The one thing i disagree with cops doing is holding back and hoping for you to do stupid shit. The cops should have pulled them over immediately eg for putting hands out and legs and driving dangerously. Cops secretly want you to run so they can chase and have a reason to treat the roads like a go kart track all for the reason of "chasing down".

Stupid bike rider =P, always check behind for a commodore or falcon before having a lil fun on the roads....

i also check for a silver camry, black evo 10, silver golf and a long list of other under cover cars that they use.

I echo this sentiment exactly. And who cares about swearing? I curse like a sailor at work, why is it different for police when they're in the privacy of their HWP car?

i totally disagree. they shouldn't be swearing they should've been saying "oh darn" and "what a silly goose", LOL. if i was the cop it would've just been strings of swear words, not just the occasional swear word.

i think you can also sort of tell from this thread they type of people who, when pulled over for a random stop, are generally polite, and those who probably get all defensive and start by saying "what'd you pull me over for? i ain't dun nuffin wrong? you're just picking on my coz i drive a hektic skyline" LOL

Lol @ The bloke on the bike running for just dicking around then! If he had done shit all wrong, then he had shit all to be worried about. Running from the police was the only reason they were in a pursuit. I know from my shitty experience with police pursuits, that they well and truely are not worth it. If i had stopped, i probably would have been on a 3 month holiday from my license. Instead, i got 2 years which i deserved. Another thing worth noting is because MOST POLICE break the pursuit, i was of the opinion i could easily get away like i had previously. If i hadnt had the one that chased me down, god knows how many times i would have done it.

hm, until you are polite and still you meet a dick of a cop who insists your stock front mount is a modification.

i say, there needs to be a transparent audit on the attitudes some cops have towards import owners. Why is it that I get shoo-ed away when i found parts off my stolen car for sale online, and get told "we are doing our best" but then never hear from them ever again? But i get pulled about half the times i take my R out for a drive. If they have the time to be out pulling over import drivers, i'm sure they can find the time hunting down some dodgy thieves and resellers.

As said the motor biker is a idiot, but it would be interesting to see what a police review would say about the constables actions in the chase....

Remember people, give way to emergency vehicles but "only when safe to do so".

Just reading between the lines OT, I gather that misuse of public money is going into gestapo policing methods? - when in fact their job description could be altered into more constructive use?

I'm assuming by "more constructive use" you mean a reformation of the duties of police?

Remove their free play time in the squad cars? haha

I'm keen to know all your opinions on this one...

What a story to brag to your mates, and grand children! come off it, this is the sort of thing a cop dreams of, chasing the baddies etc etc.. even though it turned out to be just some knucklehead who seems to have watched a bit too much Tron.

loved the un-edited version too, "f*ckin ram him, ram him!!" lol

I feel like they need to be told that they're giving the other top cops a very VERY poor name...

You do realize their orders/directive comes from the Top Brass?

It’s not giving them a bad name at all, it’s doing exactly what the majority of the community are lobbying for.

Enough of the “cop/police threads” that just turn into a story for “this is your life”.

If you want to do something… Then gather together similar minded people in your local electorate. Then go lobby your local parliamentary representative.

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
