my 1st encounter with the police in my skyline

[akeenan]

well tonite it finally happened, I was wondering how much longer it was going to take. Nearly owning the car for 2 years and this is the first time the police have taken any interest

It was dark, midnight me and my friends were down the beach in a car park. There was also this other car with steamed up windows but thats not part of the story

All of a sudden we see headlights then high beams then a cop car. Sure enough it was the police

A younger officer got out and also and older officer. We said hello etc etc they asked us what we were doing then asked if we had ID on us etc we gave it to the older officer. While the older officer was taking down our details the younger officer was looking at my car. He seemed rather interested he called it a "beast" and asked "how it went". Not once did he make any reference to the P plates, nor did he question or hassel me about power etc etc. He said it was an "awesome car"

this made my night my first encounter with the police and it was 100% positive. :uh-huh: ,

i guess it wasnt the 'TOG' units then otherwise surely they would of questioned you. Good experience and what were you doing at the beach soo late at nite anyway?

[akeenan]

the 'TOG' ..??? we were just a bunch of good mates all hanging out one of my friends is going to canada for a year this thursday. just having fun down there

[pushead]

TOG = Traffic Operations Group or Unit which ever.. They specialised in canaries and digging modified cars/cameras and not your ordinary crime coppas. You can tell from their car by looking at the lights. The normal crime coppas have 2 separate lights whereas the TOGS have 1 bar of light.

here some info on them:

[hippy]

question remains .. why did they have to get your details??

[pushead]

incase any crimes around the area which matches the description of the car? think coppas normally do that if they have nothing better to do .

[dAVE]

That is good police work... being friendly whilst keeping check that everything is OK.

And I can tell you now u dont want to deal with the TOG. My run in with them ended up with me 11 points down and them about $1000 up ... they didnt give me any canaries suprsiingly tho.

[akeenan]

nah these guys werent the TOGS. Im happy about that

We were waiting and asked them if they were "going to bust the people having sex in that car with the steaming windows" but they told us to have a good night and didnt go over there could have caught a glimpse

[pushead]

dont want to jinx myself but never have been pulled over by coppas since i had my line which is close to a year. i think i crap my pants if i see the TOGs pulling me over.. always see them around the eastern subbies.

[hippy]

man u should of went up to the car and had a peak LOL ... or pretend to be a cop and knock on their windows .. LOL

[pushead]

and take some pics and post them here for all of us to see

[akeenan]

well as we were leaving we played funny buggers reversing and going forwards reversing going forwards reversing etc lights on them us laughing.

[DriftPanda]

ive had a few run ins with the police aswell, not up to anything dodgy : )... just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Aslong as ur not bein a nuisance or causin any trouble cops a pretty reasonable.

I just live in a dodgy area n i spose they r suspicious of 3 or 4 cars together at 2am

[whistla]

They usually take your details for the sake of their superiour, makes em look like they wernt sitting on their asses all day/night

In one week, i had my details taken down 3 times (not doing anything wrong, same as u, mates in carparks and such), in the last instants i actually questioned why they would take my details down even though i had not done anything wrong

i also noted if it was crime purposes

he laughed and showed me an A4 tabled sheet with details of other people and he said, quote:

"you see this sheet son? ...if i dont fill this up by the end of the night, then itll look like weve been doing nothing all night"

*shrugs*

he didnt get out of the car either, i had to tell him when m rego expired which was ironic of his sheet

They take them down as they have a quota sheet.

They must check 'X' amount of licenses etc whilst on 'X' hour duty.

Just so they aint driving to and from Macca's all night trying pick-up chicks.

Also... yeah i agree. Lucky you didnt cop one of the pricks from TOG.

Even in the police force it'self they are know to be guys with vendetta's to everyone and everything.

But normal coppers are usually great!

Actually say night i saw two cars smoking the tyres and both NORMAL coppers just gave them warnings and let them go with nothing further.

If it was TOG ... i shudder to think.

haha, funny stuff

the other night one of my mates was doin nuts at kingspark, all of sudden cops started flashin their party lights.

He was in a supra n 1 of the cops started talken to him and the passenger about supercharged corollas (the passenger drives a Trueno with a 4AGZ)

Cops ended up given them a choice between a yellow licky or a fine... could have gone worse

[Guest RedLineGTR]

good it was a positive one

[Guest INASNT]

Akeenan

[dan_the_man]
