you guys do realise that the SAU member's car was only there as a spectator in the bust, and he was only done for unpaid fines... this includes parking fines, citylink fines etc. The car is immobilised until he pays off the fines. Its the sheriff's dept that does that, not TMU.
Basically they just wanted to get everyone for as much shit as possible, regardless of whether you had a roadworthy car, were involved in illegal activity etc.
I bet any amount of money that if the Sheriff's dept looked into it 1/2 the SAU VIC members would have unpaid fines. hell half of melb probably has unpaid fines.
