Ok, got pulled over on the way home this afternoon. All good just a random check... but... whilst I was talking to one pig, the other was taking pictures of my car. WTF?

Question; why does he do these things now?

AND

Can I ask him why he is taking pictures? And can I ask him if there are any good ones he can email me?

But seriously, can I ask him not to or what?

They usually take pics in the engine bay to send to epa, as most police officers are clueless about mods. But if they didn't pop your bonnet, i have no idea why they take pics; unless they were also clueless about ride height, wheels, ect...

as the numberplate says "Victoria on the move" pictures yes im sure they can take them, But i would question the fact is that if there is nothing wrong, why take pictures, there is no benefit for them? And as a citizen of society you are allowed to ask, and im sure by law they have to tell you on that note.

i saw some new software they were using in syd on the news.

had a laptop with a cam, and they were cross referencing cars that drove through. like an identification system or something. maybe the pics are for that type of database.

Like an indexing system or something? Well that sucks major ass.

You probably won't be saying that if your vehicle gets stolen and Police have images at hand to be able to cross reference with any other cars they pull over.

Unless your car has stolen parts on it, there's no reason for you to worry.

As stated above photo's as taken as evidence. That way when you receive the EPA notice there is no discrepancy between what you say and what the officer says. If there is they simply provide the photo’s as evidence. If you refuse the photo’s or kick up a stink they’ll probably just tow you car or ream you. Not in you best interests trust me.

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
