    Police Crackdown (Under the Radar)

    Probably not a good idea to get caught speeding on your way out hunting, or have a domestic that the neighbours can hear.
    Reliable word is that if the police are involved and have any reason to suspect that you might not be "A Fit and Proper Person" can result in your FA being temporarily/permanently suspended, depending on the seriousness.
    Really got to look at the underlying theme in all of this.

    Kinda always been the case.

    I know of one young fella who applied for FAL and a check on him found he had 8(?) or so speeding tickets over 18 months.

    Told to try again in two years when (hopefully) his ticket count had dropped off.

    He said he was told if he was slack at following simple laws how could he be trusted to follow firearms laws.

    Not relay surprising with the quality of vetting that was going once the AO/Vetting staff were underfunded by the Government. The worst example being B Tarrant.

    I hate to think who else got a license while the plod were giving them away with the cereal boxes.

    I would make them go back and check through everyone given a license after 2015.

    All pretty ironic though isn't it.

    Funny how this article isn't parroted in Stuffed.

    Just the good stuff about what the Police are GOING to do.... Maybe?

    Well, start with "don't be a dickhead" and go from there.

    I had a chat with my Snr Sgt mate and the message was simple - too many dickheads, too many incidents, too many stupid deaths. Dickheads, being dickheads, with firearms. They've gotta go, for their own sake as well as everyone elses.

    If that were the case, then why arent Police getting together and complaining to the govt. I guess its just easier to give them guns.

    Funny thing is while that’s true for some of the organisation and it’s ok to slag of the whole organisation because of those ‘some’ it’s not ok for the organisation to slag off all gun owners because of ‘some’ of THEM!

    Yeah, that is correct.
    I did fail to mention that not all cops are scumbags. Just the pricks at the top mostly.
    But there are plenty of frontline rambo wannabe's out there, usually with an ego to match.

    I am just a hard done by civilian, who has lost respect for the police as a whole.
    In saying that, I personally know some cops, and they seem normal and ok.

    I just look at all the alcohol empties I stumble across in the bush, normally at the good vantage points too. Sure as shit they are not going out there to fuck spiders.
