haha Thats the one!!

A case was thrown out of court not all that long ago from the hoon laws so the person did not lose his licence as well as have his car impounded. There is a loop hole.

Read the Aust. constitution or PM me and I will tell you how to get around it. Don't really want to go posting it here

[dan_the_man]

why not post it here?

what part of the consititution?

[RICCA]

bascily stating you cant be charge for the same effence twice

[dan_the_man]

bascily stating you cant be charge for the same effence twice

care to explain?

I think the legislation already states that the hoon laws are contrary to the criminal code.

wouldnt mind hearing more about what r31 chick said though.

[RICCA]

Sorry r32 chick nothing to hide!

Dan as wat i got,

basically it is against the Australian Constitution to penalise someone for the same crime twice eg. you robbed the shop, they can't sentence you twice for robbing that shop once.

It is the same with the hoon law, if your car has already been confiscated before going to court, you have already been sentenced. The police played judge, jury and executioner. Word it well and get the exact codes etc. for it from the Australian Constitution and tell the judge he can't take your licence basically as you have already had your car taken therefore served your sentence.

A case was thrown out last year based on exactly this.

I don't know the exact codes but if you ever got busted it could save your licence!

[dan_the_man]

do you know which case it was?

[RICCA]

I dont no sorry!

[dan_the_man]

bailey?

[RICCA]

Nothing at all

I find the easiest way not to get hoon lawed is to not break the law.. seriously how hard is it? If you get caught doing 20/30+ over the speed limit then you have to take responsibility for your actions, not get all up in arms about how you've been hard done by. Sure there may be exceptions and labeling a certain demographic 'hoons' whilst older drivers escape yellow stickers and biased media articles isn't right, the majority of people here know right from wrong, so it really seems like a non-issue to me.

Why is every one so worried about these laws? Very similar to the uproar caused by people getting busted for drugs etc at summerdayze then complaining the police presence was over the top. The only people complaining about the police are the ones carrying!

beats worrying about lung disease.

There is the potential to get reamed for something you didn't do just because you fit a certain demographic. THAT is what people are up in arms about.

+1

would you like to be pulled over and the cop says

Sorry you got a import i need to check your car ( hoon) and gives you a yellow for doing nothing ?

Thats the other side

[bryno]

Fair enough, that's the exception I was talking about then. I've never been treated unfairly by the police so I haven't had to worry about it. I still believe there's a reason why people get stickered for 'no reason', much like some people seem to have a lot of accidents that aren't their fault.

[R31 Chick]

Hey Dan, it was a friends son. This guy knows the Australian Constitution off the top of his head, nothing can go against it. The only way to change the constitution is through a bill, I am pretty certain they will never change that one.

Even Local Councils are against the Constitution, said friend doesn't pay and hasn't paid rates for years. Yes the Council took him to court, he said his case and said that should they pursue it he will make it very public. They dropped it. I can go on for ages about it, remind me next time I see ya.

This guy is even a retired police officer, a very smart man.

[bubba]

Wow.. I wish I didn't have to pay rates.. more money to go on the car! lol

[RICCA]

yer would be keen seeing it or learn mor about this matter!
