Security on Civic cab queue?

I doubt security would be much good anyway. Nowadays most of the guards I see are overseas students earning some extra coin. They wouldn’t be much good stopping 5 drunk/speeding dickheads in a punch on.
Maybe the clubs should be forced to provide some of their islander gorillas on a rotational basis.

You sound like a racist douche congrats.

They were probably still doing the paperwork from locking up some of these guys mates 20min earlier.

Every time I’ve been out in Civic late at night I’ve seen several police parked in the intersection waiting, not far from the taxi queue, and wandering around – I wonder why they didn’t show up.

How about a police presence of say 6 coppers, problem solved, really not that hard?

Lol. You’d be lucky to have that many patrolling a whole zone (Belco, Tuggs, Woden) on some shifts.

Hmm I hope this is a pathetic attempt at sarcasm, or you my friend are a tard…

Lol whoops I’ll admit I was lazy and didn’t read the last sentence of the post, but its good to see buzz819 throwing out the tard card. With sharp witty retorts like that you’d make an excellent heckler or high school student you mental Adonis you. 🙂

Last time I was out in the city I saw A security officer at the Taxi Rank and I can understand why you wouldn’t see him during a brawl.

The company he works for pays a flat rate of 18.06 no matter the hour. (That isn’t enough to put your body on the line at 3am)
Being the cheapest company in canberra they take on many contracts and hire any incompetent fool with a security licence (usually paid for by centrelink as a benefit to the unemployed) Meaning yes mostly overseas students.
I’ve never seen a site where they are willing to put on two staff. (Even police get backup and this poor fellow was closer to the action than they were.)

Before working out my mistake I covered places like Braddon McDonalds (Ever had a guy try to beat on you because he was rejected from clubs, sobering up and couldn’t get a big mac at 0430?) followed by 6 hour turn around onto my day shift for 4 hours then 8 hour turn around and back to Mcdonalds.

Wow that got off track a little sorry :/
But the point back there was: There Probably was a security guard there. Try the shadows away from confrontation.

Coppers in this town? I think we had them back in the 1980`s did we not?

In the past on Friday / Saturday nights, there has always been police vehicles parked right that the end of Garema place opposite the queue – normally with the actual police patrolling around not too far away. Maybe you just caught it at a bad time when they were called off elsewhere? There is also a stack of CC TV round that area, that I think is actively monitored during busy periods…

Either way, more police on the street would fix things somewhat….
