I remember telling an officer that I was going to contest the laser reading he gave me and he arked up about it...that might have been why :D

lol, i got the same response when a cop told me he clocked me on the in car speedo and i asked for the calibration certificate, called me every name in under the sun, he went and checked my license came back with a bretho and then told me that he was not going to give me a fine on the spot he was going to wait till i only had a few points left summons me to court and then take it off me on the spot, funnily enough when he returned with the bretho he was not wearing his name badge lol

Hahaha! See it's much easier for everyone involved if you shut up and pay the fine; and thats whats wrong here.

Whats weird is that 99% of people i talk to think the system is flawed; yet these laws couldn't be in place if the majority of people didn't support them. So I wonder what comprises the majority and where they are

right now? doing 50 in the right line over the westgate maybe? On the phone to 3aw? Riding their push bikes taking up all of beach road?

anyway....I thought we had some officers on here. Was kind of hoping one might drop his 2c. or 50c in this case. :thumbsup:

I've found some statutory declarations on the justice website; but who would we send them to? This traffic camera office place on the back of the fine?

I'm going to make a phone call tomorrow; theres a bloke who's emailed me about this and he thinks this can easily be dismissed- for a price. Anyway. Will update later.

Go back and read the thread again, one of our resident officers has posted and its clear he is a cop

Spent 20 minutes on the phone with Scott from speeding fine consultants. As with anything; it is going to require a lot of effort but if we put in; Scott says he hasn't lost a hand laser case in four years. The fee is $478 for the entire case; so if it were a normal fine for one person it wouldn't be financially viable. But since there are three of us in this case its a good deal. I don't want those points anyway.

my mate on the ktm has decided to pay his fine; since he was caught fair and sqaure and he cbf'ed making the effort; but the rest of us will meet up on the weekend and get our case together. We have to discuss what was said and take photos of where it all happened; etc...

I've just done my lic and job due to laser....there were two cars f**k knows how they pinged only me.

Maybe you need to call them, your fine was probably more than $478 wasnt it? well worth a shot!

Just spoke to scott from Speeding Fine Consultants.

You explain your situation and he gives you his honest opinion about it. If its a decent case and you want to proceed, he will charge you $400-500 for a package that includes a script to read out in court as you represent yourself. But what i found amazing was his attention to detail about finding loop holes to get you off.

Ive spoken to other lawyers like

Sean Hardy

http://www.trafficlaw.com.au/contact.html

Michal Kuzilny

http://mklawfirm.com.au/

And none of them have been as helpful as Scott! If other lawyers are telling you that you have no shot, give Scott a call and explain your situation. You might be suprisingly shocked that you actually have a very good case, like in my situation.

Just read all this, fascinating stuff. Had no idea cops hated preparing for lidar cases so much, I think I might actually fight my thirty over just to clog up the system a little.

Especially if I can get a script to read out for four hundred bucks, how much is it tailored to each case jap muscle?

Also I have started paying the fine in installments, not sure if that makes it too late to fight..

too late now, the fact your paying it means you have agree'd with it.

yeah i had that impression, will i might fight the 'drinking while driving a motor vehicle' ticket i just got even though i blew 0.00 on the breathalyser. Spent half an hour with the cop being the most polite, sweetest, rego sticker moving so he could read it better, agreeable perp ever and i STILL got a ticket for $265

most expensive beer. EVER

Im dubious on the never lost a LIDAR case lawyer, thats not that loophole finding guy that says we dont even need licences as its our 'right' to drive and who Sean Hardy who runs this traffic forum http://www.trafficlaw.com.au/forum/ makes pains to point out is full of utter crap?

This is scotts site

http://www.speedingf...ott-cooper.html

It seems legit if a little too good to be true, god i wish i had found that site before i paid the fine in December....still he apparently isnt immune to the law himself..

http://www.brisbanet...0704-1gxq0.html

hope you havent paid the guy yet Jap Muscle..:ph34r:

edit/

the guy i was thinking of who is a bit of a scammer runs some site called aussie speeding fines, its given a fair drubbing by Sean hardy on his forum, here is one example pointing out the difference between him and Scott if you get to page two

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
