Hoon Laws In The News

[N1GTR]

Guys,

For those of you that DONT keep up to date with current affairs, the NSW premier has announced a new police operation to cut down on "car-hoons"

The operation is said to involve police hiding cameras in unmarked cars in random places, and using the photos to get evidence of "hoons" (such as speeding) and will use this evidence to confiscate cars and impound them. This apparently(according to the new report) has already happened to 100 "hoons" here in Sydney

So heads up, and dont be an idiot on the roads - i know most of you are responsible drivers, but for the ones that cant help themselves speed, please dont speed at least over the next 6 weeks (time the operation will last) as it will bring bad attention to Skylines, and car enthusiasts everywhere.

If you really must speed, take it to a trackday.....check the events section for the next one coming up that SAU is holding

I would like to ask for someone with a legal background if they could please explain the law on this matter, as we have speed camera warnings for cameras (entrapment laws???), should there not be warnings that your car could be taken by a covert camera?

Stay safe guys - and keep your car in your possession

-Steve

This is what the speed unit looks like, these can be seen hanging from the roof lights or above the rear window on highway cars as most of you would know

Our premier who has thoughtup this operation

Dont let your car end up in here

Just had a thought.

The location wont be a secret when someone with quicktrack (satellite tracking) gets their car impounded.

...then we can do a Gone in 60 Seconds and break the cars out of the impound..

"She's a brick...house.."

[Haysey]

Hoons are even filling their cars with aviation fuel, altering oil systems and lowering their cars

ohh look out! dont alter your oil system...

secret warehouse,, fark off i know exactly where all the cars are kept!!!!!! guranteed!

fair enough there are morons on the road, but i think this is getting a bit over extreme, not like sales people with fleet commonwhores gun it everywhere, grannys hold up traffic, certian minority groups swerve, cut off, and tailgate...

but its the "hoons" that get the headlines..

I count eight commodores!!! HAHAHAHAHA

[lingeringsoul]

yeah saw that in the paper today, I do believe a silver skyline was in the photo as well and a S14 was labled as a commodore.......heheheh.

on a more serious note, DONT BE AN IDIOT

[br3tt]

Or don't be a hoon and lower your car.

[azzr32]

they should spend more time gettin the old timers off the road, that run over little kids!!!!!!!!!!!!

i havnt heard of any hoons running people over

its all the old people that complain about hoons and there the ones that cant drive!

I am sure the law cannot be enforced if challenged.

How can an offence carry a fine based on the car you drive.

If you get causght hooning in a $500 banger and it gets confiscated, but doing donuts in your $250,000 porsche and having it confiscated would not seem fair.

I am sure that the police would have no grounds to just take a car without serious offences.

This is just a way to rid the roads of P plate driving imports.

Very well said.

I would like someone with a legal background to weigh in on this topic if possible

once again they are ging to pick on us.. *crys*

im already being picked on by cops! . not fair. i got branded a hoon as soon as i bought a skyline by my bos and quite alot of other people. and now im going to get pulled over and hassled just because my car is 4cm lower to the ground then someone elses?

hmmm things like this just make me so fustrated. also being a p plater is like somthing people look down on now. as soon as they know that im a p plater in a import car, i get looked down on and instantly judged as hoon or someone who is a stupid driver and speeds, or what ever else.

no im not the worlds best driver by no means, and i know that i have alot to learn. but that doesnt instantly mean i am, or alot of other drivers who are still learning the skills of driving (P platers), are all idiots and hoons and dont give a damn to others.

the sooner i get off my green P's the better.. i hate the feeling of when i pull into the servo, or up my street, all the dirty looks i get, and so does alot of my friends..
