Comrade Blyatlov: Aug 4, 2007; should have picked four fingers

hi cops

question about something that's going down in nz at the moment
a journalist published a story a little while ago on one of our current events programs where they obtained a gun through what they called dubious means

basically they mail ordered a gun, put in a supposedly fake gun licence number (i suspect they used the number of someone they knew, so when the check was done it came back as a real licence), then, well, i'll quote the article:

quote:

Whoever completed the form created the name of a fictitious officer and included what appeared to be a police registration number.

That person created "Rebecca Were" (QID RWH846), who apparently worked at the North Shore Policing Centre. The same fictitious Were signed and dated the document, stating she had seen the firearms licence referred to higher up the form and confirmed the applicant named on the form owned the licence.

i'm sure that the journalist had nothing but the public good in mind (and certainly not her own reputation), but to me that's absolutely flat out black and white impersonating a police officer.

this was some kind of hard-hitting journalism or something showing that they take things very seriously, but cut a long story short, it looks like she just flat out committed fraud in the name of a story.

now leaving out all of the 'huh? did no one call this rebecca were and check?' am i way off base here, or as you guys understand it, did she gently caress herself over?

gonna be loving hilarious to watch if she does go down for this, she already did some item about how disruptive to her life it was to have the cops turn up and execute a search warrant on her home

In Canada that could be Impersonate PO, or fraud. I'd prefer the criminal charge. If she cleared it with the police beforehand, then it wouldn't be an offence but I'm guessing she probably didn't.

I don't know anything about NZ's legal system so I can't give you anything reliable. Nobody outside of MZ probably could, anyways. Your statute and case law is completely different from everywhere else, so I'd doubt anyone here will be able to tell you anything specific.

I know ones exist that go under your shirt, but you have to cut holes in your shirt.

Do you have an external vest or internal?

I've heard good things from the blackhawk if you want to go over your shirt / under your vest.

Other than that I dont know.

Heres your options. Look like a tacticool nerd and get a drop leg or look like a weird nerd and wear exterrnal suspenders. I guarantee if you buy that back defender you'll wear it for like a month before you decide you hate spending 45 minutes getting dressed and having to constantly retuck your shirt and just quit wearing it.

Personally I don't want any extra steps when it's time to take a poo poo. Hidden secret suspenders just seems too much trouble.

Back before I got my shirts altered i used the hidden tailor thing. Even dealing with that was an extra hassle before work. I can't image doing internal suspenders.

Anyone who wears a drop leg holster by choice instead of necessity is the kind of person who would suck dick for bus fare and then walk home.

Don't worry, they addressed this in the FAQ

quote:

Question: (this is an actual question) Restroom use. In the event of needing to use the restroom after that dreaded beef double bean burrito, do you need to remove all the gear and go through the process of putting it all back together again? I have had situations where it was a close call to get to the nearest restroom and almost had to make an uncomfortable trip back to the station. What is the standing procedure for this predicament?

Answer: You do have to remove all your gear, but you do not have to take off the Back Defender. When using the restroom just un-snap your four belt keepers, take off the duty belt, and drop your pants, your ready to go. With that being said; DO NOT try to make a quick restroom stop for the first couple of days, remember the learning curve. After a couple of weeks wearing the Back Defender bathroom time will become negligable.

I had a coworker that was large and whenever he would sit down his side fat would disengage the hood on his holster.

I have a co worker who's so fat that his rolls literally prevent him from drawing his pistol while standing straight up. He has to lean about 60 degrees over to his left in order to get this thing out, p cool to see him qualify at the range.
