driving normally down torrens road coming home from work this arvo saw a cop do a u turn followed me towards arndale then pulled me over, popped the bonnet 2 look at engine he told me everything looks stock (even thought i have a highmount turbo), went through the cabin looking every where 4 a boost controller found my gauges that were on my steering column that i threw on the floor, asked what they were and why they on the floor, found a cable hanging out the glove box, he opened it and found my pfc, he thought it was a boost controller but i said it was for my stereo, he found out that i was lying so i said its just a display for engine readings, checked my tyre placard and he said it was for 16" wheels (1st defect) i have 19's, then he did a exhaust db test, i recorded 96db which should be 90db (2nd defect),i pleaded for just a cop shop check but said no so he slapped the sticker on my car
but the strange thing is that he wanted to fine me $209 for those 2 defects and said that seeing each wheel is too big wanted to fine $209 per wheel..........
can he do that??
luckily i was calm and he pointed that out 2 me and said he'll be nice and not fine me
whats the fee of the inspections these days??
i heard its $270???????
