Birds Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 This is why China is an autocracy...it's just cheaper for you guys to let someone take over and you're too tight ass to do anything about it. Same thing will happen here. We don't stand up to these fines and bullshit; we won't be standing up to bigger threats to our basic rights.

GTR-N1 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Tis a case of, "Bureaucracy wins over commonsense!" again if it's not fought! Besides, it's the principle of the thing!

xALmoN Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 F*ck that, I don't have a concession card. I'm already pissed off about having to pay $41 for a noise test, let alone another $10 to catch a tram to EPA headquaters. you're asian and you dont even know the art of fare evasion? hold myki in hand, be vigilant, tap when you spot those kents outside.

Ha, you guys are amateurs. Before MYKI came in, it was a case of "Oh, me solly. Me no spick engleesh" whenever the inspectors came around. If you were a white caucasian male, probably wouldn't of worked. But because I'm an white caucasian male trapped in an asians body, it's very believable. As soon as the inspector gets off the train, I'd be like "Damn flamin' snake in the grass, that was a close one mate.

Leroy Peterson Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 the amazing thing about myki is you can go to the CBD without touching-on, attempting to touch-off through the gate and when it doesnt work, go up to the person supervising and say its not working and they will (no questions asked) let you through. done it twice now. especially effective at peak hour when theres a queue. Sorry, back on topic. Are we EPAing government vehicles yet?

Won't do it for a while yet though, cos I noticed the other day there was a "Anonymous" viewer of this thread. EPA is watching..... i have a very convincing fob accent, because i am fob, but unfortunately, what i got was "it does not matter whether you understand me or not, you hav to follow the rules" Ahhh my friend, you have plenty to learn. You keep stringing it out for as long as possible and make it difficult for them to communicate with you to the point they drop a racist remark thinking you won't understand and then BOOM!!! You drop the accent and now you've got the mofo on the defence. Long story short: he apologises, you nark up, he decides to drop the fine if you promise to not report him, EPA HQ blows up. Everyone wins. The End. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/422842-falsely-accused-of-excessive-noise/page/6/#findComment-6811088 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R31Nismoid Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (DUH! I wrote to you in the email saying I was there!) BUT not even close to the road/time I was apparently spotted on! Ah see you told them TOO much. As with all negotiation and Govt body related - Only say what you need to. Should've just given them proof about the 2-2.30pm part and left it at that. THEN play the next card if they made up another "approximation". Still though - you are entitled to see who it was that made the report, and the paperwork associated under freedom of information. I'd write another letter if you were NOT in the area at the said time, outlining it all and have a quick look at some freedom of information. Hell even put it in the letter they provide the proof of the report, as they are legally required to do Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/422842-falsely-accused-of-excessive-noise/page/6/#findComment-6811685 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure I've seen them handing out fines in hoodies Unfortunatley for them, I dress up undercover occasionally too............ as an asian village fisherman i concede. master. You have been trained my son. Now go forth and unleash your fare-evading fury! Ah see you told them TOO much. As with all negotiation and Govt body related - Only say what you need to.

Hell even put it in the letter they provide the proof of the report, as they are legally required to do In hindsight, yeah I did give them too much information. But having said that, I would not have imagined a governing body like EPA to take advantage of that and stoop that low in order to get someone (an innocent someone too mind you) to do an exhaust noise test. I have tried and tried and tried, but they simply refuse to give any further detail in regards to the incident. Sounds very suss, but not a massive amount I can at this stage.

blah_blah Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 You need to be more authoritative If it is 'law' that they are required to hand over that information. Then find the section reference. And quote it when they say no. If you tell them they are required by law, I'm sure shitting of their dacks or let me get my manager for you will ensue.

Police do it all the time with fines etc if they get details wrong, EPA doing the same comes as no surprise.
