Yes, they are the police. If they ask for example for you to do something that would affect you in person then no you wouldnt. You can try to talk them out of it, but you have to do what they say.

Ahuh, just wondering.... Cheers

xxx-IWD silver ford falcon (sorry didnt think to memorize it). Has been patrolling the Isle of Capri (one of the main exits from Surfers Paradise) the past 3 days since boxing day. I've heard it pull over dozens of cars so far and seen it pulling over 2 with my own eyes.

They tried a nasty trick this morning when i was driving to work. 2 lane road, left lane ends near a bus stop. They were in the right lane next to a bus. Im behind the bus - they obviously see me in my skyline and try and goad me into doing something, cause they slow down in the right lane as the bus pulls over. there was maybe 50 meters of road left in the left lane, they'd be doing 40km/hr (60 street) in the right lane. Obviously wanted me to floor it past them in the left. Luckily i'd been paying attention the last cpl of days and knew it was an unmarked. I slow down and pull in behind them. They pull over and as i drive past i deliberately look at them and shake my head >_< the piggies didnt look happy :laugh:

If i see them again in the next few days i'll memorize the plate an update this post.

Sorry for going off-topic too, but in response to this:

I haven't been pulled over yet but when it happens do I have to comply with the "look under the bonnet" thing. Really theres not much to see....... FMI, pod, BOV you know the basic stuff... >_<

I've been asked to pop the bonnet on my way to work one day, I politely asked if I was legally required to do so, he answered "no" so I said "if there's nothing else then I'd like to be on my way, I'm already running late" and he let me go. I don't know if the guy could have forced me to pop the bonnet or not, or if there is some circumstance they can use (suspicion?). It might have just been because I wasn't a prick to the guy, or maybe he was just a nice guy who could have held me up but didn't, I have no idea. Either way the outcome was good - the bonnet stayed shut and I was held up for a total of probably 60 seconds. FWIW the car is completely legal and has passed similar inspections before.

Of course if they say that yes, you ARE legally required to pop your bonnet, and you later obtain legal advice to the contrary, the conversation with the officer giving false information is recorded. Any defects you get as a result of you being ordered to open the bonnet should be thrown out, as they never would have been awarded had the bonnet stayed shut. On the other hand, if your legal advice agrees with the officer, then they did the right thing and you were legitimately booked, suck it up and deal with it lol

I've noticed that in many cases police use strongly worded requests, but they are just that - requests. If you comply with them you've done so of your own free will. Just ask them politely if you HAVE to do what they ask, and act accordingly.

Short answer: I don't know for sure, but ask the officer if you are legally required to do what they are asking. And be polite!

513-IWD is a definate 100% confirmed.

I ran into them again (literally RAN into) while walking through surfers. Brushed up against a car and noticed the number plate. Was going to take photos of the car + police equipment inside n stuff but my phone camera is broken).

Hello brothers and sisters. I spotted a brand new charcoal/ metallic black Subaru Liberty as an undercover cop car! It was on the Gateway Southbound at 16h30 on Thursday last week. He pulled over some guy in a ute. The cop car had tinted windows and all the hidden lights. What's next? I thought they could only use Aussie built cars?

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
