Another "Random Breath Test"

[Ash]

Hi, i just thought i would share my story with a group of good cops i saw. They pulled me over and said i have been pulled over for a RBT then asked for my license before i even blew in the tube (normally it goes the other way ) anyway while i was doing the test they checked up my record and they came back. The female officer who i did the Breat test with (not like that) said you have a p plate on the back but not on the front. i corrected her and said i have a p plate on the front and not the back. she asked y i didn't have a p plate and said that its a $66 fine and 1 point per plate etc... i explained that i drive an old merc around and no one ever steals my plates. i drive the skyline around and my p's get stolen at least once or twice a week. she laughed and let me off. she told me to get a fat stack of them from the RTA.

While this was happening another male officer was walking around my car checking it out (i have bald tyres i don't know how he didn't notice) and u could tell he wanted to look under the hood so as soon as i had said thanks to the female officer, i took off as fast as i could without going over 2000RPM as not to make a blow off noise

but yeah i think if your nice to the cops they aren't going to shaft you. i think you have to start them up most of the time.

Yeah I have seen *one* nice pair that pulled me over. another time I got pulled over last valentines day and the cop was being a complete toss even though I was honest and nice.

I have noticed that whenever I am being completely honest about things with my car the cops think I am being a complete smart arse!

[Guest Boxhead]

yes i think the best thing to do when pulled over by highway patrol is ask them questions about there great commodore...

[Ash]

i always ask if i can keep the tube, i duno they always smile and say yes. i duno it sorta makes you look innocent.

[MacK]

i think they make u keep the tube. but that just might be in my area lol

[Tosh]

yeh they do... they've got no use for it.

[Ash]

nah they always take the tube and put it in a special bag next to them

[CerealKiller]

they always made me take the tube, but then again i haven't been RBT'd for a few months...

[Tosh]

yeh I was with a mate who got RBT'd on friday night in pymble and they made him keep it..... wierd...

[Ash]

thats odd i have only been rbt'd 5 times (3 since i got skyline) the first time ever i wanted to keep the tube as a souvineer(sp?) but they had already thrown it out so they gave me another one, the next two times (M2, Epping Road) they threw them out, and since then i have just asked if i can keep them.

[KamikazeR33]

thats crap

i got done for not having my rear p plate up a few months back

$74 and 2 points

[Ash]

HAHA

[B-Man]

I've never been RBT'd - thank god - /jokes

I have pulled in for RBT and had them treat me like shit, on the other hand I was pulled in for a rba in the rain one night and me and my passenger had a quick chat with the cop saying how we appreciate its hard work and good on them for doing it.

If only they where all that nice..

[XEQTOR]

Ive never had a problem with the local constablary.......they always apologise for pulling me over! :)

I was havin a chat with the Chatswood guys the other morning and he was saying how they are pulling over cars like ours because of recent thefts! I look at it as extra security personally!!!

[carlo]

Yeah I dont mind when they follow me or pull me over to check if its stolen.. But I dont like when they are nasty..

It is funny.. Some times they make me feel like I stole my own car..

[funkymonkey]

hehe u should listen to chris rock's stand up comedy..

Cops these days think that if you is black and you're drivin sumin then you musta stolen it. The other day I was drivin alogn when this cop pulled me over; he walks up to me and says, "Is this your car?" and I say "yeah this is my car"; and the officer says "Are you sure this isn't stolen?" and I be thinking, "Shiett maybe I did steal the car"... so I say to him "I'm sorry officer, I didn't mean to, some nigguh musta stolen it and left it in my driveway, I swear I didn't mean to steal it, don't beat me up officer please!"

Or sumfin like that.

one time i got rbt'd (at 7:00am sunday) on the way to work , n i had no p plate on the bak after the rbt was over he said that i didnt have a p plate on the back, i stated that i did (while knowing that i didnt) anyway then again he stated that i didnt n once again i said that i did, after this he stopped and started at me 4 a sec then said good day, turned around and walked back to his car

i thought, that was to easy.

cops, not the brightest individuals.

[Airzone]

I will never understand people like you.

In one instance where a cop gives you a hard time and fines you over a petty offence like not having P plates on your car, you hate them to death and whinge and cry, "Haven't they got anything better to do?"

Then when a cop informs you that you haven't got P plates on your car and turns a blind eye to such a petty offence, even though he knows you are lying of your knowledge of it, you bag the intelligence of cops.

Obviously there would be cops out there that wouldn't know their arse from their face, but the majority of cops would obviously be smarter than you.
