v_s_p_e_c Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 So i had a mate who was pulled over on new years eve by an unmarked cop with out a radar (was following behind my friend). So my friend got this fine in the mail that said he was driving 15 over the limit 6 demerit points (during the DD period) but this cop apparently didn't show any identification. So he was wondering if radar-less cars can actually hand out fines for this? * Yes he knew he was speeding but not 15 over Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207153-a-police-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

R34NOS Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 But they do record your statement so if your friend agreed that time that he was speeding then dnt worry about going to court unless he is loosing licence Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207153-a-police-question/#findComment-3665957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJD001 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Find out if their speedo was calibrated. Y would their speedo need to be calibrated?? The police drive around in near new cars.. I have heard of their radar guns having calibration problems, but i think thats been sorted. The police can pace u and then work out how quick u are going, then book u, that either by pulling you over or getting rego details and sending it in the mail. IMHO it wouldnt be worth contesting at court. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/207153-a-police-question/#findComment-3666249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve33 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 from what i have heard they cant book you without a radar unless you admit to it because they cant back themselves up.

WARLORD Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 take it to court 80% of the time incorrect police procedures or the officer is a no show to court or there is no evidence supporting the offence . that s what a good friend has told me who works in the courts .

den001 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 that is completely wrong. he is completly right my friend... sorry mate but if a police officer cannot prove your crime they have no chance in court, i had a big runin with the police and i dont get my licence back until 3 weeks, trust me ive been there and in big shit aswell.... not just small shit 15 over... the cop lied in his statements so i hired a 10 grand lawyer to f**k his asshole, this was proven in court when i went, that a cop cannot fine you unless he has evidence that holds no discrepancies that its wasn't you, if there is any doubt that you didn't commit the crime you will be proven innocent... seen it first hand, been in this position first hand...

killabeez Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I got done a couple years back when I went past a cop (he was traveling on the other side towards me) he did a u turn and said he estimated my speed at 15km over the limit, no radar, does that mean I could have taken it to court as he wasnt traveling in the same dorection as me and had no radar?
