Today a friend and myself had 3 undercover police officers come up to us and search us for no reason at all.

They searched our pockets and took down our details.

A couple of my mates got done aswell just down the road.

I asked him why they were doing this and he said that crime had been increasing in the area. It was things such as graffiti and car break-ins etc.

There were about 3 undercover cars doing laps around my area getting most of the teenagers in the areas details.

I am very pissed off at the fact that they came up and got our details for no reason. While they were doing this they could've been busting some other guy who was washing car windscreens on the side of the road (illegally), but no, instead they come up to us when we did nothing.

Are they allowed to do random checks like that??

Because if they aren't I'm ready to make a visit to the chief at the station.

I am seriously annoyed, why are they coming up to us when there are other crimes being commited that need attending to.

Dont police seriously have anything better to do.

Ah pipe down they were doing thier job, your 15 and the world is against you. I wouldnt worry.

When your old enough to own a house or have possessions of any worth, you'd care that this was being done aswell.

And yes, they are allowed to ask you questions. You dont have to answer, but you must give you name and address i believe.

ohh ok thats okay then.

If they are allowed to I don't mind as much.

But i thought that they weren't allowed to get your details and all that for no reason??

But it is still frustrating for them to come up to us when we were just walking.

tbe idea of police is to provide a prescense in the community to "police" it so that crime does not occur

too many people think police are there to solve crimes. a detective does that, they detect why a crime occured after its occured.

police are there to 'police' the environment so nothing happens

Everyone bitches and moans when cops are doing their job but it involves you, but when someone breaks into your house or steals something of yours, who is the first person (organisation) you call hmmm let me think...... ah its the cops. But no one thanks them when they find your car or catch the person that breaks in and robs you.

Stop your sooking they are putting their life's on the line every single day for the public and are forever being criticised

I have a close working relationship with the police and trust me.. if u weren't doing something stupid in the first place they wouldn't have looked twice at you.

do you consider walking down a street as being something stupid??

you don't know what happened so your not to judge that we were doing something stupid.

We weren't even talking loud, and if you ask the other 30+ people that got there details taken down if they were doing something stupid, i would know there answer. I saw them questioning some other mates aswell and they werent doing anything stupid.

Oh well i'm over it now, but you my friend should not judge if you didn't witness it with your own eyes. I know that normally they wouldn't but in this case they did.

i wish the cops did that in my area. we have a park opposite our place and there are always kids making a sh1tload of noise at night. even tho we haven't been targeted yet, there's quite a lot of theft on our street and car break ins. i'm always worried about our car outside.

i've had my details taken down for standing outside my ex's (then gf) house waiting for her to come out. i wasn't even with friends.

The reason why details are taken down is so that if something occured in the area say 10min before or after the Police left they can come and see you to help them with inquiries as they know you where there...

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
