ToMMaH Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well it's tomorrow. Theres been a fair bit of stuff going on with this. Long story short I should only be looking at a fine now, a max of $2000 but more likely $100 (?) + $80ish for having it at the stage where the police brief was made. Most importantly I should not be getting any demerit points. I really couldn't give a rats ass about money so it's fine by me. It'll still be my first defect offence and next time i'll get my car taken for the 48hours. Bassically If I continue with it to trial they want to change the charge to something which will have a worse outcome for me should I lose. I guess if your going to get a new shim for your diff be aware you may be ass raped by the po-po unless it is exactly the same thickness as factory I also guess your shim will never be allowed to wear out! Lets make them out of diamonds or something. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228574-off-to-court/page/7/#findComment-4306085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWND Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I still don't understand why you are getting fined...? Seems like they could issue a fine for changing the oil in your car to a different thickness or brand from factory...

ToMMaH Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Because it's still unsafe they reckon but not illegal.... LOL. I don't care, I seriously don't care. 6 months, $$$, stress.... all gone Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228574-off-to-court/page/7/#findComment-4306331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jum Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I respect your decision to give in at this point but I really wish someone would go all the way, and prove them wrong for once. It seems they can just postpone and postpone and keep throwing offers at you depending on how good your case is. Sounds like that crappy tv show 'deal or no deal' Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228574-off-to-court/page/7/#findComment-4306541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToMMaH Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 $300 fine and most importantly 0 points. I'm keeping my licence The judge said I didn't seem happy about it when the police prosicutions read out the court brief so I did get to say it was a load of shit(not in those words). Probably didn't help. But just hearing the court brief, the way the cop who raped me worded what happened and a couple lies from it pissed me off.

533EYA Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 good to hear you keep all your points mate thats what cops can do unfortunately if they dont like you they can rape you, and unless you have some hardcore evidence and the money to fight them, we will never win..

ToMMaH Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Oh and the other good thing was my lawyer doesn't want any extra money since I gave him money last time. So I've had him represent me the last 2 times and had the last 2-3 times I went to his office for free.

jase-r34 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I just read this whole thread start to finish. It is NOT right the shit cops get away with. Guilty until proven innocent hey...(along with plenty of $$$) It just makes my blood boil. The amount of crap I have seen cops do (speeding, spinning wheels on take of without lights or sirens in a built up area, not using indicators...the list goes on) and they have the hide to pick on people solely for the kind of car they drive. I just wish they would spend more time and effort getting the truly unsafe heaps of s#!t off the road instead of just being cocks.

You know how they have that 'report a smokey vehicle' thing? I once reported a cop car which had heaps of black smoke coming out the exhaust It was quite amusing.

Gts-t Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 So next time you get done for the same thing, or something smaller you lose your car for 48 hours. If you didnt lose your car the when the ticket was issued i dont see youve had a win Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228574-off-to-court/page/7/#findComment-4308249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRB20ASH Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice work!!!!!! I'm sure there are plenty of us out there with only 1 point to spare, so you have made us all proud. Good to see a Skyline driver.. ahh win.. for lack of a better term. I just read this thread start to finish took a bit of reading.. and I agree, there is no way I would drive an excel they just so happen to be the worst car in the world. lol. I have a 32, and I also have an old N13 pulsar, it has bald tyres on the back purely because one went flat on the way home once, and I dont drive it much anymore, but if I go around a roundabot it squeels like a locka. I would laugh real hard if some stupid cop wrote me a ticket for a locka. Pretty sure, the judge might even laugh. Wouldnt need evidence Aanyways... good to se you are now stress free... Take it easy. Ashleigh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228574-off-to-court/page/7/#findComment-4311344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
