Hi all.
I have received a traffic infringement notice from Queensland police for "failing to stop at a stop sign". I believe this is one of those technicality things where the wheels did not come to a complete stop. I can't confirm as my attention was on what traffic was doing at the intersection and my safety and the safety of others rather than the rotational speed of the tyres.
I realize this has nothing to do with safety and it is about how much the road bandits can get from the public in a day.
Is there something I can do to fight this? I was just going to pay it but I am annoyed that this cycle of rewarding the criminals in uniform for poor behavior continues if we are just complacent with this.
They should be out catching real criminals rather than harassing the general public being a public nuisance.
I have a very low opinion of police because they are very quick to give people these fines yet, the two separate occasions that I have had attempted break-ins and theft of property, it has been a real fight to get them to do anything. And in one case, I had to recover the stolen property myself and they felt it necessary to tell me that I would face prosecution if I recover the item myself.
However I realised that given they were too lazy to do their job they are unlikely to prosecute me for recovering my property and if they did I would take it directly to the media. I am sure there are good police but unfortunately the crooked ones ruin it for the others.
