Skarclaw Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 nah I was thinking more along the lines of papping Micheal Macintye with a helicopter-mounted camera! Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 That was hilarious. You just couldn't make it up. Well, hilarious not quite the right word but you get what I mean. Astounding I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 At best its *fruitcage* *suitcase* banter aka shitchat at worst its a bit creepy. Link to post Share on other sites

Cannonfodder80 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 nah I was thinking more along the lines of popping Micheal Macintye with a helicopter-mounted 20mm cannon Fixed that for you Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Probably biased, but I don't see the issue with the Michael McIntyre thing. He's in public, they were up anyway (seriously doubt they lifted just to get a photo of him...) and they tweeted it to try and engage with the public. Why not? Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Boring too, have seen that! The chatter is though that as it wasn't on an op, the camera isn't a surveillance camera, and basically no different to a cop on foot using his phone for the same thing and posting it to the force twitter account. Edit, smelling pistake Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 There's a few small town police departments in the U.S. and Australia that get people engaged with the public with hilarious posts! Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Should a cop even be doing that though? Whilst they're focused on papping some celebrity on their phone, their attention isn't on policing. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 If they are just flying about without having a task, then why not use the camera? My guess is they were looking at the public and stumbled across him. As for attention not on policing, no different to me being on foot or in a car, no job come in so I just bimble around people-watching Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore1-6 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I have been away for two weeks and the department has basically gone feral.I'm sure I had to chase a possum out of the buidling this morning, they're not even native to this country. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Why is it everyone selling WE M4s has to have modded it in some way? I don't want fancy rails or stocks, just a vanilla M4A1 RIS/CQB (as a mate has a spare 416 upper/RIS and wants a M4 upper/KAC RIS as a straight up swap) and I want to build it with my parts. Not that I can afford one right now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I find this as well. It really surprises me how so many people build civilian M4s, rather than military styles Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's the in thing though. All this keymod stuff, long rails like wot Costa uses innit. No doubt we'll swing back to milspec and SOPMOD Block II e.t.c. soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Kinda had the day ruined at War & Peace yesterday after a German man drove a motorbike into my girlfriend around the market stalls. No apology, more concerned that her drink had gone on his trousers, and walked off with the bike. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Seriously? Did you not grip him? Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 To be honest I was more concerned if she was okay, she's just recovered from having her ankle near enough reconstructed, and fell over on that side. When is got my wits about me I followed the guy, got plenty of incriminating pics of him, and the stall that lent him the bike to try, and will be taking it further if there's anything to be made of it, on the recommendation of 2 stall owners who watched it happen. Only after I'd spoken to the stall did I discover there's a rule on no moving vehicles in that area. Up until then I thought it was just a '*suitcase* happens' scenario rather than negligence Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thing is, it will he a civil matter I'm guessing if you persue it far. Maybe best you can get is getting him kicked off site if you or the Mrs can be bothered? I wouldn't suggest catching him on his own and giving him a few slaps. Not at all. Honest.

Got Wood? Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm just asking advice from the people in the know at this stage. One of the exhibitors, lent the bike to this guy for him to test drive to see if he wanted to buy it. In a crowded, strictly no vehicle area of the show Link to post Share on other sites
