Are Cops Getting Lazy These Days?

[UNR33L]

since when are fmic's illegal? or do you have a pod as well?

[ashneel]

i have a pod as well but its covered. but even if i didnt have a pod my return pips is running under the battery tray which makes it illegal. cops knows these and thats the first thing they look for with our cars as 90% of the skylines have this setups.

everytime iv been pulled over first hting they look for is the cooler.

Have a look in the vic section, there was a guy who got his hole in the inner gaurd engineered easily.

i reckon they are getting lazy...other day i saw a car try to make the yellow light(turned rd just as he approched the turn) and he went through...what was funny was that there was a undercover cop right behind him trying to quickly make the turn aswel....the cop didnt even pull him over or anything...but if it was a skyline or p-plater...then guranteed to get pulled up

Poor form on their part with a flash light. A quick blip of the red and blues to pull you over and give the car the once over would have sufficed. To shine a spotlight at different parts of the car and make a smart ass comment with the window down doesnt portray them in a good light at all.

ever since i lost the magical coloured Square from my front and rear windows... not a single pull over!!.. and i ALWAYS drive at night!

[blags]

Im avoiding driving at night and to popular areas thus saving me from getting pulled over.....Im on my P's

I only drive to work and when i really need to.

tonight at around 8 was at the airstream in glenny and i saw the same unmarked cop car on springvale road going up and down for the 2 hours we were there pulled over nothing but imports. he literally pulled over a black R33 was there for 20 min, went back on road and pulled over an s14 up ahead. i dont think cops are getting lazy just some arent assigned to pull over every single car that has exhaust or rims or whatever

+1, exactly my thoughts.

I do that and I'm 30, obviously with no P's.

you shouldve called the cops on them... complaining theres some dickhead shinning a torch at you trying to blind you. (loud speaker or car phone thing ofcourse!)

I see it from the inside and I can tell you 90% of members do as little as possible and everything to avoid work. I am personally getting very frustrated with it at present. Things so bad that you even struggle to get back up unit when your at say big brawl or man armed with knife and call out for help and nobody even wants to come and help you.

I have been that busy that I have probably only pulled over 10 cars in last 10 shifts on road. I have become a magnet and catch crooks at almost everyjob I go to. Probably because I actually go to the jobs and get there as fast as I can so try to catch them. Most of these jobs too have been out of my area and other's units have been given the job become magically tied up or get there as slow as possible so we end up doing all the work.

It's also been hard with the fires because most people instead of geting their days off have been made to do 12 hr shifts up at fires and then work the normal shifts on top of that.

I ended up working 70 hrs O/T in one fornnight ontop of my normal shifts with overtime processing crooks and overtime at fires and only had 2 days off in 25 days at one stage. I've had days when I have worked 20 hrs straight becasue I caught 5 offenders at end of shift then had to be back in 5 hours ended up working 13 hours after that because of more crooks and my next shift which was rostered day off was another 8 hrs turn around to work 13 hrs at fires.

I just wanted to give you little insite to how things are at present. Morale and work ethic worst it's been by a mile since I have been in the job.

Graeme, atleast there is you out there

Keep it up and hopefully your dedication rubs off on your colleagues.

[WYTSKY]

keep up the good work mate, its people like you that help make civilians feel safer.

honestly though, is this illegal behaviour on the cops behalf? or are they aloud to do that?

[gdogzgtr]

Mate, I wouldn't say it's illegal to do what they did. Lazy and stupid yes but not illegal. As stated before if it had caused collision wouldn't have been good but I'm sure they would have just denied it. It's probably good more lazy members like this if you have modified cars. Not going to get NOU, EPA or fined if they are too lazy to do it.

Nice to see cops actually working their butts off doing something useful for the community rather than the few who's life mission is to defect as many imports on small technicalities (which have no effect on driver or pedestrian safety) as possible.
