What Can Copper Defect Your For?

[O.I.C Napster]

Im a little confused on what a copper can defect you for. I have a r33 skyline turbo (of course) FMIC CAI standard BOV with intercooler pipes going over radiator etc. So why or what can they defect u for like is there any guidelines on a website that say u can do this or not etc.

Cheers

do a forum search, there's a few defect topics

basic things they can legally defect you for is a bov venting to atmosphere, and an unsecured pod

anything else, best to go get a cert from the RTA to say it's street legal

Anything they want to, its then upto you to clear it with RTA and courts. Read this thread there is a link or 2 in it to some answers.

If it is not in legislation fight it, but sometimes its not worth the trouble.

Some coppers can defect you for stupid shit.

cops can and will defect you for ANYTHING, just to waste your time and/or money.

when VY's were new, there was a SS Ute that literally rolled off the showroom floor that morning (so no mods AT ALL) that i saw defected, just because the owner happened to be at Aspley Macdonalds on the night of a blitz.

yeah but not hard to fight that, but yeah i spoke to a woman who warned me about a defected station, she drove a brand new landcruises (about 2 years ago) and said she was done for having a wrong sized steerring wheel and a tow bar that stuck out to far from back of the car, whcih she said were standard. :s

a guy got defected in a brand new patrol ute because the number plate wasn't visible from 45 degree up. it had factory tray and the number plate was positioned in the factory holder.

you can get defected fro trimming the front bar to get the cooler in.

actually one of the bogans at the southside hoon spot i was having a chat to said you can get defected for having slimline plates on the back

is that true? sounds dodgy =/

well the government allow businesses to sell things that go on your car that are classified as "illegal" to have. so i dont see why the government would excuse themselves from selling things that can be "illegal" on your car to.

that is correct Einstein... when i got my plates swapped over, they made a big fuss about making sure the slimline plate goes on the front, otherwise i will be fined (i had 1 x slimline and 1 x USA size)...

What can you get defected for?

haha! pretty much anything these days. and if the cop is in the wrong, then its you who has to go through all the trouble of getting the defect notice and fine dismissed which means, you got to take time off work to go to court and babble a whole load of shit to a judge who has nothin better to do all day then to sit behind a bench and hear everyones bullshit.

clearly, i got to go through this myself and get my 2 fines dismissed cause some stupid cop doesnt know how to do his job properly. in the end the cop is just goin to cop the bad end of the stick cause maybe all these years he's had it easy handin out fines and defects to ppl for no reason, but this time, he's hit the wrong person and has given me more then enough motivation and fuel to have everythin thrown back at him.

what would be really cool in my opinion is if the judge was to have every fine and defect notice handed out by this one cop, gone through all of them and had anyone reinburst for the false fines/defects hes handed out.

hahahahah! that would be cool to see!

but doubtful
