Cop Saying That My Exhaust Doesnt Meet Epa Requirements?

[inark]

pfffft illegally... EVERY car is illegal from factory as soon as you change the oil or refil the petrol. Dont let that scare you from going to court with it.

if it passed EPA after having nothing done to it then you should recoup your costs.

he is driving the car illegaly, it is very clear on the ruling for power to wieght. one would be quiet foolish to pursue this any further when you are knowingly breaking the law.

your funeral

your funeral

but they didnt get him for that...you're driving your car illegally as well..doesnt mean u dont have a right to contest bogus defects

[paulr33]

thats correct, but its only likely to backfire when they realise and make things worse and build a bad judge of character for you.

[inark]

thats ok paul... let them dictate to you and scare you into submission.

IMO cops dont know shit

Its the only job out there where you dont need to know shit to do it!!!

Dont be affraid to take a cop to court and prove they dont know shit, I have done it and won and I know alot of others that also have.

Only way to stop no nothing cops doing the same thing to someone else again is to take them to court or atleast make their life a little harder by lodging a case with their senior officer etc so next time they will think twice before they book someone with bogus claims.

hmmmm sorry but im with paul on this one, if i was u id just pipe down and be thankful nothing else happned. although it may feel noble and slef satisfying to "fight back" in the long run it could have seriouis ramifications for u. previously i would have agreed with taking action but given what happned to Ruffls with his PTW im keener than ever to keep a low profile. like when i got my last canary. the guy got me on a few things that could easily b fixed (height = adjustable, tyres = replaced, bov = plumback came 2 days after dammit lol) and considering that he missed some of the things which would have caused more problems (4 starters the legality of my cars power 2 weight ratio). but thats just me, im a bit of a woos lol

I've taken the Police to court countless times.

It does not make you a target at all.

If you play by the book, they must aswell.

I've had defects for all sorts of stuff, and im yet to loose a defect court battle.

Others i might have lost, but not the defects as honestly, Victoria Police out on patrol simple do not know all the laws.

Its impossible. So they make it up as they go to suit the situation and "try thier luck"

again, comes back to the accountability scheme that needs to be employer so it stops this horrid abuse of power

cheers
