vote 1 Pete (SLED) for mod. :P

just out of curiosity, if it was youngsters and we are able to restrain them withought causing harm until police arrive is this still a viable option? or is it hands off and just :D ?

Good question Mark.

You don't need to be a cop to detain anyone but there is a fine line between detaining and imprisonment or holding someone hostage.

Regardless of what people say, you have no powers of arrest but you can detain.

What happens if the guy that you are detaining tries very hard to get away, how do you hold him without assaulting him?

If you can detain someone without hurting them, go for it.

Having said that, if you were to grab a serious crook and sat on them till the cops came, 90% of the time (as long as they didn't require medical attention) the cops wouldn't bat an eyelid. Just make sure you don't grab the wrong guy.

My neighbour and I caught 4 young punks trying to steal my Kawasaki some years ago. I had it chained to a post "for sale" around the corner from my house. Caught them by surprise and our intent was to scare them off ... you know run and yell at them. Well all 4 put their fists up and none wanted to run. ... too bad.

If you catch anyone trying to steal or break into your car, and they don't back down, then its game on!

I don't care what people think. Maybe y'all think I'm just a tough talker, keyboard warrior, whatever. I'm me, and I hate disrespectful people. I've grown up very much most of my life under discipline and respect, and if someone disses you or your property, you can do something about it ... but think about it before you act.

Peace :P

yeah thats pretty much spot on because the difference between fresh air and a 6' x 6' cell with Bubba's bad breath is only a wrong decision away :D and he likes little boys.

Bubba is real & he's waiting for you.........maybe a romantic dance for starters followed by a nice quiet dinner for 2 :banana:

Sorry to hi-jack my own thread but I couldn't resist

hey.. i seriously think that if your all concerned about your cars being stolen(which you are ).... i reccomend buying a second hand baby moniter. if your car is reasonably close to your house...... you should get great reception. and they are f*kin loud and very sensitive to sound.. you'll hear them messing with your locks well before they get into your car... peace ..

Yeah ... good tip!

And keep a baby rattle handy for beating them with! :)

C'mon, no crook will admit to being assaulted with a baby's rattle :)

As for restraining them. Done that too. There's a few wrist/arm locks that can be used with very little effort ... leaves no bruising or evidence of injury. :D I'll show you guys a few sometime, for those who'd like to know (and brave enough to get close enough). But its purely for restraint/self defence only.

As long as its clearly a "controlled restraint" and you're now intentionally inflicting injury upon them, then its cool. If the wrist/arm lock doesn't hurt them as long as they do not resist, and only hurts them if they struggle or try to get free, then your within the boundaries of the law. The same wrist/arm locks I'm referring to are taught to the police anyway ... I should know ;)

So next time you get pulled over by a cop for something stupid that you did, think of what he has probably endured or witnessed in the last 24 hours.

if a cop can't handle the heat in the kitchen then maybe they should consider getting out! a police officer is an enforcer of the law and why should they be allowed to make judgements based on their mood? dispite what they've seen in the last 24 hours they can't let it influence their decissions on the job! the same goes in the courts, they can't let their morals influence the sentencing of the defendant! otherwise it'll just be vigilante with a badge and not proper police work! i just believe cops can't let their emotions get mixed up with the job

yeah you're right but cops are human too........I'll give you a scenario;

Say for arguements sake that you're a cop near the end of a grave yard shift and has just pulled a mother out of a wreck caused by a drunk driver then moments later you both watch her kid still in the wreck go up in flames, then an hour later you arrest some teenager doing 200 kph up Port Wakefield Rd..........are you telling me you wouldn't want to ring his neck.

yes i would like to pull out my newly assigned glock and pop him a few! but i can't, because it's not my job to punish him! it's for the courts to decide! my job is to apprehend him and lock him away, and that is the job i'll do no matter what my feelings are

I think Sled is trying to get across the "grind your teeth" moments.

When things are stil fresh in your mind, they affect your actions subconsciously sometimes!

Thats why they have coffee and donuts to calm down :D

Must be different, in the IT field the coffee and donuts are there to make us all hyper and do twice as much work! 0.0

I love donuts, but I don't drink coffee ... so I guess I've balanced my workload out :)

If keeping absolute control of your emotions all the time 24/7 was a prerequisite for entering the force, then there wouldn't be any cops on the streets.

You're asking them to be machines and that's just unrealistic.......you by self admission have a short temper so you should be able to understand this better than a relatively calm person.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
