what dont u get about entrapment?
If the car is illegaly modified in a way that poses an immediate threat to the public or to other road users then yes, a defect is appropriate. However, in alot of cases cars are getting defected for the smallest of issues, some of them simply maintenance problems.
So if these people, car enthusiasts, are trekking to far and about suburbs to enjoy their cars on the shoestring budget they might have, shouldn't they be rewarded with being able to go about it peacefully without having to deal with a gauntlet of TMU's on their way out?
I don't disagree with defecting big mods that don't comply with the law - but why defect and target car enthusiasts when there's a thousand rustbuckets out there that pose much more of a threat to the environment and other people?
You'd think after noble park the police would try to bridge the gap between imports and themselves ey.
