Different laws altogether. Must be in an authorised area that is declared due to major civil unrest, similar to the laws that wer eused for APEC as well. These areas are only authorised for a sertain peiod of time and allow police to set up roadblock and search all vehicles.

Well what can I say. I thought it was pretty self explanatory but, (1) A police officer, or the Authority, may inspect a registrable vehicle (whether or not on a road or road related area) for the purpose of deciding its identity, condition or the status of any registration or permit relating to the vehicle and another part of the act..... (a) enter in or on the vehicle on a road or road related area, I have just shown it in black and white where the law says they can inspect a vehicle. If you think they can only do it "to search for drugs, then go for it. :laughing-smiley-014: BTW. Show me where is says they can only search the engine bay on suspicion of drugs?

Just $400 for driving a prohibited vehicle and another $600 for altering a licence...............

Sorry, but here is the legislation that says they CAN go right through your car to inspect it. If you don't open it then they will either use enough reasonable force to gain entry to the engine bay, send to yover the pits /EPA . I don't think the cops will care if you tape them. Why bother. You are recorded on their in car video anyway, which can't be edited, and I'm sure they would love the conversation anyway. ROAD TRANSPORT (VEHICLE REGISTRATION) ACT 1997 - SECT 26 Defective registrable vehicles 26 Defective registrable vehicles (cf Cth Act s 28) (1) A police officer, or the Authority, may inspect a registrable vehicle (whether or not on a road or road related area) for the purpose of deciding its identity, condition or the status of any registration or permit relating to the vehicle. (1A) A registered operator or owner of, or any person in charge of or having the custody of or selling or having in possession for sale or otherwise of the registrable vehicle must afford the police officer or the Authority all reasonable facilities for making such an inspection. Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units. (1B) Without limiting subsection (1), for the purposes mentioned in that subsection and in connection with any inspection, a police officer or the Authority may: (a) enter in or on the vehicle on a road or road related area, or (b) enter in or on any premises ordinarily used for the sale of registrable vehicles and in or on such a vehicle on those premises, or © enter in or on any other premises if the officer or the Authority has reasonable cause to believe a registrable vehicle is for sale, held in possession for sale or in a damaged condition as a result of an accident, and may enter in or on any such vehicle on those premises.

(5) In this section, "inspect" in relation to a registrable vehicle includes observe the vehicle’s performance, with or without the use of instrumentation.

You might get away with it. You might not. If you come across a cop that does all the checks then expected to get reamed for more than just driving a turbo.

No. Street racing legislation will remain the same as it has for years. They will merely amend the regulation to allow police to crush rather than sell. Its not like they will have to put it through parliament for a vote or listen to any public protests. They merely place the new regulation in parliament and it gets added to the current legislation.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the laws are already in. No amount of protects will stop it. It is just a matter of changing a regulation in the curren street racing laws in parliament to let the government crush the car rather than sell it. A simple vote and crushing happens rather than selling.

Its the new fully hectic english spellchecker. Type The....or any other word a normal person would use and you get hecticspeak instead......bro

uh...huh but why will he need to drive it" He has to make a good case to geet an excemption. If he gets on for work then it will have to specify it is for work purposes during work hours only. he wont be able to buy a ute and get the boss to say he needs it for work. The RTA looks at all the cars the company will have and say no. Just sit it out and stop trying to "get around" the law.

Wow. I only just looked at your posts and seen how much shit you have been in. You should have been euthanased at birth so none of us have to be on the road when you are around.

Fully hektic speed bro. I am glad they pasted you at court. You have to appeal the 3 year disqualification and either have it removed before you can appeal the habitual offender title. Every time you get caugh again you will be up for another +5 years on top of your disqualification (More than likely spending quality time with a affectionate cellmate in gaol as well).

I like potatoes

Offensive language is offensive language. It doesn;t matter whether they are cops or not.

Numerous posts over and over again tell us that radar is used both stationary and MOBILE.

Its not the commodore . Its the thread that stinks

I say C.R.A.P.. Who gives a rats arse about some VE or some tin rimmed unmarked gas falcon. Yawn....... Post somethign interesting

If I'm not mistaken that is in Jones St outside the UTS. The signa are actually "no stopping", not no standing. Dont they start from that little kink in the road just in front of the car?

c.r.a.p.p.y post.

My head hurts after reading that.

Geez, nice spotting hehehe Its a Magna!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They haven't used the speedos from the cars. They have a separate calibrated speedo dont they?

V....I.....D......E.....O......... Beat that.

Why dont you just contact the station he came from and you can arrange a time to go in a view the footage, Beats going to court with some lame excuse and the video showing you doing something completely different. As for the service of a brief, they dont have to give it to you until the day of the hearing unless you have been charged or the magistrate makes an order for it to be done earlier. If the offence was an orange light then the police can change the offence on the day of court.

Bwahhhhhhhhhhaha Yeah because ACA care about car enthusiasts!!!!!!!!!!! Lets face it. Yes you got done harshly. You even admit your car had some defectable gear on it. The fines havent arrived. The defect isnt even lodged. Wouldnt you just go an get your copy cleared at a mates inspectin station and be done with it. Life isnt going to change about cops defecting cars. That is why I got rid of my car and went to a bike. I get left alone now.
