Tezzah Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 i think its got alot to do with where your driving and at what times. some areas are patrolled more frequently. some areas are known 'hooning' locations. i find that driving to and from work for the last 5 years ive NEVER been pulled over at those times. and then random trips at different times i get pulled over. Saying that, i havent been pulled over for a year. and i was never pulled over while on my P Plates.

xtc Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 geez some of you guys have been through worse then i have? my ps were off last night like i said i was cleaning the car beforehand and forgot to put the front ones on. the back were there but i can garantee you cannot see them at night time as the stock tints on v35 on the back are really dark. i have a few grins my way also but i will say that car is bought from my own money. took year of uni worked at uncles restaurant before and cafe etc and yes really good pay. im 20 and off my ps next month. other then that i would agree with hoony if you are a spoilt one at least pay back your parents some money. man i dont know what will happen seriously after im going to install exhaust carbon kit etc...more attention? lol but the ps will be off at least.

wagts4 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 ive had holdens for years with no problems i bought my 32 and ive been pulled over a total of 5 times since i bought it once with a cruise once after they followed me for 10 odd kms then checked over the car, as annoying as it was they showed me all the illegal bits she had on her from the previous owner then just the other week on the way home from night shift three times in 5 kms with three different cops all random breath tests but i guess thats the down side of an import lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/245448-undercover-cops/page/2/#findComment-4271497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dukes- Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 then what? Oops, thought i typed that bit in The cop asked why, then my step dad explained how he was the 5th cop to pull him over within a 3 hour time frame. the cop radio'd in to check this, and yes he had been pulled over too many times. so they let him go, no apology though. but I don't think he had much trouble from them after that. One cop asked him "Is this your sons car?" lol, wankers.

gazza750 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 heres a tip never just sit in your car and act like a scared bunny get out and speak to them at eye level they are not above you because they are doing a job. you have rights we are not just big targets for people to take shots at getting out of your car when you have been pulled over by police can be construed as aggression on your part .by law you are supposed to remain behind wheel of your car. Also cops do NOT have to have a reason to search these days.

NA_Goodness Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I've got out of the car for 5 of the 6 times I've been pulled over. Meet them half way, with your license in you hand, more of an even playing field in my opinion. I got let off with a warning when caught doing 95kms over... I think it works well!

gersfan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Haven't been pulled over yet, but I have thought about whether or not I'd remain in the car. When you get pulled over, do they take much time to come and see you?

hoony Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 ^ i see MattyP reading this... i've been pulled over HEAPS... always RBT (sometimes speeding, well a few times but yeah...) once your car is stopped they're basically out of the car straight away man, if you can just turn off your car and your lights (if it's night time or dark) and just hop out if they haven't reached you... if they have then stay in the car unless they're in your way always good to show common courtesy to them, if you've done something wrong and you're definitely going to get done, don't act stupid... if they haven't got you definitely then say things like 'maybe', 'possibly' and 'could have' a lot... then you won't be done for actually admitting anything lol works like a charm my2c and out of interest Kinh, what plates did you get? i need some custom plates now, about time i turn into a SAUWA sheep Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/245448-undercover-cops/page/2/#findComment-4271826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyP Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Also, the police cannot search your vehicle unless they have reasonable suspicion to do so. So if they do ask for it next time ask them what they are relying upon as suspicion and if they can't tell you you can say no (which may lead to a bit of verbal biffo) or you can say yes, on the basis that you are consenting to a search without a reasonable cause and just highlight that you think it's not warranted but you'll allow it to be gracious Or you can say 'yes, on the condition it is recorded' (not by you) and chances are they'll forget it as they'll have to take you and the car back to the station to record on their own equipment. A waste of time and effort for most cops. I've been on a few cop operations for work, and the only times they've searched cars is when alcohol is involved with young drivers (to find more booze) As for cops allowed to speed without sirens on. Well if they get flashed with no sirens on, they cop the fine so technically no they're not allowed to speed. As the cop that pulled me over last week said 'We're here to uphold the law' *cough* lol.
