helpful with questions that we asked them

good stuff brian,
sounds like your blokes were a little bit more
friendly than the police patrol who
bailed us up at tempest. pack of mongrels who
were difficult and down right rude.

I always advocate to treat the officers with the respect you would expect them to treat you with.

We were stopped by the police twice in one day. The first time was about 100 meters from the entrance to Roslyn Bay Harbour and the second time was out at Outer Rock, about 30 klms out. They were two different crews but each one were very courteous, polite and helpfull. I cant say enough for them. I thanked them for being there and having to perform such a difficult job when faced with irate or drunken people and especialy for being there when help is needed. The water police get my vote every time. They are all top guys in my book.

i hear the fisho's at gladstone are a pretty professional and friendly bunch anyone else had any dealings with them???????
one of my best mates from school is a fisheries officer. his theory is be nice to him he,ll be very leeniant if its a minor offence, but slightest bit off attitude he comes down like a tonne of bricks .apperently its pretty much across the board ,but occasionally youll find the stern ones
Have only had pleasent dealings on the water with the fisheries patrol
Good to see they are picking the right type of people for the job.

Does this mean that if he comes across somebody having a 'bad hair' day or senses that he is not being treated with the utmost respect, or cringing, that he will throw the book? What if he just plain does not like some person undergoing the inspection?
Has he taken note of the concept of impartiality?
This will probably stir up a hornet's nest so, before it begins, let me say that every Fisheries officer met on the water has been very fair, pleasant and even handed but it is distressing to read that one should, to avoid being thoroughly investigated, fined or whatever, adopt a meek profile in the face of authority and accept them as the arbiters of attitude, rules, life, the universe and everything.

Thats the way with anyone in authority, give em lip, expect grief. Learn't that when I was about 3 years old.
I suspect he has heard of the concept of showing respect to authorites!

nearly didnt even bother replying .thought it was fairly straight forward .if its a genuine mistake be polite youll be all right .do it wrong deliberatly and be a smartarse and get severly punished,.common sense ,so what if your having a bad hair day manners are cheap
Got pulled up by police as I had forgotten to put my dive flag up.They let me off with a verbal warning & told me it was $150 fine.
Can't complain
