they did this thing whereby the speed devices were all... uncalibrated. or something. something like that.
so then people in the know would, upon receiving a speeding ticket, write a letter with legal firm letterhead saying that they were going to challenge it because the device was uncalibrated (so the police would need to supply evidence they checked it for calibration -- which they didn't / hadn't / would never do).
it was a way of making sure only the people kept poorly, the undesirable people would be given speeding tickets and criminal records for questioning them while the people 'in the know' just did whatever they f*ck*ng wanted.
i got a letter from the tertiary education commission the other day saying that the law gives the universities operational freedom to manage themselves as they see fit.
i was telling the tertiary education commission about the university practices involving them double-billing the tertiary education commission for studnets by forcing them to re-enrol for periods of time additional to those that had been contracted by withholding qualification completions. That they were refusing to get theses that had been submitted for examination out to external examiners in order to prevent and prohibit studnets from completing qualifications within the time they had contracted to tbe studying for (e.g., refusing to allow studnets to complete 1 year research degrees in 1 year by refusing to get the thesis to externals until it wasn't possible for the project to be signed off within 1 year so as to force the studnet to pay additional fees for additional enrolment).
It would be like quoting a price for building a house that would be built in 6 months time. And then refusing to order a building inspector to inspect the building had been competed to a satisfactory standard until some period of time after the 6 months... Then also requiring the people to pay the builders wages until such time as the building achieved sign-off.
So the whole project takes more like 12 months and runs over-cost x2.
Apparently this is acceptable business practice in NZ.
This is what the NZ government thinks is acceptable business proactice in NZ.
This is why it is not possible to do business in this jurisdiction.
Of course you likely can pay a little tidy sum to someone or someone else or whatever to get them to call the building inspecot a little earlier... Maybe a couple blow-jobs?
