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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
