film a police officer carying out their duties, and tell them you are doing it?
lol try that and see where it gets you.
i think the person that wrote the article for adelaide now is loving how this has been blown way out of proportion and getting way more attention than it deserves thanks to them using the light bulb/wiperblade example.
if this gets passed it does not mean that cops are going to go out on a spree of handing out major defects for not having water in ur washer bottle. stuff will carry on as is and if you are unfortunate enough get defected there will be an expiation notice as well. It's pretty straight forward and to be honest im surprised the idea of having a mandatory fine attached to a defect has taken this long.
currently Police have the discretion to defect you, let you off or give you a fine for breaching vehicle standards... it is easier for them to fill out a defect notice than it is a fine, so i would expect that they arent too impressed about the extra work they would potentially be lumbered with
