Getting Picked On By The Police...

[mid life crisis]

it doesnt matter what kind of motor vehicle you drive

the police will do just that - police their surrounding area. fair enough, thats what they do.

however, if your vehicle draws attention to yourself, then accept that the powers that be may raise an eyebrow and watch for any little reason to pull you over

Im glad I have a stagea, it looks stock and while looking nice doesnt draw undue attention, I believe

It also comes down to how you present yourself, both on the road behind the wheel, and to the officer(s) if you have indeed been asked over for a question or 2.

Ive had a bad experience with an old scottish policeman and his young prop.constable. Pulled over, 5 cars in total. 2 went on, 3 stayed so had 5cops walking around me

3 left, these 2 stayed and frisked me, searched my car (presumed stolen Vp; my dads work lease car, i was 16.5), told them there was weed in the boot (lol)

couldnt understand the old scotish highlander and the young punk was just that

I refused to sign the black book they recorded everything into (it made me sound like a tool), went to court, and had everything thrown out by the judge. There was no proof for speeding (80 in 60, I said yes I was over the limit, 2am Hackam West Cottaeg lane back road, wide, no lights). I was followed thru the back roads (hills, where my parents live) with highbeam right on my arse, I had no idea they were police, I figured hoons out to beat me and pinch me old mans car (went out for ice coffee and cigs).

The backroads are gravel, so I drove along the wheel tracks (middle of the road, like all 100% of traffic up there does) with them up my arse in high beam. I lost them over the big dipper on Kimberlys Road (lol, I love that big dipper, heard from my old bedroom and seen so many accidents there, haha), or so I thought lol. lghts everywhere.

I took photos of the road in question (dangerous driving, and driving with undue care charges, speeding was dropped as no proof) and showed to the Judge that I in fact had done nothign wrong, and i was dismissed. the Prosecuter was red in the face and the Judge put him in his place. Oh lol I didnt swear by the bible; when asked I said Im antireligeous but swear to tell the truth. lol

had some good times too, riding thru the hills for 9 yrs every weekend, never pulled over. Got no-noed once (one finger wave " no no") but that was all, in all those years of high speed action.

But whatever happens, if youve done wrong and been caught then face it. as simple as that. I dont ride anymore, I didnt want my luck to change. With my car, it looks stock, I drive it like it is stock in most areas, but give it a whirl here and there. if it gets looked at so be it, but there s far hasnt been any reason to look at my 'girl. Got the Stag

mate you ought too get pulled over just cause you are damm ugly at least wear a brown paper bag over ya head so you dont scare small kiddies and frighten dogs

depends how you drive, what you look like (if you look young, or abit rough(no offense))..

if the exhaust is too loud, in which case you could change up a gear so its not reving as hard if possible..

ive only gotten pulled over once and that was because i was doing 24 kays over the limit (oops(regret getting that fine))..

but other then that ive been followed many many times, i think the cops just check your rego, etc..

if your driving and look hell sketchy/trippy/suspicious, then they will pull you over.

also depends who is in the car with you and what time your driving..

but then again, why do we drive 'sports' cars if we dont want to get pulled over? why not drive a holden or ford if you hate getting pulled over.

and as for defects, cops can and will defect you if they want even if your car is stock.

my uncle got his bike defected because his indicators were too high (they were stock) so he had to get them custom made abit lower and go through regency..

I haven't been pulled over in the Stagea much (mostly breathos and cruise meets when I'm with the cops), but my bikes certainly get alot of attention.

Been pulled over on the Brutale alot. Even got an interest to buy it from a copper.
