lol Rhys i hope you are joking about the magistrate comment, they are the ones letting off these repeat offenders with warnings, following the news lately theres only been 1 story about a magistrate who handed out a fair decision.

the magistrate can only do what the laws allow them, the legal process is a bitch and you cant make decisions based on gut feelings, you have to follow the letter of the law and if the accuses has a good lawyer then there is only so much you can do in certain sittuations.....

where as a cop follows there gut feelings, they see a skyline and there gut feeling is that they can defect it easily and you have no legal representation to defend yourself as the laws have been molested to the point where a cop can defect a brand new car

But if you take away those laws, and make things more lenient, the over 30's get angry that the hoon laws aren't enforced enough, and they are the ones who vote! every cause has an effect

and thus is the problem with australia.............we are slowly becoming a nanny country thanks to our aged population and tightning government controll :bunny:

in a perfect world, youd be right, rhys.

but last i checked, its far from a perfect world. a magistrate at the end of the day is just like you and me, they get scared, they get cocky, they get bored, they get intimidated.

they get greedy.

*shrug*

lol i try be a bit more positive about it but i fear your right :bunny:

Oh and Craig, you have seen me, if i caught someone trying to steal my car, id lose the fight, so why bother. I try my very hardest to keep my car out of situations where it could be stolen, like at home, my car is alarmed and immobilised in front of my mums astra, which is in front of a locked roller door, with my dads toyota hilux behind it, and a big f**k off heavy double locked sliding gate out the front.

Get a big dog. A HUGE dog. And don't feed it much. PERFECT security, until a mailman comes to the door....

"BUCK! Put that mailman down now!!"

OMNOMNOMNOM

"DROP! DROP THE MAILMAN!"

*whimper*

-D

you can pick a cop hater a mile away, i love how no one ever says anything about good cops, but theres a 20 page discussion if a thread comes up about a cop being an ass. A cop is just the first step, if they get caught, they go before a magistrate, but you don't hear anyone bagging out magistrates for their poor sentences. I agree that the police are unfair at times, ill be the first to admit that. And effort is rarely shown at the scene of an attempted car theft, such as not taking prints or following up. The sad thing is, there are SOOOO many car jackings/ attempted thefts in Adelaide, if the police spent all their time tracking them all down, people would whinge about police not out on the beat in public area, or not arresting real criminals.

my 9 yen.

most sense made in this thread so far

i think the magistrate are very fair and reasnoble :), its the laws behind them that need to be changed

im gonna stick by street justice cause i know the police wont do anything..........even if they manage to catch the people its a slap on the wrist. so id rather slap em around a lil and send them on there way :)

*cough*

yes that is true but there are minimums and maximums that they can give, and a lot of the time they dont even give minimums

i think the level of "bias" at magistrate level is ALOT less than your average coppa

where are you living man, its clearly not in our society

and thus is the problem with australia.............we are slowly becoming a nanny country thanks to our aged population and tightning government controll :)

um the problem with Australia and not having renewable population is WE KEEP KILLING OUR CHILDREN

very true and magistrate can be swayed by all mannor of things if they had a fight with the wife the night before, there child from interstate is coming back for christmas, one of the other magi's touched them up in the locker room you get my drift large papers bags full of other paper products

do a search on what "truth in sentencing" is all about.

Ask any cop about the frustrations of finding a crook, risking his life in some cases to capture him, then get him to court where a Supreme or High Court Justice gives him a little slap with a fraction of a precedent sentence which he'll serve less than half the time..........all in the name of rehabilitation.

I recently spent a week in Melbourne did a fair bit of driving.

Here in Adelaide there are a hell of a lot more police patrolling the streets compared to Melbourne.

One thing that was interesting.. Almost no imports over there. Here in Adelaide you see an import be it Nissan or Toyota in almost every pack of cars at the lights.

I guess they are all at local drag STRIPSSSS with a big plural S!!! or the local track. :)

Heart of the city and a few mins out at Coburg.

They were about but nothing like here in Adelaide.

i agree, when i was over there i hardly saw a stock import let alone a modded one :)

    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
