More Police Stupidity

[Ryan D]

I was driving back in my Skyer from hiring the new matrix game on PS2 from the local video store when a marked copper in front of me pulled to the side, let me pass, then pulled out and followed me up the road a bit, the lights then flashed and i preceeded to pull over thinking, what the **** did i do?

The cop rocks up to my window

(R = Myself P = Young coppa)

R = whats the problem officer

P = i saw some blue lights on your car. whats the story with that

R = what blue lights? Mate the only blue lights i can see is your ****ing siren and the poofter bar down the road

The young bloke then proceeds to point out the small reflectors on my front side panel and claims theyre an aftermarket lighting kit, and its illegal and he can defect me ect ect

P = Im still convinced theres blue lights installed

R = what blue lights? Mate the only blue lights i can see is your ****ing siren and the poofter bar down the road

He then goes round the car and pushes on the reflectors and then looks in the car at the light switches trying to turn these mysterious blue lights on

He then accepts defeat on that one, so out comes the mag light again doing a full inspection of anything he can see

P = What model is this?

P = Is it turbo?

R = No

P = Does it have a blow off valve?

R = Its not turbo mate...

Then does another round of the car and notices the fog lamps on and gives me a warning about driving with them on, threatens me with a $35 fine, which i told him would be a waste of time and paper issueing me with. Then asks me for my liscence, asks if the car is complied and then asks me if ive had anything to drink and then gets me on the blower,

Seriously, they must be desperate for money and funding these days, did the gst affect the price of KFC that much?

[SHUTO-BOY]

why dont they just leave us alone

[kjb_r33]

police should pull over ALL people running fog lights through the day in good weather. Not only is it illegal, its a pain in the arse, and damn commodore and magna drivers are the worst, ****en show ponies....

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

It will only get worse, as more and more of them are let out of the academy.

"fools delight in airing there own opinions"

We have just given these people the power to be bigger assholes than usual

[T0nyGTSt]

Can I ask what suburb this is?

T.

[Ryan D]

It was in the southwest, thats all im saying

My fog lights arnt even that bright, there the stock bulbs and shit

And the street i was on has really spaced apart lights

[kjb_r33]

was it foggy???

no matter how its justified, it IS illegal, if you dont want police attention don't do anything to attract it is all I'm saying.

You should have popped your bonnet and invited him to look for one

ryan

thats an absolute joke m8

unless you were wearing a baseball cap backward then you deserved it....

[Silver-Arrowz]

My mother got pulled over in the old daewoo for having the drivers lights on. Copper told her it's only allowed when it's foggy or raining.

[Nismodified]

should of wasted the mofo's time, popped the hood (if ur stocko) and ask him to look for a BOV.

and when he 'finds' one, give the pig the good news.

abso****inglutely.

Plus, although the cop was an idiot you were giving him attitude. Any smarter cop would have gone over your car with a fine tooth comb and a defect pad and then you'd have whinged harder.

So bear that in mind, if you give a cop shit and you get some in return don't expect sympathy. I agree he's harrassing you and probably deserved it (except about the fog lights, he's dead right about that) but you are doing all the right things to rub a cop up the wrong way and come off a lot worse for your trouble.

Don't take it as a personal attack, I see your point of view but I've also seen how this sort of thing turns into "cops are assholes and defect me for no reason" (when I called them cops and insinuated that their mother was a whore - is the part that people never mention)

[Guest DFLASH]

poor guy... least ya didnt get done for anything..

I was always worried about getting picked on, I had my gts-t for 2 years and was never pulled over once. Guess it was just my luck *touch wood*,

They can't pick on me no more, now driving a stock Integra Type-R, they can keep tryin to find a defect, they won't, call it rice or not but it sure can't be defected

[SHUTO-BOY]

if he is angered hed defect you for anything,i heard once some guy got defected for having a4 paper in the car(reason:burning material) but he was being a smart ass,so lesson no1, dont be a smart ass

[Frosty]

i know what it feels like to get pulled over here in WA

I gtet pulled over like 2wice a week for doing nothing at all

just for the farking fun of it i reckon

**** heads

[Ryan D]

I didnt give him attitude till he started just being a ****wit and trying to get me for anything, and i cant exactly describe his tone of voice, i was pretty pissed, felt like lodging a complaint but i can imagine how far that will go, no where.

He was really looking over the car before i gave him attitude, just pissed me off cause i wasnt doing anything wrong, just driving a import.

I dont exactly see XR6's or shit like that gettin pulled over and inspected to the shithouse

I did leave out the parts where he was aking me all this crap bout steering, suspension and all. he was desperate for a big find

[Silver-Arrowz]

mate of mine got defected in VIC for stock springs. Cops reasoning was cause he pulled into the driveway going a little sideways to avoid it scratching his sideskirt, thus it's too low. That means all 200sx on the road are defective from factory....

[Duncan]

Actually, I was talking to a cop about that, apparently the guideline is based on car from factory meeting ADRS, but there are lots of things that can happen, even to a stock car, to make it not comply, eg perished windscreen wipers, brake pads too low, broken/blown lights, bald tyres etc etc. pretty easy for them to catch you if they really want to.

Whats more, they don't have to be right, they just send you to RTA inspection - guilty until proven innocent.

[carlo]

The last thing you want is a RTA inspection.. Because those boys know what to look for...

[Roy]

Most likely a General Duties fella with nothing really to do.

Whether its the police or any other person, boredom normally makes for trouble.

I got breathalised the other night, i admitted to having drunk 4 beers. Asked the usual Qs like when was the 1st, last etc, etc.

The guy talking to me was cool, his partner looking at my DJ-01s on the rear pointed them out to his partner. They chuckled about the meaty nature of the rubber, then said "your right mate, change the radio station and you can be on your way"

Obviously they didnt like John Seccada "Make it through the day without you" Bunch of savages in the NSW Police Service
