Apartheid, NZ:

Maori caught driving without a licence in south Auckland are being offered support instead of a $400 fine.
..The leaked documents said Maori drivers caught at the wheel without a licence or in breach of their conditions were to be referred for training and not given a ticket.
Counties Manukau police “guidelines” leaked to TVNZ have revealed the policy, which police said they have been enforcing since last year.
Police said the policy was aimed at reducing Maori offending…’
So…I would have to pay a $400 fine if caught driving without a licence, because I’m white.
Racist, much?
UPDATE:
‘Race-based police policy to be changed
The Police Commissioner has assured the Government that there was no intention by police to run a raced-based policy over ticketing of unlicensed drivers.’
Of course not. And this has nothing to do with public outrage either….

    Let’s just make all crimes into non-crimes for Maori. It is a sure way to empty our prisons and it’ll save the tax payer a fortune.

    Did I hear an outcry from that stupid bitch Susan Devoy of the human rights crap,..no thought not

    silly talkback host on ZBtalkback last night had this up for discussion; and guess what, she was on the side of the police and kept quoting the treaty of Waitangi as her reasoning. Someone gave her a real earful of how crazy she was being, but of course, having the upper hand she just cut him short and laughed him off. Most respondents didn’t agree with her though. Talk about complete and utter racism!!

      And here I was thinking all this time there were two ethnic groups who signed the treaty – Maori and Pakeha

      How stupid of me

      • The Gantt Guy says:

        Actually Jamie, there’s no such thing as “Maori”. The Treaty is a contract between The Crown and the Chiefs of the various tribes. They were not “one people” until they signed The Treaty. Prior to that they were busy trying to wipe each other out.

    You got it, Whitey! The natives of New Zealand were going about their barbarian business of endless tribal warfare, human sacrifice, murder, incest, virgin raping, starvation and in general running amok! And into this South Seas Paradise comes the White Man with his rules about fair play and no ultra violence! So the poor natives turned to drink…and robbery…and looting…and incest…and the odd virgin sacrifice when they could get away with it.http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gif

  5. The sector of society that is the most over represented in the crime statistics is given a free pass to drive without a driver’s license by the NZ Police. I wonder what the Police would think if one of these unlicensed drivers they’d let go drove through a red light and killed or seriously injured a Police officer’s family. They’ll be extending the experiment to burglary next no doubt

      Excellent site, DMR! http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_good.gif
      And I agree with your comment 100%.

    • The Gantt Guy says:

      Hi DMR.

      Perhaps if “…The sector of society that is the most over represented in the crime statistics…” weren’t so prone to violence, thuggery, lawlessness and more prone to thrift, sobriety and productive living, they’d be less “…over represented in the crime statistics.”

      But there I go, being all racist again.

    Oh no ociffer,I don’t need a license,because even though I look white,I identify as Maori :mrgreen:

    • KG says:

      Too right! :mrgreen:
      There’s a lot of that about lately.

        • KG says:

          Excellent link, DonD. :)

            But seriously, we pale faces may be on to something good here! We simply declare ourselves Maori, African, Asian, American Indian…whatever…and how can “The Man” say we aren’t?

            I mean this week the oppressed white race of Planet Earth has been given an “escape clause” since it has been deemed Officially Politically Correct in the USA to self identify as being any sex, race, creed, color, or religion!

            I think I’m going to self I.D. as a Muslim one armed black lesbian trannyhttp://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_yahoo.gif

              If you do that start bidding for federal contracts.No,seriously with that line up you could rake in some serious money.

              Last bid guidelines chart I saw was
              female 10%
              native american 12%
              veteran 10%
              Those are bid allowances that allow your bid to be higher than your nearest compitition.So if you are a female,native American veteran you can bid up to 32% higher than your closest competitor and still get the contract award. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_wacko.gif
