Its a bit nasty!

[Rocket R31]

Pulled into my local Mobil last night, To find the Cops in there XR6 turbo grabbing everyone who came in to either roadworthy, breath test and license check people.

Its a bit nasty, all you want to do is pull in for fuel and you get canary'd. I saw a few guys parked looking a bit upset with a sticker on the windshield, and you've never seen so many people in new SS commodores slowly sneaking out up the road not revving above 2 grand.... Thank christ I was filling up Mums Festiva :wassup:

[urbanoperations]

damn, they will do anything these days, if steve bracks said pick up the soap they would pik it up and steve bracks would give them a fat one up the arese ...

[doxximus]

thats rediculous

[PurpleR32]

If it was indeed IN the mobil station grounds, wernt the police issuing the defect on private property?

Did i read somewhere that police can only issue defects on public property?

forgot to add bracks suckes the big wang. fu(k all you runts who voted for him

end rant

[T0nyGTSt]

In NSW they can do it in private car parks (McDonalds/KFC/Jacks seems to be popular!)

If I was the proprietor of the servo I would tell the cops to get farked... they are on my property, stopping me from making my living.

Yeah, It was in the service station. I used to work there and they'd come round once a month and do it, so I don't think theres any rules about private property?

A petrol station isn't "private property" due to the fact that there is public access.

And as far as I know, Police can defect a vehicle anywhere, including in your driveway.

I understand this to be true as well, as long as there is no gate or fence etc. Doesnt mean its right tho.

Where is this servo? Is it a Quix?

[Guest INASNT]

Which servo was this?

[EnricoPalazzo]

i was defected in my driveway about a year ago. They can get u anywhere

[Guest INASNT]

If u have a gate, and its closed they cant come in and do shit without a warrant.

[funkymonkey]

remember to lock your gates tho, coz if its open they don't need a warrant, just like your house, if you leave the door open they can enter without a warrant

:bs!: Doesnt that mean they would never need a warrant because they could just walk in as soon as you unlock the door to see who it is?

They must have a warrant or your permission to enter your house.

i believe this would have been the mobil on the corner of burwood hwy and stud rd in knox.

Correct me if im wrong ben.

It's also one of those jurisdiction things...

If you have a pound of weed in your glovebox while you are driving, it's free and clear for prosecution. They can search with provocation.

If the car is parked in your garage and they have no warrant, it's forfeited as inadmissable.

If you have the pound of weed sitting on your dining room table as the cops come in on a non-related matter, it is admissable as a incidental seizure.

I can only see the cops getting more and more cavalier in their approach towards modified cars so I think we're all eventually forced back to more stock performance cars like M3's, s2000 etc.

shit im lucky then, i was gonna go home that way and get fuel from there, but went a different way instead.

[funkymonkey]

if the door is open and unattended and they have reasonable doubt as to your safety they can enter technicality

[patboyy34]

never get cautch by those di(k heads, lucky.......

[SKY031]

Technically, if you leave your door unlocked, anyone can walk in without permission.... and if you assault them or hurt them in anyway, then YOU are the one at fault. If someone wanders into your house, you can ask them to leave, but until you have asked them to leave, theres absolutely nothing within the law that says they cant be there.

The law is a very strange thing.
