Yeah i have been hasselled and accused for something that never happened. Driving down the coast one night in my old car (stock 94 supra) and passed a cop car that was parked on the side of the road that had his lights flashing from an earlier incident. 3 mins later, a car comes screaming up my arse and sits there for a few mins. Next thing... flash.. pull me over and at this point im not worried as i was not speeding, doing anything stupid and my car is stock and 100% legal.
Cop stands behind my car and shouts like he's real pissed to get outta my car... shit.. he made me feel like i stole my own car. Got out and he said that a camera flash came from my car as i drove past and that it is illegal to take a photo of the police.... whether this is true or not i dont have a clue!! I told him that no one in my car has a camera, he told me not to tell lies and shit... i kept my cool and stayed polite the whole time explaining that the flash may have been a reflection off my car as i drove past but he wouldnt have any of it and kept accusing me of taking a photo.
Searched in my car briefly.. found no camera as there never was one then did a license check.. all clear.. asked me where i was heading..gold coast.. then accused me again of being a boy racer and that all people that drive imports do illegal drags etc etc. BULLSHIT. and anyone that knows me, i hate to admit but im a bit of a nanna when i drive lol.. anyway after being made to feel like i stole my own car, accuse me of taking a photo and being a boy racer, he let me on my way.
He was one arrogant prick...maybe he was having a bad day and i was the unlucky one that copped it.. sometimes i wonder if he was testing my temper.. phew, when i got into my car i was one angry man... but what can you do???
I have always had respect for the police but after that incident im starting to wonder.
