MODIFIED CAR OWNERS BLAMED FOR PEOPLE GETTING SHOT!! ACA's slander goes to far :(

[Cubes]

hrmm yer.. I must admit when I was 18 and bought my VS V8 5speed I was often pulled over.

One time I had the police search through the car and ask where my 'stash' was.

He (the arsehole) opened the glovebox, slid his had in behind everything and pushed it out on to the floor.

Soon I turned 19 and lost the P's, no more hassling.

Well once I suppose , I was approached in a service station for running a stock wheel on the rear right of the car. The moto officer approched me and said it was illegal to run stock wheels on the back of my car, If i were to run stock wheels I had to have them on the front and the mags on the rear.

I said erm.. I had a flat tyre and its my spare.. Look on the other side.. Its a mag wheel. lol silly man.

a few people have suggested earlier that ACA are in league with the police. i wouldnt buy that for a second, ACA (well, the whole of kerry packers empire) is out for itself. i'd say there's been just as many stories on police corruption, inefectivness and brutality as there has been about hoons..............

I don't see why they wouldn't? You have to convince the public for further powers and action. You can't just go on tv and air your own ad segments "stop the hoons" and pay for that out of police funds (of which there is little, and every dollar has to be accounted for). So there are more intelligent ways to do things these days.

You have to give reasons as to why, and actual examples, faces, and events to convince the public that more should be done. These shows are ready and willing package up that nice and concise format, and a pursuading format that comes right after the news bulletins that a large number of people watch. And they rate. Its cheaper to slip first hand reports, and "where to look for troublespots" to these shows, rather than be seen to be doing it directly. And it costs them nothing, and is probably very effective. There is a police media liason team for a reason.

I'd disagree there. There is not much of that sort of material in the media, and to be seen to do so is often seem as "cop bashing" and bad for public perception - the media gets a major rapping if they **** things up, so often its not worth the rsik.

There is a few tiddles but by then most of it has broken major enough news to be universal. If there was more "open slather" to investigate these things by the media, I think a lot of things would be uncovered.

Then again, you could say that exactly about the car "hoons" with cars obviously worth a lot more than any 20 year old imbicile could legitimately afford. Sure many have parents that support them, and work hard, but its not all of them.

I can spot quite a few people in this thread that are tainting the Skyline community with their attitudes.

Don't go pointing your fingers too quickly, because if you bothered to look past your "pig-fulled rage", fingers are being pointed right back at you.

Congratulations.
