There's 2 issues at hand:mikesbytes wrote:Back on topic
I'm getting the impression that all the protest has achieved nothing. Only a change in minister is going to give the opportunity to have the rules and penalties made reasonable
- the rules & penalties are not reasonable
- the NSW police have a clear & "force wide" bias against cyclists. They are not investing incidents with cyclists thoroughly, when motorists are committing crimes by providing deliberate misleading statements they fail to act, and they are not choosing to NOT enforce the laws brought in for cyclists safety.
Its the latter that's the bigger concern, change the rules all you want - but it makes no difference when they're not enforced.
Given the issue with Police is clearly institutional & widespread (multiple LACs, multiple officers) - its something that is most likely bordering on professional negligence & a class action.
Reading the mission statement of the NSW police force: http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/ ... 75/s6.html
Its hilarious & incredibly clear they are not just failing dismally - but making conscious decisions to NOT follow their mission statement.
