Call for witnesses re Macgregor collision

Not only does he have to sit near RAPID jerks

If you haven’t paid your rego / renewed your licence / sufficiently obeyed the law to keep your licence, dont drive your car and you wont have any problems…….dick.

The constable will probably paint a grim picture when he to the bottom of this…

Sorry Officer, I know nothing about the crash.

However, is this the first time that the AFP have used ‘new media’ in this way. I find it a really interesting development (that I think also let’s JZb know the website has hit critical mass…)?

all police are ‘constable’, even the commissioner…

good luck in your investigations, constable.

He’s a senior constable. Not only does he have to sit near RAPID jerks and drive a veedub, but he then gets demoted on a public forum too. terrible. 😉

i understood a collison to be where the impact of one body upon another causes energy to be redistributed between the two bodies; nothing in that to entail that both bodies must have been antecedentally moving. though as noted above, everything is moving…

‘impact’ is the term i loathe – it should refer to to the collision between two physical bodies but now we have ideas ‘impacting’ and other abominations – where are the police for these crimes??

good luck in your investigations, constable.

You obviously haven’t seen the trees in Macgregor 😉

I’m guessing its this comment from a Newbie (that never came back to post again) that drew this attention?

That all depends on your frames of reference and relative momenta.
(Just because the ground you stand on doesn’t apparently shift doesn’t mean you aren’t hurtling through space at 30km/s, orbiting a ball of gas 150,000,000 km away….)

Flipper, I think Senior Constable Stokan is referring to you…

Einstein might have had something to add here, however he is long-departed, though I sense his remains are moving through the space-time continuum as we speak.
