I have noticed yesterday around belconnen and civic there have been loads of cops driving around and doing license and car inspections. Has anyone noticed this too or know why?

Yeh Mate, I have noticed it alot. I usually see at least 4 cop cars or paddy wagons everytime I head out. They are everywhere. I've seen motorcycle cops in the middle of roads with radar guns, Pursuit Cars hiding down from Speed Vans.

How vigorous are the inspections you have seen? are they just checking stickers?

I wasn't in my skyline..... lucky. But the things they checked was just rego and tires.

I haven't noticed anymore than usual but I'm southside. Filled up at BP next to a red AFP car last night but that's about it, haven't seen many others at all...

Maybe there's a blitz on the northside or something?

Yeah, too many awesome cars on the northside. Probably trying to fix the ratio

Are you sure? Even the ones with Australia Federal Police written down the side? and the guy who was filling up was in full constable uniform

yeh a Xmas Cruise would be awesome.

I think you will find that Feds dont waste their time with petty traffic infringements and motor vehicle related matters. They leave that to ACT Policing.

I think there has been a substantial number of recruits over the last several months. Must have graduated and started duties.

Certainly they are not a "not-for-profit" organisation.

I wonder if you can buy shares? But as Tax payers I suppose we are shareholders of sorts. When do they pay the dividends from our shares? I could use the money to pay the fines and increase my share holdings.

massive roadside inspections going on monaro highway northbound just before the new gaol intersection.

that was still there when i drove past 10mins ago. im glad i left before they started.

Long gully/mugga lane is fine, that's the way I went back from hume.

Also, don't go back through QBN, just in case. there was a cop with a radar gun, but I wouldn't put it past him wanting to inspect ppl (not that I think he's allowed lol)

Keep your cars legal and ya shouldn't have issues ....

I got defected a month ago now and it just aint worth the hastles anymore to drive it with too many mods , if ya gonna mod keep it within the guidelines

Had to spend over $1500 in one week clearing defects it just aint worth it ...

The only problem I have with this is that the last time I was defected, the cop & RTA dudes ignored my engineers certificate. I have my wheels and FMIC engineered by Ray Spence, passed Dickson with no issues, yet on the side of the road they didn't seem to care.. So I just find it easier for myself to avoid the roadside inspections.

Just to clarify. The guys in red cars with Australian Federal Police written down the side are called Uniform Protection Officers and deal primarily with Guarding high profile government officials, bomb threats, embassy related matters, terrorism, they are not instructed to perform general traffic duties. When I say ACT policing its general title given to regular police officers around canberra, because technically AFP are national. Federal Agents, Uniform Protection officers etc wouldnt waste there time pulling you over unless you had a bomb or some of columbias finest.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
