Can The Police Bring Up Defect Details In Their Cars?

[DaGr81]

hey all as per topic title, can the nsw police force bring up details of previous defects for our cars in their police car computer thingy? or do they just bring up offences? i dont know someone explain it to me, the other night i got pulled over again and the copper asked me has someone issued me a warning for the exhaust being too big i said yeah i got a defect for it (although i had cleared it already) and said they have given me 14 days since last thursday to fix it, and he said thanks see you later, do i assume from this that they are unable to bring up defect records?

[Sheng]

Yes. They can bring up anything of everything of you and your vehicle from their database. i.e computer thingy.

Police officers are not there to defect people, they are there to enforce the law and work with the community, let's just say this coppa

did the right thing and probably had other important things to worry about.

Tell that to the cops who pull me over for no apparent reason to defect me because i drive a skyline.

Do you have defectables?

They tend to do that if you drives an import, it might be a junior coppa, where he/she just came out the academy still a bit hot headed and follows everything by the book.

+ I don't know what cops are like in Melbourne, they might have different discretion regarding imports.

Cops are tops!

I have no problem with the police, they're just doing they're job, and I don't get hassled much...

It's the laws I have a problem with... Half of them are like they're written by a work experience kid...

Yeah, pretty funny coming from my mouth, 2 days after being defected huh

But yeah, I can be pretty clever when I'm sober

[Modena]

What for?

[DRD-00F]

Illegal modifications of course

[UWISSH!]

my bro is a cop and i asked him this same question the other day

the deffects stay on the system for up to 2 months i think he said and they will only remain on the system if they are real serious defects

[DRD-00F]

Ahhh... good to know

If it's alright with your brother, I may have some other questions for him too later on, I'm having trouble finding actual wording of certain laws...

What area of law enforcement does he work in?

[UWISSH!]

he's a constable and he also does work in sumthing called a tag team or sum crap like that

haha yeh its all good, just hit me up with wot ever you wana know n ill see wot i can do for you, im constantly asking him about these types of questions

[TTT]

I just don't understand why people keep complaining about getting pulled over for nothing.

I've had over 15 cars with 90% of them turbos.

3 of them skylines.

a 200sx.

2 Liberty RS Turbo's with exhaust louder than most skylines can ever muster up.

Never ONCE have I been pulled over for anything other than RBT.

NSW or QLD.

Never.

they don't do it for no reason.

[DRD-00F]

Maybe that's why your not complaining? I don't complain about starvation cause I eat a lot...

see the very simple point I'm trying to make here?

depends on the night there having too. iv had cops that just give me a breath test and off they go but i also have had a cop that was pissed off and was being rude to me from the get go. i was nice and polite and got red stickered my for a set of 18s and nothing else.
