Hoon Taskforce Southeast Suburbs

[Jack-]

Hey guys, listening to 3AW this morning, VicPol is setting up a trial taskforce in the Dandenong, kardinia and casey(?) area. They said it will be trialled for 3 months. This taskforce is specifically targeting hoon drivers, drag racing, overloading etc. There was also mention it will try and act as a deterrent to hoons who gather and meet up. I had a quick google couldn't find any articles on it yet. Just a heads up!

Sounds like late night shoot-em-ups will be common place soon, and my place is opposite the industrial estate frequented by drifters... Time for steel plate fencing?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Well if they are targetting illegal activity that is good! At the end of the day its this stuff that is making it harder and harder to own a modified car!

But if they are targetting like minded car guys/gals and modified cars then that is a negative!

Lol what a joke. All the pol officers do is walk around bashing people and shoot at them.

That fg meet was a joke, they defected someone for missing a screw in one of the back speakers.

WTF?

No, it's fine Aaron, they have only shot at 6 or 7 cars in the last year apparently...

There was also mention it will try and act as a deterrent to hoons who gather and meet up.

That is exactly what will happen though. Police breaking up totally HARMLESS gatherings, defects, assaulting members of the public etc etc.

It's only going to get worse.

Tougher you try to behave, the more resistance you are going to get

Lol

[blah_blah]

What if Aaron organised a Mercedes Benz VIC meet up?

Would the highway patrol come, break up the crowd, tell people to move on and go over the cars for defects?

[Leroy Peterson]

indicator stick on the wrong side: defect.

I know this is off topic, but will the Vic cops defect NSW cars coming through? I only ask as i will be a few times this year!

id like to see the proof of this because the legal litigations that this would cause if you were to take it on would be an interesting matter.

Casey is if i am not mistaken.. the following :

Narre Warren North

Narre Warren South

Gembrook

Dandenong

Cranbourne

Just another way Vic Police is stopping itself from doing real police work. Thieves and Killers can breath easy tonight, knowing that the cops are doing nothing to stop them, but are doing everything they can do stop like minded people getting together to enjoy a similar intererst

No, they can defect it, but once you cross the border the defect is useless

Lol proof? I saw the defect notice? Lol by all means it wasn't the only thing he was done for

[34GeeTeeTee]

So do you guys cop a fine etc with the defect? I assume when returning to VIC the defect will remain and can cause a hassle? I guess this is kind of off topic a bit

was this contested in anyway! all good just getting cleared but if its not raised its goes un-noticed

i dont believe this to be the case which goes for the same as plates/licence because they have no authority/jurisdiction for it....This is why they push for a change of plates/licence in any given state

This is also the same for truck drivers which is why they have now been moved to an National licence to avoid the issue.

This is also the same for local HWP etc as they can not book/fine/defect outside their jurisdiction of given area/lac
