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...

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
