Ever Dobbed Someone In?

[funkymonkey]

Whatever happened to the dob in a hoon hotline?

there's a bigass billboard with a hotline number on the entrance to the Western Ring Road on the Greensborough Bypass. Sounds like it's privately run though, no signage about council or police involvement.

[bozodos]

how do you agree with both ash and sami?

thing with that hoon hotline is that you've gotta also be willing to testify in court (at least you had to beforehand), especiallly if the cops didn't get them red handed. I don't like to dob, especially not in a rural area, cause once you've made a name for yourself as a dogging bastard then people go out of their way to make life hard for you.

agree with ash, that some mods improve emissions, flaming sami coz hes acting like a knob.

sorry if it wasnt very clear

yeh u could be right, some pricks tryin to make a buck outta people probably. I recall once now tellin a cop that a guy on his phone cut me off n I have his plates n time of event. Cop shrugged it off n said he has to see it. So makes me wonder if anything actually is done about the more minor offences? Had a bottle thrown at my mates car n cops said they'd look into it. Makes me wonder...

dob in a hoon is stupid. i got a letter saying that someone saw me tailgating and speeding at a time i was at work its ridiculous. i called the number which was the fawkner traffic police and told them about it and he said they probably got the number plate wrong and it happens often, i then asked does this go on any record of mine and he said no so hopefully it doesnt because i dont want some made up crap on my clean record.

te police cant do anything unless the witness is willing to go to court, what they do is bully or trick you to confess what you did and bang your done and they dont need a witness. very simple keep your mounth shut and dont say you did or didnt do it if questioned, if you say no you didnt do it then goes to court with the witness and proven guilty your in more shit. simply say back to the officer, you have the report of what events have been reported and i have nothing to say about the matter. bang they leave with there tail between there legs.

now i dont mind dobbing in a drunk driver and a excessive hoon but i dont simply dob someone in for doing a skid sometimes it might make my day, more to the point if there putting other ppl a risk other than there own i dont have a issues with making a call.

with the EPA shit, you have to realize that some ppl are not all as lucky as we are and dont have the option to buy a decent car. there are some ppl struggling out there and also realy on there car to get to and from work to just make a living to feed themselfs and family, you take this away from them thats it no work? and who pays the price well us in the end because we pay tax that is then the doll for them. sometimes you have to think about being on the other end of that stick not everyone was delt the best hand of cards in there lifes.

all because you have to smell abit of smokey oil in traffic or you pissed because you get epa all the time and there still driving around? all i can say is grow up maybe move out of the city in a quite country town where the air is freash? and EPA its the price we pay to drive jdm cars nothing going to change that never will so sell your car if you nickers are in that big of a knot about it and buy a prius (hybrid thingy whateva they are).

peace out.

Me and a Mate once dobbed a guy in for txting on his mobile. It was a 110km zone on a busy highway and he nearly had 4 head ons in under 2 minutes. Althought my mate was driving and making the "dobbing" phone call to the cops...

I should of called the cops and dobbed him.

but back to serious... I didn't feel bad at all because if the guy had a head on and killed 3 kids and a mother / father then it would of been our fault for not preventing / reporting it..

Even if it was the cops pulling him over for a warning... it would make him think twice before doing it again.

Final thought:

We all go silly in our cars once and a while. We just need to pick the right place to do it...

Any1 that is dobbing ppl in for breaking road rules/EPA with any intention other that trying to block up the system, u guys are seriously rats. Geez, i thought it was the baby boomer generation dobbing ppl in.

In the case of some1 doing vandalism/robbery/assault then of course dob in. Theres a diff b/w trying to make a situation better and simply just dobbing ppl in that are doing no harm to u.

[bozodos]

yeah i hope to god none of you dobbers comes here and sees the smokescreen that comes out of my car under WOT LOL.

Great - Sami went quiet, always rely on you though.

Its not to block up the system. It is legitimate smokey vehicles that should be off the road.

The EPA chase after modified cars with laws neraly 20 years old. They are dated and hold zero relevance in many cases.

So it's just getting the system working and focusing on doing some real work is the aim here - like most Gov't departments (or contactors in the EPA's case, they are just going after the easy work - modded cars)

Exactly. I'll happily report an extreme case where someone has/is likely to endanger someone else's life. I wouldn't ever report something minor. How would you feel if you spotted a drunk driver swerving on the wrong side of the road, decided it wasn't your place to report it and then end up hearing that half an hour later they had a head-on with a car packed with a family? You'd feel pretty f*cking shit I'd imagine. Some of us are born with a conscience.

ok u seem to have a hard head

let me break it down to u, u dick knob

1 family: $400/week to live on with 3 kids: cant efford a new car hence get a cheapo

it f**ks up, they dont have money to fix it and its their only form of transport so if u dob them in then they dont have money to fix it and dont have a car to go work with/take kids to school/ go shopping in

on the otherhand f*kheads like u who have millionair parents dont give a rats ass about having an EPA as u can just give it to a mechanic with a lump sump of money and BINGO they do it all for u

THATS my point

i said before that i wont reply but u seem to be getting more and more stupid by each reply

you dont phase me with your shitty "need a tissue" reply

just coz u are a moderator doesnt make u any better then any one of us it just means ur good at sucking dick

im out

peace out

EVER heard of public transport?

The people you are describing sounds like the typical "sits at home & do nothing but leeches off center link" kind.

Whats more, I have to pay tax in order to keep these bloody leeches alive...

So no, if they can't pay to get their car up to standard then take public transport. I have no sympathy for center link leeches.

I have to pay to get my car up to standard & I only have a crappy part time job so I don't see how it should be any different for them.

Finally even if I'm the world's richest person, I still give a rat ass about having an EPA as it costs time & money.

ye coz there is public transport everywhere right?

and who said they dont work? how would they get their $400/week?

u have too much hate son u need a root or something to releaf yourself before coming to assumptions... just coz there are ppl out there on centrelink doesnt mean everyone is

only about 6-7% of ppl are on centrelink from wat i know

u dont have a wife and 3 kids do u? and rent and all the bills to pay with a part-time job

if u do then i highly doubt u could efford to keep your car running and keeping the family alive on a "crappy part time job"

pull the sticks out of your asses and see the other side of the fence

no argument there

its a hassle for all of us. my whole point is that u wouldnt have to worry about it as much as someone who cant efford it

guys sami has a point, there are bludger that sit on the dole and choose to have "worse" cars( not a fan either and piss me off big time), others are forced into situations (eg. immigrations, GFC lose of job, parents passing away etc)

While i would report a driver that is blind drunk (which i have previously) or someone that is SERIOUS danger to others, i don't think it my job to start reporting P-plater/ students/ less fortunate who are just trying to make some cash, driving to work. Once i finished school (yr12) i bought a Sh*t box and work 30min away from home, starting at 6am. What public transport service can i catch?? anyone?

After the 4 months, just before uni started i managed to put aside a packet and bought another car. Everyone has to start somewhere! so i reckon that everyone needs to relax a bit on here and put yourself in someone elses shoe's for a sec and think.

Not really right to judge a book by its cover, but 9 out of 10 times u can tell wat sort of person the driver is just by looking at time; part of the centerlink race team lol or someone that is trying to "work' out of a tough situation.
