Preventing Defect Detection?

[GTR-N1]

He was pulled over by the Police in Marion St Leichhardt.

He's been pulled over before in his highly modified donk Alfa 33 and got pinged.

Plan B:-

He keeps both of his 'Remotes #1 & #2' on him at all times when in this car.

He keeps them separated from his keys.

When he's been pulled over this time, he got out of his car and locked it with #1.

The officer asked him to pop his bonnet, he said, "Sure Officer" and pulled out #2.

But #2 didn't work. Then he presses it again in front of the officer and nothing happens. He said, "I'll have to go back home and get the other one then."

He got let off.

There was one flaw that the officer didn't pick up on, but that didn't matter.

Comments?

This is the most laughable strategy I've heard for a while, even more so that a 'lawyer' came up with it.

Will not work:

* I'm pretty sure its defectable to not have proper 'control' of your vehicle, much like the 'broken bonnet latch' trick

* By going home you will need to leave the car where you stopped it, hope its not on a highway / no-parking / no-stopping zone

* Chances are the cop will call in a tow-truck to move it if point 2 is true, chances are it'll be moved to an impound yard.

Yeah some lawyer this guy is...

Very good, but obviously the officer didn't twig that he still must have the keys to drive the car and the same keys will also open the doors.

Would be noisy but meh.

Am I correct, do I win with my simple non random non rant (answer)?

The alarm would go off with just the keys, and if the cop said we shall shift it for you, you could pull out the #1 remote and tell him you will give it one more go

not a bad ploy me thinks. alarm would go off but depending on the alarm it would turn itself off after a while. door would still open and you would still be made to open the bonet. maybe say your alarms playing up and whenever the coppa puts his head under the bonet turn your alarm siren on to make it uncomfortable on his ears and hope he doesnt take to it with his gun.

Cops don't use their guns in australia, what are you on about......It's not like the car is holding two knives or something

[satanic]

You obviously haven't been watching the news if you think cops don't use their guns...

[PM-R33]

Ummm read my post again, i think you missunderstood the point....

[Bakes]

Not bad at all

[4teecal]

Two points to make.

If you think it will stop the defect, it wont. You will merely be directed to an inspection station.

You commit an offence by obstructing the officer. The lawyer risks being removed from practice if it became common knowledge that he knowingly assisted in the commission of an offence.

Not a real smart lawyer.

The proof being?

Remote is broken/battery flat, unless ofcourse he is searched and his duplicity is exposed.

But yeah hardly worth the risk.

and if they were to find out what he'd done.. he'd also be charged with supplying false information to police

driving an Alfa + being in Leichhardt, should be a defect anyway
