He was pulled over by the Police in Marion St Leichhardt.

He's been pulled over before in his highly modified donk Alfa 33 and got pinged.

Plan B:-

He keeps both of his 'Remotes #1 & #2' on him at all times when in this car.

He keeps them separated from his keys.

When he's been pulled over this time, he got out of his car and locked it with #1.

The officer asked him to pop his bonnet, he said, "Sure Officer" and pulled out #2.

But #2 didn't work. Then he presses it again in front of the officer and nothing happens. He said, "I'll have to go back home and get the other one then."

He got let off.

There was one flaw that the officer didn't pick up on, but that didn't matter.

This is the most laughable strategy I've heard for a while, even more so that a 'lawyer' came up with it.

Will not work:

* I'm pretty sure its defectable to not have proper 'control' of your vehicle, much like the 'broken bonnet latch' trick

* By going home you will need to leave the car where you stopped it, hope its not on a highway / no-parking / no-stopping zone

* Chances are the cop will call in a tow-truck to move it if point 2 is true, chances are it'll be moved to an impound yard.

Yeah some lawyer this guy is...

Very good, but obviously the officer didn't twig that he still must have the keys to drive the car and the same keys will also open the doors.

Would be noisy but meh.

Am I correct, do I win with my simple non random non rant (answer)?

not a bad ploy me thinks. alarm would go off but depending on the alarm it would turn itself off after a while. door would still open and you would still be made to open the bonet. maybe say your alarms playing up and whenever the coppa puts his head under the bonet turn your alarm siren on to make it uncomfortable on his ears and hope he doesnt take to it with his gun.

Cops don't use their guns in australia, what are you on about......It's not like the car is holding two knives or something ;)

Two points to make.

If you think it will stop the defect, it wont. You will merely be directed to an inspection station.

You commit an offence by obstructing the officer. The lawyer risks being removed from practice if it became common knowledge that he knowingly assisted in the commission of an offence.

Not a real smart lawyer.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
