jezzathejerm Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 A few weeks ago i was in the city with 2 mates. I was pulling a U turn down a side street and kicked the back out.. (minor burnout - mininal smoke), when out of nowhere came 2 under cover cop cars. I pulled over straight away and they came up to the window and said 'how stupid do you feel?' they told me to get out and told my mates to sit in the car. The officer proceded to ask me what mods i had to the car. I said, umm just the pod filter. She replied 'what about your blow off valve??' at this point i thought ok.. she aint to stupid then. She told me not to move and she went around the whole car and asked if i had declaired the mods with the RTA and she looked at my rego sticker and she said that i hadnt?? i dunno how she knew that??! but then she said cause it was an unregistered vehicle then it would be impounded for 3 months.. i went to court to fight the burnout charge and got off with just a $200 fine and nothing else.. but now the cops are tellin me that i cant get the car back unless i get a letter from the magistrate stating that i can get my car back before the probationary 3 month period is up.. so im left carless... anyone else had this problem? Ps they got me for .. bald tyres BOV Pod filter tinted windows dvd player exhaust Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/235888-my-car-got-impounded/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomk Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 carless and careless mate I have no sympathy really.... it was stupid what you did I do this shit too sometimes dude in the right circumstances and quiet areas but if I was caught I would accept and move on till that day I get her back. If I had my car done for that I would tell them to chat to the workshop when it was imported and passed and then the RTA because I had a random pit inspection when I was regoing it and it was passed to be road worthy... f**kn cops sometimes mate. BUT there are good cops who I love and respect. as for the dilemma mate take it on the chin cant f**k the the system too much Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/235888-my-car-got-impounded/#findComment-4130452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzathejerm Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 she said that the dvd player was illegal.. even tho it doesnt play dvd's when the car is on.. also i am coping everything that has been thrown my way. i admitted what i did was stupid and thats y they have taken my car away. the car is registered but because i had the mods the cop told me by looking at my rego sticker that i hadnt declaired them with the rta then it was unregistered? so i assume that when u mod your car u get a new rego sticker? is this right? and even ppl replied and just said that they do burnouts.. so everyone who has a skyline who does do burnouts and get away with them is just lucky. if u do one and are unlucky and get caught like i did then u cop what i am coping. it will be a matter of time before other ppl get caught in an unlucky situation and have their car taken too..

nIsMo86 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Burnouts in the city...not a smart idea. You get what you deserve. Sux you got caught though. In regards to that rego sticker thing...I've never heard anything about any difference in rego stickers in regards to normal mods. Sounds like the cops made it up.

reaper Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Your car is no unregistered just the fact that the mods arent engineered meaning they are illegal. When you engineer your mods it ads a bit of text (cant remember exactly what) onto your rego label which is what she would of been looking for.

drive2slide Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 To be perfectly honest I do some stupid things (burnouts, drifting) on the street too, but come on dude there's a time and place! Even if you walk through the city you see the insane amount of cops absolutely everywhere pulling over Uleh in his Pulsar with his 20 inch chromies and 9 inch cannon dragging along the road. They're absolutely everywhere. City is the one place I would definitely not go drifting/do burnouts. There are some cool corners though...

DECIM8 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Is this thread for real? The quote above are you for real? WTF is wrong with you both? Burnouts are only allowed for commonwhores. Illegal U turns are let to useless taxi drivers. Your both idiots.

DRD-00F Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 The only illegal thing about DVD players is if they are playing DVDs while the car is in motion. This is normally fixed by attaching a cable to the handbrake. There's very few laws against TVs these days, that's why every new car has them in the headrests, footwells, sidewalls of the tyres etc...
