Respect is not the issue. They are people doing a difficult job under trying circumstances, most of the time. But like everyone they tend to find ingenious ways of using what they are given. Give a Brummie (someone from Birmingham) two hammers and he can remove a tightened nut. The nut will be useless and there's every chance the hammers will be f*cked too. It's the same with police and laws.

Amen Martin. That said, I have a ton of respect for the cops. They are not the problem. It's the damn politicians who think regulation is the answer to everything. Stop voting for them. They'll go away then.

Hey Reviled,<br />
Whenever the police get new powers you can bet your life they will find new and interesting ways to use them, never as intended. Stop and Search being a good example. I've also yet to hear a Policeman say 'No, we're fine, we don't need any more powers thank you'. This law's just not necessary, so if we have the chance to stop them taking the power, we should.

TBH, its pretty much allready like that everywhere in Auckland, including all of the beaches, but generally if youre just having a picnic with your wife with a bottle of wine or a couple of beers no one is gonna worry about it, sure they <u>could</u> if they wanted to be pricks about it, but I think generally the rule is in place to stop people loitering and getting absolutely smashed in the streets and outside shops etc...
