Odd Police Behaviour

[Reflector]

Hey all,

Just wanted to document something out of the ordinary that happened yesterday just before closing up at work.

I had pulled my car out of the workshop and parked it in one of our bays so I could start bringing in other vehicles and wrapping up.
About 30mins-45mins later a police twin cab D-MAX pulled up out the front of my workshop - single female driver. She was in the car for a bit but I noticed her looking around and then get out and open up the back tray of her vehicle. I thought nothing of it... That was until the boys from the shop next to me informed me today that she got out a camera and started photographing my car. She was out the front for no longer than 15-20mins then as we walked outside to leave she did a U-turn and drove away.

To my recollection I have no reason to be of interest to police especially seeing as my car has just come out of the workshop after 7-8months in the build and I have a clean drivers record. It was driven twice that day, once to the autoelectricians then once back - no cops in sight, following me or pulling me over.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or something similar? It's playing on my mind as with the new hooning laws, I'm wondering if they're documenting imports and adding them to a database on their systems.

tinfoil hat!

Only thing I can think off is that she may send you an EPA letter in the mail (not sure what that is called in QLD) road worthy?

They take pictures for evidence then send you a letter in the mail.

Doubt they could possibly do anything else !

Maybe she just liked it or has a child that likes it??? Hopefully they aren't going so low as to make a database.

They already have a database of imports guys...you all have registration. My bet would be Anfwrx said, probably going to get a nice letter in the mail.

ring the police and ask?

[HiveFleetAbyss]

I'd be surprised if they answer your questions to be honest

I'm going to say she took photos because she liked it. They don't necessarily have an agenda against us and we don't have EPA here. We aren't at the point that they're coming after us parked at work or shops.

We had 7-9 skylines parked outside fulcrum, half a block down the road from the cop shop and they had no issues.

They already have a database. When we rego our cars we have to say why make and model it is.

Wonder how the skyline would look wrapped in al-foil

That's what we thought may happen, apparently it use to happen years ago but probably not as frequently now because they can just defect you on the spot much easier

I got pulled over by the 'Fatal Five' in the back of moss st one afternoon and one of the cops was very interested in finding out information about my car. Then he proceeded to pull out a 1.5" (wouldn't be exaggerating) book that he had been compiling and he should be all the information he's collected on imports...

Had someone check into it though and there's nothing logged in a database etc... so unless it hasn't come through yet, all is good

Cops do odd things, its in their natur., I've had them do illegal u bolts and speed to catch up with me just to breathalys and licence check me

I doubt it's a part of an elaborate hoon scheme but then again I could be wrong and they're all secretly scouting all our cars, and checking out everyone's shed one by one.... Because Dom you know they can't lose again

[Truffles]

Could be a conspiracy but at the end of the day, enforcing defects on imports is such a small part of the job requirement as a police officer.

I passed a Transport Inspection Station that was sneakily hidden on a back road a few months back, they were busy with a few other cars but as I drove past I caught the guys eye and he eyeballed the back of my car and took his notebook out, obviously writing my rego down, luckily enough, nothing came of it..

dam hoons doing donuts in the local streets are putting the responsible drivers under increased watch and investigations.

[Captain Natro]

Had some nob smoker in a van do a peg leg skid near work the other day.... Just wtf, WHY! Now the cops are gona be like "hoons this hoons that your a hoon, look he's got black wheels HE'S A HOON! Gedim"

war driving back from an 18th to home, got pulled over, had a roadside inspection done, no defects just notes taken down and telling what was done when i bought the car, then they continued to take about 20 photos of everything including my interior. then they drove off all fine and i got a letter a few days later saying i have been noted and defected

wow wow wow - how ?

Far as I'm concerned if no defect was given on the spot how can there be a defect. What society needs is a uproar from us the people against the government and the police and make it clear we are gonna roll over and take their shat anymore.
