They are back so how do we deal with them?

Kia Ora,

It has been evident for the last few weeks here in Christchurch the boy racers(street racers) are back though they now appear to have new tactics.

You can again hear the noise of the cars across the city as large numbers drive around. But they as yet anyway seem to not be in large cruise's(large number of vehicles) but you are seeing up to 10 vehicles in a line with a quick stop at an intersection for one doghnut then move onto to next one.

The area of Wigram, Middleton business areas & the back roads around Halswell seem to be a favourite haunt lately. Again we are seeing them short cut through business premises often with their lights off.

It has been noticeably building over the last couple of weeks & of course probably to a show down with the police at the vehicle show 4's & Rotary over the weekend of the 18th, 19th & 20th of February 2011.

The bleeding hearts will be out saying we have to leave these poor people alone. OK they can get the bottles thrown at them as security for carrying out a legal action or someone threaten to drive over you on private land(until it was pointed out the police car behind them might have somethng to say about it).

A good event gets ruined by these morons. The exhibitors & organizers(including some serving police officers) are really nice people & really want nothing to do with the boy racer crowd who use it as an excuse to assemble in Christchurch city each year.

Bulding a skid pad is not really a viable option. It will take many off the road initially but the hard core trouble makers will remain as they don't want to be part of any organized set up. So the majority will follow like sheep away from the organized focus after the first few weeks.

It will be interesting to see what happens next week. I suspect as stated earlier the boy racer community are setting up to take on the police or at least challenge them especially after the charges for unlawful assembly from an incident last year were thrown out or withdrawn.

These are not the petrol heads of yesteryear but anarchists bent on destroying anything they can with the view you have no right to stop them.

How to deal with them?

There needs to be a concerted effort to re introduce the rule of law with backing from the courts & the politicians. Not a lot of hot air.

At present the police are hamstrung, the courts are soft & the politicians are weak. If we let it go too far then try to clamp down the backlash will be even greater.

As much as things change, they stay the same!

Kia Ora,

Well out on the weekend to see what crime was about.

On the Friday heavy fog rolled in & though you could hear a lot going on it was not possible to see unless it was in front of you.

Decided to set up an area of observation where I had identified some criminal activity the previous week. To get there you had to pass the area where I was beaten the previous week.



In the fog as I got near the area you could hear people shouting as if they were searching the area. Sorry guys but I was elsewhere.

Saturday was the night that the boy racers had said they would rark up the City. Two things were against them. The weather & the police hitting them everytime someone stepped out of line.



Carried out a mobile patrol of some of the area my new service covers & for the second time I came across some containers just off a main road.

On the previous occassion the call to police comms had brought a so what?

This time after checking that they appeared to contain used light oil, it seems that between police comms & myself we probably ruined some boy racers fun.



This weekend could be interesting though as a letter to the editor by a young individual threatening the Christchurch City council if they don't repeal the new by law has set new boundaries.

It seems the path taken recently in some countries were youth has challenged the authorities has now arrived in New Zealand.

Why is Christchurch so Violent when there is no reason for it?

Kia Ora,

Well an another interesting weekend, which took a violent turn I hadn't planned on.

Recently I have being working on using social media as part of my marketing plan for my company & the new service.



That has meant as readers will have noticed the use of video I have taken & youtube.

This has meant I have being out looking for crime/suspicious or dangerous activity to video.

On Saturday night, finding something wasn't working as it should be (which would cost me during the later incident) took my vehicle to look for the items needed, but that late at night it was a task too far.

But what I did observe was a boy racer van full of females pull up outside a school & go into I would say use it as a toilet whilst one threw their empty bottles across the road, people leaving a party to be seen about an hour later still leaving, blocking a major road at one part with a vehicle & running onto the road, causing traffic to break sharply.

The police were rung & attended promptly. Funny how the party suddenly dispersed in a more orderly fashion.



I then decided to procide with my original plan to set up whilst waiting for any calls to video the people using the railway lines as a very dangerous short cut not to mention trespassing. Was getting set & could hear talking & noise. Realized it was coming from other side of structure I was set up on so went to have a look. Suddenly more moise then two males rung across the road, jump into a car hidden nearby & take off. It appears they had being in a car wreckers steling parts for their car.

