Police Watch Car Clubs

[mistamidget]

the Police need to get out there and catch the REAL criminals... pulling over 11 people for driving Nissan skylines... Come off it...

Big joke if you ask me

What actually do real work. No money in that for them.

When I lived in Montrose we got burgled 8 time over 20 years. Guess how many times anything was recovered?

Damn. I'll probably get defected again now for saying that. Better go and make sure there is no dust on my indicator light globes.

[Downforce]

did you really get done for having dirty indicators?

Nup, but I'm sure that would be defectable, so I'm not taking any chances. I got defected for having my tires within 1mm of the tread wear indicator ie "almost" bald tires.

I can't really add any positive's in relation to this. It's been a bad couple of weeks for Vic pol that's for sure. I have never targeted car clubs on organized cruises where everyone is behaving as that should be encouraged in my opinion.

It's things like this that turn car enthusiasts anti police and will only encourage more illegal "hoon" style behavior which is on the increase IMO. I worked a special traffic operation a month ago where 15 cars were impounded in space of 5 hours in eastern suburbs alone.

It's getting to the stage on some days there are more TMU units on in area than general duties patrol units. Little wonder that crime is on increase and there are more and more cars being pulled over and fined/nou etc.

Would have to agree to the above, When i visted last time in melbourn just before christmas, (early nov) i noticed a lot more HWY patrol cars then last time i was in the same area, plus thier was a lot more aticals in the paper about hooning.

Maby members of clubs and the police (those that respect and understand car enthusiastes) start puting presser on the goverment to help get more race track's open on a more regula bases.

You do have calder park most friday nights, but who wonts to drive from frankston to calder and back for potently no more then 5 runs if they get thier early enought.

Winton is 2 hours away (agan long drive) and sandown is not open that offten, and look what happend when a meet was cancled (noble park riots)

If somthing like up here in the NT can be established i think it will help all, North australian motor sport club run on avg 1 race meet and 1 motakana a month some times more, the race meets, inc drifitng, lap springt, improved production, commonhore cup, and most meets are $66 for members and motakana #30.

also in the dry season thier is drag racing by hiddenvally drag racing association (which have just upgraded the track to international standed) on a weekly basis.

And cause of this the cop generly leave us alone and deal with the drunks on a weekend in darwin CBD.

When I was a kid and my dad was a TMU cop when they were called TOGies he'd take us to drag races where the local police had their own drag cars... ...There were three of them if I remember correctly... ...And they'd take them to schools and TAFEs and they were both useable cop cars and drag cars... ...This was the mid 80s when I was seven... ...so I could be wrong...

must be even more frustrating to be on the inside and see its not working... and to open your mouth is probably career suicide... so to keep your job to pay the bills you have to go along... and if you actually want a promotion you have to go against most of the reasons you probably became a cop in the first place... just like any other business really, your not there to help people just to keep your mouth shut, make the stats look good and keep the cash rolling in

Truer words have not been said Nick! You don't get anywhere in the workforce with good morals and standing up for what is right

Sure is a nice fantasy though.

every time i hear about this stuff i always think of the good cops like graham that are stuck in the middle of it all.

must be so frustrating

well it makes sense, they went out on a SATURDAY night which means they would have went though a defect bus, not to say that police hours and fines/epa's were worth it.

i went for a drive in the hills on a friday night on the 25th last month got to the Warburton Highway and got defected and EPA'd by G.RUST, somehow i forgot it was a friday night
