How would your plumber feel if you filmed him fixing your dunny ? Not trying to be a smartarse about it but worth contemplating. Good way to get them offside. Perhaps if you are concerned have a friend or your wife accompany you during the inspection.

Still comes down to the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", mate.
Look at it from the other side, would you look favorably on someone who made it that plain to you that they automatically assumed you were shonky, and that they were going to record your every move, just on spec?

Yeah don’t want to annoy them, I know a couple of lawyers who used to be coppers they are saying ‘never trust a copper’ and I should at least voice record because the coppers definitely will be.

Yeah, that's a really good look, eh?
I got a chuckle from the part of the report where the police spokesman said that it's every citizen's right to challenge a ticket.
So it is, but how many who aren't married to a police commissioner actually succeed wasn't mentioned.
Gaznazdiak wrote:Patriot, the police don't think everyone is shonky, but having to deal on a daily basis with the worst scum humanity can produce, it's a self defense mechanism to be suspicious. It's also part of the job, they're not here to pander to peoples sensibilities.
But, just for the record how would you feel if you were treated that way in whatever line of work you're in?
Would it endear you to the person recording you?
Or would you think they were being a bit of a dick for automatically prejudging you?
Gaznazdiak wrote:Mate, I really don't know how I can make it any simpler for you, but I'll try.
They interact with people who lie to them, disrespect them and attack them, every day, so it's simple human nature for that to colour how they look at people.
Do you interact with crooked coppers doing the wrong thing by you every day? Or any day?
I have never heard of anyone reporting that the police recorded their safe inspection, that doesn't mean it's never happened, but if it was common we would have heard about it before you made the claim.
I will take the fact that you have twice refused to answer how you would feel if you were treated that way in your day job to mean that you wouldn't like it at all.

It's just that I, and seemingly everyone else, wondered why you would want to antagonize, right from the get-go, someone with the power to make your life difficult, or to take your guns.
Assuming that because some cops overstep their authority, they all will, just as a matter of course seems as simplistic to me as the antis who assume that all gun owners are slavering murderers in waiting.
But one of the great things about Oz is that we are all free to believe whatever strangeness bloats our particular goats.
Good luck witth it.
