Thanks!
Won the case cause a cop further up in the ranks has seen the evidence we've gathered and compared to the evidence the cop has (a voice recording), it`ll make the police force look completely stupid as will forsee the case not to go any further.
The charges can not just be dropped like that since I took the matter to the courts, so unfortantly I still have to rock up on the 30th of March to have the judge drop the charges which will take 5mins and then I'm scot free.
I'd still want to question the fact of police harassement right now though.
Past few days cops have just been pulling me up and doing "licence checks" around my area.
Fair enough they are crackin down but its becoming a pretty ugly sight seein it more so now then I've ever seen before.
e.g - the other night cop pulled out of a street onto kessels road in sunnybank and as I merged into traffic on mains road headin south, so did the cop to which he then pulled up next to me and looked at myself and my gf in the car. Started playin around on the computer and then as the light turned green and I was already in the right lane to turn right at the lights, I proceeded and the cop jumped into my lane and followed me into the Shell servo.
I parked got out, folded my arms and stood their waiting 2mins while the cops were screwin around on their computer doin their checks and then waved to me and drove off.
If at any stage that they see I have the 2 fines going through the courts, I can for see they will leave me alone until the case is over. However, once the case is over I can see they will be happy to make me repeat all this again as this is what cops like to do - waste everyones time.
Anyway! this is soon to be seen and if it does go on, i`ll make sure a harassement case is put up towards the police force and see how smart they want to be about things then!
BOV's are allowed however, you will be fined for 'undue noise'. This however comes into question as to what can be classified as 'undue noise'. Council regulations throughout the city and valley permit nightclubs from exceeding a certain db level, once exceeded its then classified as 'undue noise' and they are fined on the spot by the council.
Of course beeping a horn to say goodbye to someone or to open a garage door is also classified as 'undue noise'.
So really the 'undue noise' can be questioned to a degree but more then likely he`ll slap ya with a small fine not worth fighting for.
