Did anyone else see this in the paper this morning?

"WA Police Union president-elect Russell Armstrong said serious traffic offenders, including drink drivers, speeders, hoons and motorists driving under the influence of drugs, would escape on-the-spot police fines of up to $1000 but would still face court action. Minor offenders, such as drivers who failed to indicate, would avoid fines and escape with a caution" (taken from thewest)

Would this mean that you are caught speeding and, provided it wasnt excessive enough to go to courts, you would get off? Are police even targeting speeding at the moment?

But i reckon its a media scam... so we all go and do what they tell us.

We live in the year 21st century and you all believe what we hear and see on the news and papers!

(: so good luck to anyone who wants to try your luck ay

yeah ive heard a lot about this on the radio, the cops want a 15%(?) increase in wages over 3 yrs and are being offered 9%.

So yeah, no infringements (said the cop guy on the radio) but still court action.

be polite and show some skin and who knows what you can get away with...

Yeah, all well and good, but a dude showing ass to a police officer is going to land you in court regardless :P

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21...340-948,00.html <- this is the article in the news at the moment. Mr dickhead colin had the nerve to make such a gaffe as to insinuate that he would offer the WA Police a %12.9 payrise over 3 years and then say later on "sorry, my bad, that's not what I meant..."

Either way, bear in mind that the WA Police still have a job to do and if your acting up bad enough, they are still going to do you for it.

Yeah I can totally picture a cop pulling someone over for drink driving, then giving them a caution & send off the summons later. Enjoy the rest of your drive home mate. It's just more media bullshit blown up really, if you're doing like 10-20 over they will prob pull you over but instead of fining you tell you you're a idiot & let you go on your way. If you're doing 50 over then they will probably tow your car anyway, but if not you would still go to the court & go through the process anyway.

The funny thing I find is that the cops have said they will stop giving out traffic fines so the government gets the message about how much money they won't recieve by them doing it. Just proves yet again it's about money & not "saving lives" as claimed, just too bad most of the public still won't realise that.

I was going over 200 on the freeway this morning and a cop stopped me and let me off with a warning. But fk him, I'll try for 300 on the way home this arvo :P

You're a weak kunt, me veyron does over 400 aye

I'm guessing most cops who take their jobs seriously, who think that someone they're pulling over is an honest threat, will do something about it.

But like ossie_21 said, i think they'll turn a blind eye to stuff like people doing 10-20kph over the limit or loud exhausts. who knows.

but yeah wreckless drivers will prob still get done.

i'm guessing there will always be those who will do their job even without monetary incentive...

I haven't seen any speed cameras in ages, so i can't say whether or not they're all blocked.

They'll prob just be more lenient, like sat night.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
