Pound Road Hallam Blitz?

[Italiazr1]

Just drove home on pound rd in hallam today at about 3.45pm

cops are doing some sort of blitz not sure what it is

i got waived through but there is a whole heap of cars parked in an adjacent car park

and about 10-15 police talking to drivers and writing things down on note pads??

anyone know wahts going on or get pulled in??

i thought i was going to get picked on for sure but all was good..

Probably license/warrant checks with the new rego reading cameras.

[VSPECT]

cant be licence checks coz i got waived passed..and my car is under my name (suspended licence)...not driving though...but still should have got pulled over if that was the case....but yes it was very wierd...first time happened here in the last 7 yrs...coz i live near there i noe..worst they had there was a booze bus..tht was also only 3 times in the last 7 yrs...

also there were TONS!!! of cop cars driving around in the back streets too...something must be up...

[htial]

They've been doing it in Springvale and Dandenong of late too... ...they might have just waived you past because they had way too many people... ...I got pulled over because they were having a quiet day and they just did an RBT on me...

[VSPECT]

got wordsx from couple of guys i know and they said they were going through the rego checks and rwc of every car driving past...lol...knowing this area, a lot ppl prob got done...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

what do you mean by rwc man?

[KamikazeNinja34]

I think he means roadworthiness. Ie looking to score their quota for defects

[VSPECT]

OHH!!! sorry...ya cass is right...they were checking if the cars were roadworthy or not....they pulled everyone to this little car park and filled it up with cars they think were not eligible to be on the roads....also the number of cops driving around in the back street was just insane...every street i was driving in, they were there...come in undercover cars, some in divivan and some in the ford territories...something must have happened for this to take place...but hvnt heard or read anything about something in the area...anyone knows why they did this?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

probably wanted an air-hockey table for the station

[Sunkist]

probably because of the street racing incident in Dandenong? I know they've been looking at cars since.

so glad i own a wagon..

once again purely a display for the public, some one dies due to illegal street racing, police blame modified car owners, public outrage that police didnt do something to stop it, police do something for a few days to show a presence and reassure dumb arse public who believe it, police go back to normal duties.

Off topic, anyone see the street drags on Princess Highway from North road outbound from the city on Saturday night around 2am?

Mate of mine busted over Sunday morning, said they were using all 4 lanes, people filming cars running quarters.

Said the street was smoking from the launches!

Didn't think it went down like that anymore.

You would think they would learn.

I saw this around carrum downs and another at hallam today. Saw a heap of falcons and commodores on the side with cops speaking to them. They didnt stop me, Thankyou kakimoto exhaust

[nakuma]

saw this today on dande-hastings road on way to work around 1430

no imports pulled over, all shitty aussie cars, they just let me drive on through

yeah the Westernport i went through but didnt get picked on, but there was about 10 cars there and the van with a camera at the roundabout. I also seen them on the dandy bypass, boundary rd mordy and eastlink last week before that accident even happened..Not sure whats got there knickers in a knot but Its a blitz alright..

On a side note seen a sticker on back window of a car today

"VICTORIA - THE NANNY STATE"

and another had the word 'FINED' written next to his number plate..

I like them both..

[KamikazeNinja34]

Not even a nanny state anymore though. It's well and truly martial law. The police state would be more effective

I think there has been a massive increase in drags along Princess Highway on Fri/Sat nights. We are always getting jobs for it and I know there has been large number of impounds along there.

Fair enough thats nothing new, but what has that got to do with pulling up every person they can, that is just going about their daily commute?
