sometimes i wish i was a highway patrol coppa, i get so angry seeing all this tossers on the Bruce/Gateway mtwy.

people forget that driving is a privilege not a right

[r33cruiser]

if anyone sees a red ss crewman with chrome wheels on it stay the f#%k back. i got rbt, and 'random registration checked' by it. i didnt think they were cops because the blue shirt wasnt on. instead they had a black shirt on with the qld badge on. THIS WAS ON THE SUNNY COAST

bahahaha.. that was funny.. but they wer trying to do good.

some of these stories are pretty bad, i cant say i have had a problem with the police before. but police lowering themselves to hooning to catch hoons, thats pathetic. if they just had more marked cars on the road then there would be alot less hooning.

And as for being pulled over by unmarked cars you don't have to pull over unless you are in a safe place - for example an open service station that has security cameras.

Last week I had a falcon on my arse driving back from briz, I'm talking 2 foot off my rear for a good 2 k's. I was in the very left lane he could of went around me no prob, I gave him a few gestures to get off my arse and even slowed down to 80 in a 110k zone, he backed off and went around me... it was a cop trying to stir me up to take off ! If I see this f**ker again I will be gettting his details to make a complaint. Just not on to be sitting that close for so long on someones arse... cop or not. I am furious with myself for not getting the rego. What pisses me more is I had a friends baby in a capsule in the back seat and cruising in left lane doing under 110kph. I am fast losing respect for these guys, can't they punch up your rego details on the fly ? If so they would see I am 35y.o with an excellent driving history. And no I will not get rid of my Skyline, I like my car and worked hard to buy it and it is perfectly legal to purchase and drive one.

My 2 cents

I haven't had a chance to to plug in the wiring where you said mate but yes it's always on my brain, need a weekend to myself to do some tweeking to my girl, waiting for the new walbro fuel pump and regulator also doing some research on injectors, she runs out of fuel @ 12psi 180kw matty spry dyno.

After posting yesterday I had a cop go past me last night in a 40k work zone doing atleast 100k then slowing down to probably 80k going thru ( With workers actually there working + machinery) no lights no sirens... go figure ? Approx 10.45pm Reedy Creek Rd West Burleigh. Now this bloke should know this particular section of road is notorious for massive fatal T-Bones as people dart out of a service road coming out of the Caltex servo, this intersection is always having the guard rails replaced from the last accident.

I had the same thing happen to me about a year ago, a blue XR6 falcon sitting on my ass on a deserted M1, not at all obvious, he must have thought I was really stupid

[BAMR33]

Has anyone been done for hooning? if so what happens penalty wise i.e. does your car get impounded, do you get a fine, are there a set amount of points you loose or is it dependent on the offense?

[IanB]

the cops attempted to ping me for hooning and burnouts which i didnt do the other night, but after a h00ge arguement on the side of the road they dropped it.

[aphid]

yeah, got done for teh illigal drifts out in the middle of an industrial district at 3am.. Cops rocked up while i was pulled over and a huge cloud of smoke behind me, didn't actually see me doing anything, but I was obviously guilty..

anyway they impounded my car and gave me the notice to appear in court for driving without due care and creating excessive smoke and noise (whatever it is), and at no point in time did they take a statement off me..

went to court, dressed in a suit unlike half the other drink driving bogans that were there, had my best mannerson show and remoursfully (sp), pleaded guilty. The magistrate then asked if I agreed with the cops statement from the night, which was actually complete bullshit, they'd written down that I was sideways doing over 100km/h, to which I said no that is incorrect..

the magistrate then went off her tits at me calling me an idiot and a few other things, making out that I was a complete tosser for wanting to spend my money on cars and the like, then said I was either lying to her face now or I lied to the police at the time.. I then told her that I had never actually signed any statements apart from the form handing my car over, she looked over the documents then said in a really low and threatening voice "Get out of my courtroom now before I take your license" and I didn't look back.. end of matter didn't even have to pay for the tow haha

As stated before the police do not have Skylines etc as undercover cars. They can and only have australian delivered vehicles which are purchased new ie Fords(Falcons, Typhoons, Xr6 Turbos), Commodores(S packs, SS's, Crewmans and those variations), 380's, Aurions, Hilux's, Landcruisers(speed cameras) Wrx's were purchased previously but are no longer around.

For the guy who got a speeding ticket from an off duty officer in his own car you should have fought it as they cannot give you a speeding ticket as police vehicles need to ;

Have the speedo tested/caliabrated for accuracy every 3 months,

Has to be an approved speedo(Some have digital display and gauge display the calabration covers only one of them).

They can/could issue tickets whilst off duty for other things but should proceed by way of a traffic breach(Goes to their adjudication and they send out a fine or summons).

If you are pulled over by an unmarked police unit just leave your window 90 % up and if they are not wearing full uniform, ask for id.

Generally traffic police will wear full uniform but will be in an unmarked car. If you fail to pull over you will be given a $450 ticket or a notice to appear in court depending on how the officer feels.

Unless you are a female at 2am in the middle of the sticks good luck trying to talk your way out of not pulling over.

AS STATED THE POLICE CARS ARE NEW OR NEWISH AS THEY ARE REPLACED AFTER THEY CLOCK UP 80,O00 K'S OR LESS.

IF YOU ARE BEING PULLED OVER BY AN UNMARKED HOLDEN CAMIRA THE CHANCES ARE THAT IT IS NOT A POLICE CAR.

USE YOUR RARE SENSE. I say rare sense because it appears common sense is not so common these days.
