all the people getting done on suspicion should call the Victoria Police Ethical Standards Department and see what they have to say. From reading on here about what has allegedly happened to some people, I think they would be pretty interested in what has been going on. I'd also write to the papers so the general public are aware of it.

All seems a bit wrong to me, but I'm not a cop or a lawyer so I don't know.

Mere suspicion alone will suffice for a police officer (PO) to issue you with an EPA notice.

If he is wrong and the matter is taken to court, the PO would have acted within the ambit of his power,

unless it can be established beyond reasonable doubt that the suspicion was poorly formed (that is, whether a reasonable

person in the same position would have evoked the same suspicion or not).

Some factors that will substantiate suspicion include:

a) The vehicle being a common vehicle that is modified and thus in violation of EPA laws.

b) The very presence of an after market exhaust.

Thus, theoretically you can challenge an EPA notice that is made on the grounds of unwarranted suspicion, but it is highly unlikely that

you will succeed. In addition to the above, the PO never 'lies' and magistrates are extremely favourable towards a PO in accepting their integrity and thus in preventing the ''possible obstruction or hindrance'' of the implementation of the law.

NB: I'm a Lawyer. So this isn't a google opinion or something lol.

Good post, thanks for clearing that up. It's going to always be difficult to fight something like an EPA notice, or a defect. I imagine the outcome of such a court case would be based on the individual circumstances; eg if I showed the PO 'evidence' to suggest the exhaust was legal (i.e exhaust reading certificate or something) one could argue that this would address any 'reasonable ground for suspicion'?

A final thought:

My understanding is that you can legally record any conversation that you are a party to without their knowing or consent.

I recommend that everybody records their conversations with police, because they occasionally 'forget' things on the stand or make things up, i've witnessed it first hand. I just use my phone.

A final thought:

Exactly right, if you can prove that your vehicle is legal and the PO ignores this, then that suspicion does not amount to reasonable suspicion.

See below.

As above, you can record any conversation you are privy to without the consent of the other party.

Note that police also often record the conversation so be careful of being tricked into admissions.

there was a blitz in hastings last night, in about 15 minutes i saw 7 cop cars and two bikes and about 5 of them had bommodores with big exhausts pulled over. there are not many imports on the peninsula, so i didnt see any of them in trouble.

i managed to outsmart them though by having my 'line pulled apart in the shed, thus unable to be defected :rofl:

Paul, it's fair enough to say "remain on on topic", but how can cops blitz loud cars when there's harleys everywhere that are louder than most street cars kicking around?

MUZT3K, many of these offenders aren't from the stereotypical bikie clans. It's a joke.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.

      By Matt Z · Posted

      Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
