Cadmoon Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Since when is crossing double white lines an impoundable offence? It's not, it sounds like a cop wrongly impounded them.

t5iv Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 It does sound like wrongful impoundment. Whilst fighting it will still result in the car physically being impounded for those seven days, your mates be eligible for a suspended sentence and thus a little more leniancy next time.

As I said, the phisical impoundment isn't that much of an issue it's the first impoundment offence I'd want removed.

Bunta Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Isnt the first type 1 offense not an impoundment? And I spent a few hours reading over the legislation when it came out and I am fairly certain that things like low and loud are not on the list of things that can get you impounded unless they are in the context of somthing like racing, burnouts ect. I would be contesting it too, sounds like a case of police throwing shit and seeing what will stick.

First Type 1 is 30 days impoundment and first Type 2 is 7 days impoundment. Let me get googling.

Cadmoon Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well by that definition they were too low so they get done for a type 2.

sneakey pete Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 So, if they were all on their second defect then that would make sense...

Ants Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well by that definition they were too low so they get done for a type 2. It does Mike. However, the problem I see here is that none of us here except for Kiwiphil were present and cannot make a full conclusion unless you have all the necessary facts. It is possible the cop stuffed up It is possible that the cop didn't stuff up I have question though...... Say the police officer was in the wrong and you wanted to fight the offense / infringement What would be the procedure and would this involve the requirement to be represented by a lawyer / legal representative and associated costs?

Bunta Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I wish I could find the info I mined last year on all of this, Tony was right, I got them backwards I always do. There was something in the "prescribed sections" that made it really not as bad as it sounds. You have to did through 3 separate pieces of legislation but eventually you get all the info you need. Seems strange that all of the people pulled over would have been on their second offense Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/790/#findComment-7257576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you have to request a court hearing and then bear all the associated costs. If you show the cop made a mistake you may get costs awarded to you but then again you may not.

Costs vs benefits I will most likely make a visit this week to my friendly QMR dept for the Ant-Eater.
