Well then every cop I have been pulled over is a c*nt.. I always try to be nice but not sucking up their ass nice..

And they just be the biggest wanker about it..

Got pulled over last weekend driving my mum to her mates in a RAV4 along a road that I KNOW cops sit at (60ks) I was going 55 got pulled over..

Cop said I was speeding and as soon as I opened my mouth he was yelling at me trying to get me to say I was speeding, just remember they record the conversation..

He finally let me drive off after searching ME and breathalyser and I literally said hardly anything the whole time

Looks like they have you in their black book, or they just hate you. Bad neighbourhood?

Remember they record your conversation, so ask them to prove you were speeding. Ask them to state their badge number etc. so it's all in the recording.

I wonder if you can record the encounter (legally speaking).

I wouldn't say "bad neighbourhood" Miami, Gold Coast?? Haha

And I really don't think I've been black listed. (No criminal record)

Unless they got me from when I first got my P's going 100ks to 60ks coming off M1.. Lost my liscence for a yr and learnt my lesson. Really hope I was black listed for that :(

Depends on the person wearing the badge I reckon. Perhaps he has pulled you over, or seen you do stuff, or maybe he mistaken you for someone else, or doesn't like your ethnicity, whatever the reason being.

You can.

You just have to inform them politely.

I was thinking that, but what if they can arrest you for recording them? Lol. Privacy laws or something?

Officer: You're being recorded

Me: So are you *points to in-car camera*

I went through a RBT, licence check and "random" vehicle inspection station. When I pulled up I had my phone on record the whole time.

All went to plan until my mate started ringing me. I restarted the recording and then the officer caught onto it.

He told me that he was recording the conversation if I wanted to use it in court later on. I told him that's fine mate and I continued recording without trouble.

(I was holding the phone in my hand normally, being discrete with it but participating in the conversation)

I gave it a little hit around a corner, lost traction, and didn't notice the cop stopped on the side of the road. He waved me down and gave me a lecture, checked my records, checked over the car, told me to stop being an idiot and let me off.

Greatest. Cop. Ever.

I was very co-operative and apologetic though, your attitude towards cops goes a long way.

That's exactly right. I'm a firm believer in "Treat people how you expect to be treated".

really depends on the officer, 3 weeks after I brought my 32 ( back in 2002) I was pulled over down the road from my house doing a U turn and after 45mins the officer says "nice car but I better get back to work", really nice guy,

the next night a police car goes past me in the other direction, he pulls over and does a U turn, I figure he's coming for me so I pull over to wait for him, he pulls in in front of me and then I get in to a heated discussion about how legal the factory head lights on the car are with him, complete cock

5 years later, I passed a police car leaving my area, 1km up the road sitting on the speed limit I see a car catching me at a massive rate, it pulls up behind me turn the blue and red lights on pulls me over, the first thing he says to me is " pretty funky tyres you have on the car, what did they cost you " I reply " $550 per tyre" he says " so you've got some money then " and precedes to defect me for the factory ride height, after kicking the lower lip on the front bar telling me its to low, tyres ( RE55s ) he says I'm not allowed semis even after I show him the DOT rating making them street legal, and pod filters, which he says are a fire risk from fuel fumes

I am always nice and polite to officers till they start pulling out BS and I know they are going to give me a defect any way

I hope someone with legal background can chime in and confirm, but can you ask the officer to state their badge number, base station etc. when they pull you over? What about refusing to co-operate if they don't provide their ID?

I don't understand why the police have the power to defect you when it's clear some of them don't know what they are defecting you for (e.g. standard ride height). At least use the 100mm block to check height or dB meter to check exhaust volume.

I know 100% you are within your legal rights to record when a cops pulls you over. Also if a cop refuses to show his badge you can pretty much tell them to f**k off and leave lol. As for getting pulled over it's all about attitude and the way you drive. Also the time of day. If you are out past midnight cops are going to be tired of catching idiots out on the road, they are tired and want to go home. They will have a shorter fuse, so be polite and hope for a good one.

The sad thing is 99% of cars in Australia can be defected for some reason or another. If a cop is defecting you for ride height or noise chances are you can be defected for something else. How many of us are running in cabin boost controllers? At the end of the day if you get defected for stupid reasons keep your mouth shut and hope that they don't go into more depth and find other things.

And considering technically coilover suspension requires an engineers cert. Consider a standard defect lucky lol.

I got a question about aftermarket ECU defect - how would a cop be able to determine that I have got an after market ECU? Have they got the right to remove the passenger side kickpanel and check?

They can defect you for whatever they want. I read a mag entry that said that they got defected for factory STi aluminium pedals. There should be a system where if you clear defects without touching the car, the police department should compensate you :D.

Sydney Compliance Centre guys would love that Ravi.

A copper pulled over the CEO and wanted to defect him in 3 ways.

The CEO said, "You realise don't you that as soon as I go around the corner, I can clear these?"

Copper: "No you can't"

CEO: "Yes I can - and I will"...

What about QLD (Brisbane & Gold Coast) if I got defected and wanted to get an engineering cert. for them, what would the best way to go about this?

No need to give me numbers/names, I am just curios.

Also a compliance centre, do we have the pits or cams here? (Unsure what it is called)

To take my car if I needed to get things cleared.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
