so, what do you want them to do, leave every car alone, and allow piece of crap death traps to get around???

you said they checked it out and let him go....whats the issue with that

he was looking 4 evidence of burnouts. if there is they put ur rego on a list. find out ur address, owner of car etc... and try to bust u. take ur car to the track one night and bag em up to put warmth in ur tyres it leaves a trail of rubber in the guard. u did it legally but they dont care. u did a burnout!

Mate do you want to know why you're getting so much trouble from this?

I'm going to take a punt and say that you act and speak exactly like this to the cops. You whinge and moan, and frankly if i was a cop i would go out of my way to find something to screw you over for just because you're a whinging sod who would rather complain about things than just get on with it and conform like everybody else.

If you car is safe and legal (which it should be anyway), youve got nothing to worry about.

If you drive like an idiot then I want you off the road just as much as any cop does - if not more.

If you want to do burnouts - go and find the right place to do it.

If you want to whinge and complain about people doing their jobs and keeping the rest of us safe on the roads - find another forum.

weather u get looked at or cars taken off you depends on many things.

cops attitude
drivers attitude
time of night
location
other drivers in the area
cars appearance
cars sound
cars 'stereotype'

the best you can do is behave. if you're terribly stressed, don't cruise in the hot spots.
if not, risk it but don't ИИИИИ when an angry cop gets u for random stuff.

That Avatar John is freaking me out, maybe a latex mask can be made and handed to the people in Shep to avoid all this?

There is profit to be made!!

hey im a p plater with a v8 and the hoon laws have bin goin on for ages, ive bin pulled over 17 times and not done at all, i may be a magnet, and get pulled over, but they are just doing there jobs, u have to watch the hot spots because the cops are on the prowl im 17 ans i know that. if you take off at the lights within a reasonable speed you wont get done, ill say it, dont be a dildo and you wont get done.

Lets look at this from a simple statistical point of view. In this forum we have 12ooo members of which probably a little over 2500 are heavily active. Of that 2500 (from all around the country) I'd guess 90%+ of cars are modified.. most have mags, exhaust and lowering (the easy to spot mods). There is also a massively disproportionate amount of under 25 drivers.. and a massive P Plate group. Of that 90% I have not heard of a single car being confiscated.. or even attempted to be confiscated.

I think you are fussing over nothing.
