Hey guys
I was stoppped in the first street past my house, about 4 mins from my Mechanic and the RTA, by an unmarked police car.
Not speeding or breaking the law, although car was 12hours out of rego as I had to iron out some things for pink slip.
I drove out of my drive way got to the first corner 50 meters and realised I forgot the rego papers, so I turned around, all legal, slow because of the child care and primary schools in my street and there they stopped me.
I got fine 477 for no rego and 477 for no insurance. I was not rude or smart and didnt swear or argue.
My first comment was that I am heading to get a pink slip now, and the female police officer snapped "I dont belive you", so I said follow me to my mechainic then the rta, she then said " we not an escort service" they both stated that in their opinion I had been driving the car around. I have a commodore wagon that I drive everywhere.
In state law it is written that it is against the law to drive an unregistered car.
Federal law states that in the life of you owning a vehicle you only need to register it once.
I do not have enough money for the fines or to fight the two officers in court, its their word against mine.
I was told to step out of the car and leave it in the no parking zone and walk home, and get it towed to a mechanic or my residence.
I would like to add I had never seen these two cops before nor had I had any convictions for anything recently.
this is not a joke. I have been told that because the law states you cannot drive a car unreg, its entirly up to the police wether you get fined or not.
pay the fines? or not pay? or should I go around hating all police now as once again the prove how some poeple should not be givin any power.
