Ever Dobbed Someone In?

[KezR33]

Was coming home from work (shitty night shift I shouldn't have agreed to do) and was following this beat up old Commodore that could not stay in its own lane. It was swerving in and out and nearly ran off the road twice. Took the plates, drove home (was 1min away) and called the cops.

I know it was the right thing to do, but I still feel kinda shitty about it. Plus calling the cops is always intimidating as they take YOUR details too.

Anyone else do this? I've seen dangerous stuff on the road all the time, never bothered to call before. It was just that this guy (or girl) seemed absolutely wasted.

I call the EPA all the time for smokey Vehicles.

Get the EPA doing some real work rather than chasing cars that are tuned BETTER than factory emissions

i live on a street known for speed runs. So i call to report often. But only recently have i seen a unmarked car sitting beside on of the factories down the road.

And one time going through Geelong a car full of bogan's drove past pointing a real looking toy gun at other car's, didn't think much of it. Until they pointed it at me and and did the asian eye thing to my partner.

So i rang the cops and gave them the details and followed them untill they turned off. Got a call a short while later telling me they picked up the car and it was only a toy gun but they did find other stuff in the car and the driver was drunk and thanked me for calling it in just incase

Good call..

called in an arsonist (kid poured petrol over a tree set fire to it and ran away, stalked him to where he went and called the coppers). Never really been tempted to dob in a motorist though, regardless of how much of an arse they drive like.

Reporting or Reprisal ?

Tried it on a couple of occasions. Cops not interested - "we have to see it", what a BS excuse.

One was a guy sucking on a VB while driving, other one was a pair of idiot bikers doing monos up Burwood Hwy.

...and if you catch it on mobile phone camera, you get charged for operating a mobile! catch-22

Actually a fellow Skyline enthusiast did the other day when we were parked at a local cruising spot talking, and a random commodore pulled up and threw water bombs at our Skylines. My other mate and I weren't too worried, but as was pointed out we would have been pissed off if the balloons had had something in them or eggs. Lucky the cop was driving past 30 seconds later to wave down.

Don't feel shitty at all mate. You owe him/her no loyalty...you need to acknowledge this is someone who obviously doesn't give enough of a shit about your life or any elses to drive safely in the first place. The police are the law enforcers but communities working together have much more power - if everyone did what you did then the roads would be a much safer place. Most people including myself won't take a minute out of their day to do what's right for the community and report them. Don't worry about police taking your details: under the privacy act these will never be disclosed to anyone but law enforcement...even if you appear as a witness in court.

Hahaha hypocrisy being the defining characteristic of a human being, you'll never pefect anti-hypocrisy anyway so just make the call without thinking

I was going to dob some idiot for pulling out infront of me one night, so I got a bit closer to their rear to kinda signal "Hey! Speed up!"

And the ppl in the back seat through cigarette wrapping and I was gonna call EPA, but let it off cuz I CBF doing all the paper work on line for it.

On another issue, my sister was cut off while driving and hit the curb.

She chased after the car to get the number plate and the driver said he "did not see her" when she pulled up next to him...

Bloody bullshit! Damn FOB's gota learn to drive.

So I went with her to the cops and reported the number plate.

I guess from now on if I see ppl doing stupid shit, just report them to the EPA and make'em do an exhaust test, just to give them the shits.

Haha!

yeah man. f**k them. if they want to endanger innocent peoples lives then they can suffer the consequences.

The other day 2 idiots in an old shit bomb car were clearly drunk on a weekday afternoon. They were swerving, nearly ran into the back of my car, mounted kerbs because they could not control the car.

I called the police to give them the cars details. I also followed the car (to see where they were going so the police could attend) but once they saw me follow them they took off even faster and nearly lost it around a busy intersection. I didn't bother following them after that.

Don't feel bad.

i got some ethnic's (no other way of putting with out singling out a race so deal with it) next door and for some reason they like to hose there driveway down!

i called water dudes 3times, they go 1 warning and 2fines. they haven't done it for a while now, stupid fools never heard of a broom!

[Sami]

u guys are ALL fried... if u get an EPA letter u ball your eyes out but u would call EPA and dob someone in

fair enough if they are drunk or being stupid but if theres some smoke coming out the exhaust maybe they cant efford a car u dipshits

thats my opinion. .. yours might be different but if ur the type that gets a giggle or a thrill at someone else's expense then i have no respect for u

[Peter89]

i have followed a few people after they cut me off, made sure they got the message. a loud horn is so handy.

have yet to call the police considering i would hate it if someone called them on me. however, if it was clear a driver was drunk or highly confused (wrong side of road etc) i would.

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

Sami, your an idiot.

And who cares if they can't afford a new car? They are driving a shit box with smoke coming out of everywhere.

If they have the right to to call hoon hotline or report any skyline to the EPA because they see a young driver behind the wheel.

I think we have the right to report who is actually in the wrong. I think thats pretty fair.
