Defected

[trel]

I got pulled over on the maroondah hwy last night in ringwood to be told that "im going on the air to let other units know you're in the area, do anything stupid and your car will be impounded" to which my response was WHY WHAT DID I DO? "You're not from this area, I have reason to believe you are here to hoon". I was so pissed off, I just did a u-turn and went home, ruined my night. I wanted to go for a nice drive to the black spur.

i was at kk last night with a mate in his 32 we decided to leave and as we are driving out of fountain gate 5 cop cars and 4 bikes passed us, we parked and walked back.

15 marked cars blocked off all the exits to the carpark and 4 bikes when into the center and started checking cars, there was also an unmarked barina that was driving around fountain gate looking for cars trying to escape!!!

meanwhile, i wonder how many people got bashed in the city last night, while police resources were wasted on bullshit and raising revenue?

[dezz]

can you realy get done for a bent numberplate?

mine doesn't fit into the standard numberplate slot so its bent as well

you're not allowed to mod the plates in any way, so bending, cutting etc will give them one more thing to defect you for...

As for water in the washer bottle, yeah it's petty, but the reasoning is that if you're windscreen gets dirty and obstructs your view, you aren't able to clean it...

You could write to the comissioner or whoever if you really wanted to, but I dare say they're going to be happy with what their officers are doing...

yeah my miss's went Chasers on Chaple St last night ... she said she did not see one cop car at all , no foot patrols or anything, that pissed me off.

felt alright letting her go down to chalpe st cause of all the foot patrol's they say they have, and now they have none cause their out looking for bent numberplates. god damn fools

feel ashamed, i was actually gonna join the police force.

[krzysiu]

So thats exactly what happened. Explains why Beza called me last night

[W0rp3D]

worp if stock r34 na springs fit in your i got some lol.

Thanks for the offer but i just bought some cusco adjustable coil overs off here instead, will be easier than putting in standards then having to change them back after the rwc.

Did the cop mention the adjustable coil overs being illegal, have had a couple of not so reliable sources tell me there illegal today.

[krzysiu]

I thought they were illegal too, but if they are just checking height dont think they will check if they are coilovers.

[UNR33L]

nah bez actually said to them i have adjustable coilovers i can change the height, they didnt care about them

[THR34T]

thanks hamish for the wheel, nah every cop whos asked me about height ive told them i have adjustable coilovers i can change the height with this tool i have in boot. every cop i had so far cept this one didnt care. he was just like CHANGE IT NOW THEN im like okay i gotta take off my rim first and he basically said dont bother in a rude way lol.

i have never heard of them being illegal till that post.. who knows. my mates dad knows the head of TMU.. going to see the REAL list of what is defectable for instead of all this BS made up when they cant find something

Can you also ask him what the go is with measuring the height, where i pulled over the road was not level, in the middle of the car the road would have been higher and since he did me for 30mm too low if i had have been on a flat ground it would have been close to legal.

[W0rp3D]

Should've probably asked to measure the height on flat ground or

ask him to measure the height of his car when it is sitting on the same uneven ground as your car and see if it is legal

He was on a bike

i remember i was with a mate a long time ago, he got defected for "having sharp edges on his front bar"

which of cous he has non. went to the cop theres no sharp edges on his front bar and rubbed his hand all over it and told the cop to do it aswell.

cop was like "well it looks sharp to me, im not going to rub my hand on it"

stupid cops =\

still have a defect on mine aswell

what we really need is a group buy on dodgy rwc's.

hmmm... front bars are usualy plastic or fibreglass, its not like its going to cut anyone badly

sound sike this cop was dead set on defecting your mate for anything even if it makes no sense

i see cars that realy should not be on the road all the time, but yet police pick on the modifiers who take care of their cars

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

in cases such as this (and only if your car is legal or close enough to easily pass an EPA test) simply pull out your phone and record the officer (yes if they are on duty it IS legal) and say you are complaing to the police ombudsman. even is he decided not to book you, complain anyway.

f**k them... the more of us that complain, the more mountains of paperwork they have to go through etc... let THEM be on the shit side of the viscius circle.

Well I can vouch for one. Spent Friday night in hospital with my mate while he was getting stitches in his head after being bottled several times in Springvale.

Whenever you get defected you need to get a rwc.

Not always, I've copped two minors (one a few months ago) and didn't have to get RWC for either (thank god) - just drive to vicroads, they clear it..done!

[UNR33L]