As I stood off the side talking to police on phone about it a number of other boy racers slowed to look in at same spot but then left at speed on seeing someone there.



After setting myself up there in case someone showed up, but once it started to rain decided to go back to base.

As I headed back heard boy racers back by Sockburn Roundabout then "CRASH". Having a medkit on me I headed back.

First thing I see is a camper van parked in Nga Mahi Road with the occupants looking in shock. Then the boy racers were back so moving to a position to possibly video any actions to see a car airborne over the top of Sockburn Overbridge, then head off down Blenheim road.

As they had appeared to have gone, was heading back when burnouts start about 100 metres down Blenheim road & first one car then the other head towards the roundabout & drift around it.

Got to a position in time to video second vehicle loose control on the drift & snap off the giveway sign (or what was left of it as looking later it appears that was the first crash as well, so makes it look like vehicles were stolen in the way they were treating them).



To get that video had had to step out into a little into the open & a third vehicle seen me, they then told the first two who took off.

Only they hadn't taken off they doubled back, parked on Main south road & come across to see if I was still there. I was further along walking behind the bushes towards the way they had come & was about to head home when I head a voice & see two people on the footpath.

From there it went very quick & one came through then the other & said "give us the f..... camera" of course they got a "f... off", but these guys were going to do what they wanted. Was hit a glancing blow by the first guy & same by the second before a third tried to tackle me. We struggled until we hit the ground then the kicks went in. thanks to my bodyarmour & back pack they took most of the punishment, but got a few in the head as well.

Contary to conventional advice I hung onto the camera as it had the evidence, but it restricted my ability to fight back. What I did do was wrestle & struggle in amongst kicks to get out onto foot path/road so cars could see. Once there people began to ring the police in particular the young lady who hung around in her car, which was much appreciated.



At that point the camera broke & they ran with part of it, I chased but they had taken off in their parked cars before I could get their regostrations.

The police were great considering there is not much to go on & because of swelling on the side of my head, I went by ambulance to the hospital.

Whilst waiting there (head injuries it is just a matter of observation really in a very busy emergency room) I was actually despite all the blood, the least injured of those assaulted that night.

It seemed a night that is too common in Christchurch with mindless violence. Each incident spoken off whilst we waited for treatment consisted of groups setting on one person.

Most of it the reason why I felt safer in Baghdad than I do in Christchurch is there is no actual reason & the violence is so random.

The boy racers do it because they think you have no right of interferring with their fun.



There is no real excuse for it. As an American soldier said on another issue "I can understand why the Iraqis are upset with me & if it was my country I would be doing the same, but...." well the but here is what reason do our youth have to beat people up (not talking about me here as it goes with the territory if things go wrong), destroy businesses with mindless destruction.

There have being developments on this front though that will come to light later & a review of how I do this has meant some changes are in place, but it will never make it completely safe.

Even during the time I have being in the NZ Security Industry, where most criminals when caught in the act, didn't try to make it personal, it is not always the gangs but just our run of the mill youths that have become our biggest problem & most violent group.

How Boy Racers are harming the Economy!

Kia Ora,

Most nights a week here in NZ & in particular in Christchurch boy racers cause a lot of upset.

They also cause a lot of mindless destruction of business properties. From personal experience they have being seen doing anything from breaking windows, trying to set buldings on fire, destroying parts of buildings & putting staff in fear of injury or for some even their lives.

That is not hype but actual experience, not to mention the fires started on farm properties & threatening owners on the outskirts of Christchurch.

It must be costing Christchurch businesses & the economy alone millions of dollars.



The following footage was shot last night as yet again they used a business property to carry out burnouts.

Their reaction to being found out ended in some abusive language, but nothing to those who have felt the wrath of a Company Sergeant Major or worse a Regimental Sergeant Major.



As the police said when responding to this incident last night, "it starts as harmless fun, but then something gets damaged or destroyed."

The quality is not great as approaching where they had being carrying out burnouts for about half an hour, someone decided to use the area as a toilet, so was forced to take footage from some distance.

One thing this incident did show when talking to the police was the "boy racer law" brought in by the last government has major limitations.

All though this wasn't the reason for the launch recently of the new security service, it is an area where it can be effective.
