong even though there was at least a good five minutes of 1080p video footage of him stealing sh*t. Bundies gonna bund. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
