Cop Takes Pics Of Car = Epa?

[SS8_Gohan]

not sure where you are, but Dan @ Midas Brighton works on quite a few imports, he could probably sort out your exhaust, or at least give you an honest opinion on what can/can't be done to it.

I'm surprised about them taking photographs of engine bays unless it's for evidence of offence which EPA is not.

I just worked traffic car shift tonight and very surprised at how well everyone was behaving. Only gave out 10 fines with the worst offender an unlicensed driver doing 40+km/h over speed limit but she was running late to her shift at the Brothel.

Did she offer a free "full service" to get out of the fine?

lol

i was on my way back home from church which is like a 5min drive, doing 60 down a 70 road. this marked car going the opposite way spots me, puts his lights on, runs a red light does a u-turn comes speeding towards me and tells me to pull over.... yeah just doing his job ha lol

oh well

Stud road last night about 10:30?

The TMU around Knox ALWAYS take photo's, they obviously want to be thorough and make sure that there is no discrepancy.

lol at spare tyre comment, some cars don't even come with them from factrory, 206 GTi being one of them, instead they come with a can of that green tyre repair goo. Next they'll defect you for running a space saver on your car because it's a different width to the other tyre on the same axle! lol at stupid heavy handed cops!

We don't have these problems in the west!

Do you know if it was TMU or just joe plod, most joe plods would know very little about this sort of thing so i wouldnt be surprised if they take pictures to show TMU to see if they can find something wrong.

[BeEnAr]

sorry, double post

[geraus]

thats pretty harsh taking pictures?? dammm

lol @ you dildos driving your imports on the Easter weekend!

The amount of cops up here is making it look like Melbourne almost! Thank god I've got the 1200 to drive around in!

Yeah I read this morning's Herald Sun headlines, it appears that baby boomers are reaching the age of senility early.

[R-SPEC]

not everyone has a daily/2nd car to drive around in...

btw this was on sydney rd campbellfield (north/west)

[bozodos]

I'd just not drive or go cruising, dunno about down there, but up here the TMU has a field day on anyone who's stupid enough to bring out their modified cars (except of course for wankers in their "muscle cars")...

used to be good driving my very loud SS in Melb, had NSW rego which for 99% of Victorian cops was too much trouble to give defects out to

The police officer who took the photo of my engine bay told me that the picture is for the EPA, if the EPA see something in the pic that they want to see in person, they will send me a letter to go to Macleod.

i dont think u will get a warning you'll either get told to go epa for test or nothing.. but i doubt it will be nothing. Almost any place can tuck ur exhaust i went to flexifit in hoppers crossing but yeh try another shop it can always go higher

yeh itll be the breather filter thats got ya stuffed..

epa wont do u for the hole in the chassis the cops will do u for that.

I got a warning, telling me to put part back to standard (Cooler or airbox), maybe because it was my first EPA, who knows, they were probably swamped with cars to test.

i was on my way back home from church...

y-y-y-y-y-y-y-mean, y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-you d-d-d-d-d-din't ask h-h-h-h-h-h-h-him if h-h-h-h-h-h-he w-w-w-w-w-w-w-wouldn't l-l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-t-t-t-t-to b-b-b-b-b-b-buy a bible?

[Russman]

They'll sometimes scare ya with those EPA things, got told i'd have an epa in the mail.. 2-3 months later still nothing..

Depend how lazy they are. I've had the same thing but I've also had an epa notice and the cop didn't even mention it

[alr33x]

yeh spoton russman some threatin you and nothing comes of it others just suprise you

I prefer threats anyday haha.

Funny thing was that my V8 commodore was ridiculously loud and an EPA would have been fine so I would have an excuse to put a muffler on it. That notice never came...

Then the suprise EPA on the skyline was a nightmare!

Is there some sort of law that allows them to take a picture of the engine bay in your car

I havent heard about it, did they ask your permission to do that

[alr33x]

they took pictures inside my car as well.. i think it would come under evidence gathering for illegal / unroadworthy mods.. as if your gonna argue with them though really they'll just get the baton right up ya if u do
