Why does everyone come down on this guy. Things like this make me change my mind about becoming a cop because you get so many people that look down on you and its very similar to us i mean one dick buys a skyline and thrashes it crashes with no experiences it looks bad on us and in the same way we get pulled over and we get some ass hole cop who rips us a new hole and we change our perspective of them but i have alot of cops who are family friends and relatives there average ppl and you don't need to be a cop to be a dick hes doing his job.

Only exception is a ticket inspector hahaha im sure even cops hate them :(

As I have said before, there are arsehole cops, no doubting that, these cops have attitudes, think they are god's gift, and will go over you like a mofo to pick everything, but guess what, you had to have done something to catch the attention of the cop in the first place (step back, look at the car, was it the skirts, the tires that vanish under the guards, the massive ricer wing you have on your boot, or the smoke blowing out of your exhaust??).

There are also good cops, they will pull you over for an RBT, run your licence, and if there is no issues, off you go, even though your sitting there with a 5" cannon that is clearly not quietening a straight through non-cat exahsut system on a straight 6 twin turbocharged car.

I have had both types of cops, from the ones pulling me over because the car caught their eye so they thought they would go to town on me, through to cops that haven't given a shit and left me alone.

The last 3 cars have been imported turboharged cars, and I have only been pulled over twice (combined) in these cars.

99% of the time, it's not the cop, but that 1% of the time, you probably didn't help the cop to not notice you.

B.

Look, at the end of the day whether youre a cop or not, everyone has a job to do. Everyone has rules to adhere to.

Then one day you get busted and think all cops are (unts because you got caught?

Well guess what, bad f**king luck. Be a dickhead on the road and face the consequences for f**ks sake.

I can understand people thinking he's on here to claim bragging rights because he impounded a car but if you read clearly he wanted to learn the process of doing it and never had an opportunity to. The opportunity arose and he took it. Get over it.

My rant...

Graheme did you ever have any experinece confiscating cars before this new legislation was brought into effect. Specifically the provision allowing vehicles to be confiscated if used when committing a serious indictable offense?

TBH I have wanted to impound a vehicle so I can learn/know what I am doing in future. <snip>

I have tried a couple of times before to impound for cars doing burnout and going sideways around corner but the S/SGT's on duty wouldn't authorise them.

Good on you Graeme for taking this idiot off the street temporarily! For all we know, one more life saved..?

I'm not quite comfortable with your motives when it comes to wanting to impound a vehicle for the sake of education... by the law you may have been able to impound the vehicles, but dont let self improvement or gratification sway your decision when it comes to charging someone with a fairly serious offence.. I'm sure you understand what i'm getting at. As much as fools deserve to be punished, dont abuse your discretion :O

lol, i think this copper is slightly retarded, what sort of copper goes "huh, i just impounded someones car today, im feeling pretty good about it, im gonna go brag to the boiz at sau, cos there so awsome and maybe ill get a self esteem boost" ................................................................................

........................................

srsly what in the name of high school football?! its a fake i reckonz, and not a copper, a 16 year old tubby who quit his job at taco bills because they teased him so.

so, do coppers have forums where i can brag about what ive done?

eh.. ive had my winge, please continue

PS, this guy is a complete and utter DOUCHE

(Define Douche: a small syringe with detachable nozzles; used for vaginal lavage and enemas)

ugh..grow up mate.

I don't see how he's abused any discretionary power....It's not like this was a marginal offence.

All he's said is that he's been waiting for someone to impound so that he could learn the process, and this guy clearly deserved it...It's not as if he's gone out of his way to impound someone just for the sake of experience.

Agreed. Although I wasnt referring to the idiot driving in the construction zone. I was referring to the 'other' cars whom he tried to impound but his seniors didnt think it was a big enough offence to follow through with it. By law they could have, but his superior thought that it was better not to impond the cars. They have more experience than him so are usually making the better decision. Had the s/sgt not have been there, someone's car may have been impounded by a rookie just 'wanting to see what it was like'! I want it to be clear that I'm NOT talking about the guy who's car he DID impound. He well deserved it!

I can't believe someone almost got a ticket for gearing down to slow their car, I'd be stuffed everyday in my Kenworth for using the engine brake to slow me up. Especially with the 620 Cummins :O

Good job on the roller, glad it wasn't a liner :)

The guy who ran into the back of me was speeding and had a suspended licence and not wearing his seat belt too, he nearly killed himself which was really scary for me.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
