this guy was in an undercover non-highway patrol car. I just thought it was slack because he booked him for exactly 15 over therefore 6 demerit points instead of 4 (Double demerits period remember) Thanks anyway chaps, my friend is seeking legal advice

I got done a couple years back when I went past a cop (he was traveling on the other side towards me) he did a u turn and said he estimated my speed at 15km over the limit, no radar, does that mean I could have taken it to court as he wasnt traveling in the same dorection as me and had no radar?

Yes you could have easily won the case.. remember to take the lawyer..there was a case that was being heard before me where a senior cop with 27 years of experience seen this car approaching towards him while this cop was handing fine to someone else...the car braked before he got to the cop but cop estimated his speed to be more then 30 km/hr then the speed limit..the judge clearly said that he appreciates the cop's experienc and not saying he's a liar but govt spends millions of dollars every year to provide them with speed radars that have been tested . The case was dismissed.

I had the same scenario too but i didn't have lawyer and lost so hire a lawyer and dnt speed. Sometimes cops do estimate it wrong so definitely hire a lawyer.

Without a radar it's your word against there's. It depends on whether you admitted it to it at the time. Whatever speed you admitted to you will go for, even with a highpower lawyer. The same applies when they do you with a radar, they have to show you the reading by law.

There is no law to say they have to show you. Generally they show youas a courtesy.

bugger, those points contributed to me losing my licence :) , ah well, lesson learned, at least i dont speed anymore

A highway patrol officer has the power to issue a on the spot fine without the use of a radar gun..

trust me on this..................................

Yes i definitely trust you on that.. And i knew that he didn't have radar and also that he is recording our conversation and i didn't accept at all in our conversation that i was speeding when i was stopped..hired a lawyer second time and case was dismissed...

They always tell you that they caught you doing more then 15 km/hr and if you say no to that they ask you how fast you think you were going so that they can book you for what you agreed.. and if you were speeding then you definitely deserve a fine

They don't have to show you reading at all..

I'm no expert but I was told that to get a ticket without radar they had to tail you for a specified distance to gauge an accurate speed using the speedo in their car, and it has to be issued on the spot, unless you admit guilt.

I dare say laws are slightly different regarding this from state to state

People...............highway patrol dont need a radar to give you a ticket

they are trained to see and judge by eye....

My bro got done without a radar reading

went to court and lost cause it was a highway patrol

if he was a General duty copper (General dog) your sweet

but a highway patrol officer your f**ked in ever way

LOL Highway patrol officers get issued with calibrated eyeballs do they?

from what i have heard they cant book you without a radar unless you admit to it because they cant back themselves up.

thats pretty much true. got a little bit happy coming off the hbr bridge late one night they caught up at macca's in cremorne and tried to get me to admit it. i couldnt whipe the smirk of my face and kept sayin i was doing 80 till i reached the lights then 60 the whole way.

So i had a mate who was pulled over on new years eve by an unmarked cop with out a radar (was following behind my friend). So my friend got this fine in the mail that said he was driving 15 over the limit 6 demerit points (during the DD period) but this cop apparently didn't show any identification. So he was wondering if radar-less cars can actually hand out fines for this?

* Yes he knew he was speeding but not 15 over

it wans't nathan was it? :)

Can anyone find a reference to the rules and rights of us as motorists and the powers of police when it comes to the roads?? I can find a lot of crap but nothing that directly relates to the question and arguments being put forward here.

It would be great to have a read over to know exactly what we as drivers can do when it comes to being pulled over and given fines in these situations. Police have a habit of lying about what they can do just so you talk your way into the fine :)

If stopped for a traffic offence you only have to supply your name and place of abode and produce a licence.

If you are involved in an accident, you have to supply your name, place of abode and a version of events.

You can be stopped at any time on a road or road related are for a breath test.

If you are stopped for a breath test you must submit to the test.

Likewise if you are taken to a hospital for a drug test you must supply a sample of blood and urine at the direction of a doctor or nurse.

If you are the owner of a vehicle and police place a form of demand on you for the name and address of the driver in relation to an offence you must supply that name and address unless it is unreasonable to do so.

Police can close any road. The can direct and driver to move or stop etc.

Police can direct you off a road or any area if you are obstructing traffic, intimidating people or in an area known for drug supply.

Police have the power to enter into a vehicle to inspect it for defects.

Theyhave the power to direct you to a inspection station or EPA.

You do not have to be shown a speed measurement instrument.

If you wish you can attend a station at a later date an view in car video footage.

What else is there?

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
