Road Fatalities Vs Anti-hoon Policing

[DRD-00F]

Ok, i think i've said this a numberous times, it's all up the police office on duty, 4 out of 5 they will let you go, They are not there to pull you over and defect you because you have a hotted up car, that's not what HWP and street cops are designed and paid for.

You know, I told my boss today that I was defected, and he asked "Why did he pull you over?"

It was only today that I realised a reason wasn't even given... it wasn't a random breathe test, no drug search, and I wasn't speeding or misbehaving in any way... He pulled me over because of the car that I drive...

Sorry to argue Albert, but this officer of our laws, did EXACTLY the opposite to what you said, just 2 days ago...

[sh@un]

^ I've had that. On the way down to Wakie on Summernats weekend a few years back. Second in a group of 4 'Lines, and I get singled out for a going over- Why? Chrome Impul copies

[Sheng]

I think I'll replace the GT-R badges with Volvo ones when I get my R35 ...

Let's not...

Ok, that's illegal, under the law enforcement act, section 99(2), says 'A police officer may, without a warrant, arrest a person if the police officer suspects on reasonable grounds that the person has committed an offence under any Act or statutory instrument' and also 'The arrest is made in circumstances sanctioned by Law; The arrester notifies the arrestee as to the fact of his arrest; A suffcient act of the arrest to detain the liberty of the arrestee, by words or action, or both; The arrester notifies the arrestee as to the reason(s) for his arrest.

In your case, the officer must state the reason(s) that why he pulled you over, and what he is going to do with your vechicle, i.e looking for little ones, child porn, black dildo etc...but let not go that far

So what i'm saying, what he did was un-lawful, and you could put up with a good fight in court if you have all the facts.

Pulled over 13 times for 'random breath tests' in the past 2.5 years. Never been fined, defected or lost any points.

You doing good lol !

Owned the car 3 years, daily, pulled over once

[scathing]

LOL that would be a joke if they were aiming for zero deaths. People are goin to die. Thats just wat happens. Only way to stop this as far as i can see is to remove all vehicles from our roads. Hmm dunno how this would go down with the people tho??

As long as we use vehicles, people will die.

Why is it a joke?

If you aim for something considered unachievable, then "fair enough" is never "good enough". You keep doing your best to get closer and closer to that goal.

If you just say, "Oh, lets aim for 200 fatalities nationally a year, because people are sure to die)" then what's the incentive to save those other 199 lives if you manage to drop below that target?

Its accepting that half-arsed attitude that's half the problem with society these days.

If you aim for perfection and just miss, there's no dishonour in what you've achieved.

I think the police are aiming to have everyone drive drive the same car, all stock as rock, lol.

I can see the future already. Everyone drivin round in KIA Rio's or some sh!t.

Hmm that would suck. Think i would go over seas if that happened.

Getting the vehicle death toll to zero seriously is the RTA's plan. They're been working away on their first plan for a few years, it's called 2012. Basically the idea is that one day technology will provide the ultimate solution, but in the mean time they can reduce the toll by changing people's behaviour and ideas. i.e. "No one thinks big of you"

The plan is broken into 3 parts.

Safer Roads

Safer Vehicles

Safer People

And about the driving around in kia rias... they're trialling an 'Intelligent Speed System" in some cars around wollongong right now, so maybe speed limited cars with Big Brother helping us behind the wheel is the future. Who knows...

[JAS-25T]

Safer roads is a big one.

Especially down here in the Gong.

The vehicle safety is driven by the car manufacturers.

Driver education and Safer roads is what the RTA should focus on.

[Sheng]

He wasn't arrested Bert. Just pulled over.

In his case, same laws applies.

[JAS-25T]

Really?

[Sheng]

Yeap

Unfortunately, the police follow the same set of law while on road and or on call.

[JAS-25T]

Yeah I get what you mean,

but what constitutes an "arrest" as opposed to a "search" in want for a better term. If there is any difference in their definition that is.

Anyone got links to police law? hehehe

[Sheng]

You have pm

[fatz]

mmm speed adaption

mmm

it does exsist

you can already buy it... however accuracy is very questionable on local streets

I probably wouldn't bother, as I don't know what he would have written down... He just came up to me and said I'm blah blah blah from bleh bleh bleh, could you please shut the engine off, step out of the car with your keys and hand me your license.

I made him repeat it a few times cause of the traffic buzzing by, and the fact that he was speaking straight into his helmet, I couldn't hear a word he said...

Either way, next time I get pulled over, make sure you're with me Sheng

[Sheng]

lol, just tell them you knows me

It's not a half arsed attitude, it's a realistic attitude.

As for being half the problem with society these days, I'd put it closer to 1%.

In his case, same laws applies.

Can you explain how it applies when the power to stop the vehicle comes from S36A.

He was stopped for either breath test or a breach of regulations. He said he may not have heard the reason. Nonetheless he was not arrested. I can't see how S99 does apply.

[Sheng]

Ok. let's just disregard the Sections for now.

The police have this thing called 'Sanction by law', which means He/she must state the reason(s) for your arrest, Unless it's under a special circumstances, i.e, Johnney Shitbag robs a bank, police comes in and negotiate with him, sprays him, then cuffs him. So it's pretty obvious that he did something wrong. in Doof's case. he got pulled over, officers could at least tell him something like "Ok, mate, we are here to defect your car, or we are here to search your car, because i have suspicions that you have drugs in your car..."

Doof replies something like: "No worries officer, i have nothing to hide, do what ever you like.."

Ok now, you may ask "Well he(Doof) knew that he have lot's of defects in his car, which is a crime by the books. And the officers knew that he(Doof) knew that oh shit i have a lot of defects in my car, and I'm gonna get done.."

BUT.

Whatever the police know or has a suspicion of, does not encounter with What Doof knows. Doof might say "Oh, i didn't know i have those defects, and i didn't know i have those drugs under my backseat. " Office: " Yeah, but it's your car, you drives it, you own it." Doof:" Yeah, that doesn't mean i have to know everything about my car, people sit in it, people puts stuff in it, other people drives it, and officer which section says i have to check everything in my car before i drives. "

I hope this clears up a bit.

I'm not a defence lawyer nor a prosecutor. But rules are there, is not up to me nor the parliament to asking every office to do their job right.

ps please don't pm me to be your lawyer for your traffic offences lol.

For those of you did, i have pmed yous back.
