Officer Pettiet - knox TMU - TOTAL WANKER

[INASNT]

Considering all the $165 driving a defecting vehicle fines he must be handing out, i think the conflict of interest would be put on the back burner. $$ raising comes first in victoria

sounds really bad guys My heart goes out to you. Here in adelaide the coppers are just as bad. my car is quite modde BUT to the untrained eye you would never pick it, goty pulled over by a copper down by the bay and he came running up to the car yelling "pull over and pop your bonnet", I did so and he said " you have blow off valve" I replied yes i have a factory blow off valve' he said ' its against ADR to have a blow off valve " I said " with all due respect do you know what you are on about?" all late model turbo cars have factory bov's " he didnt know what to say and walked off.

NOw that was a clear case of harrassment BUT if you handle the situation right you will not have any dramas if you know your shit.

Here's an article from last Sundays Age.

http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/09/05/1...4322623513.html

This particular officer is Frankston's version of Officer Pettiet.

I have received a few "random inspections" and bulls**t defects from this officer. I don't condone what was done, especially in front of his wife and child, but it just goes to show that the saying "nice things happen to nice people" works the other way as well.

I got pulled over right out the front of Knox police station a couple of days after I picked up my car Dont know if it was this cop your all talking about but as the car was fresh from a dealer it was roadworthy no problem there the problem came when he did the licence check- the dealer still hadnt put the forms into vic roads so technically it was still registered to them thats where all the fun started. Had the paperwork from the sale in the glovebox but it still took about 15 min to convince him it was my car.

See what i mean its total bullshit....this guy is just driving along normally...happens to drive past knox cop shop and because he is driving a skyline he gets pulled over for no reason. . . . same thing happens to the canary yellow VL turbos

I have a mate who was pulled over by the Officer in question, my mate drives a bt1 vlt. Got away without a defect or epa. He was told to get some bits engineered, and it would be fine.

So I dont know, i have a theory it comes down to a few things

1. P Plates

2. Ride height - I have a theory that if they cant see an obvious issue with height, they will be less inclined pulling you over and attempting to find something else. If they can see it might be too low, they know they have you on something already.

3. Driving attitude.

4. personalised plates

I guess you can be unlucky. But IMO, end of the day it is only a car, and it is only money. You cant take either one with you when you die.

I have had my car almost 2 years, never been pulled over or epa'ed. Maybe i have just been lucky. That said i will prob get pulled straight away hehe.

Personalised Plates? How on earth would these play a part in making your car defective... more so, why would these get you pulled over?

I could understand derogatory terms/phrases would get a high amount of interest, but, it is my understanding that VicRoads, RTA, et al have a screening process to nut out ppl who would try and register 'banned' make-ups. I have heard, on these forums, of an instance where someone had something on their plates which was eventually ordered stripped from the car due to public 'outcry'.. however, these instances far outweigh the norm...

Plus anyone who would take the path of getting a 'COPSUX', '***YOU' type of plate, then yeah, they deserve all the 'attention' they get from the law.

Anywhos...

Haz that article is crazy, just showes that he could have been an asshole cop and obviously pissed off teh wrong people. It also shows you what does happen if you do piss off the wrong people and most importantly "what goes around comes around".

You never know this Pettiet character may be named after something on his body being Pettiet, and now he's angry at the whole world for it. I do think something may happen if he does piss too many or the wrong people off!

take it easy

I didnt mean it would make the car defective, they just stand out more and attract more attention. I agree that negative attention is unfair.

It is easier for people to remember cars with personalised plates compared with cars with general issue ones.

Thats why i sold my personalised plates as you always notice a car with personalised plates more even if stock than one with normal plates.

whoa lot of stuff to read

in regards to this officer, yeah he is pretty strict...but he kinda has a right to be in a way. In terms of givin out dodge defectives, yer thats not on. in terms of power to weight, i know this dude is really tight on it, but i guesssss he does have a point. wat i wanna ask him in reference to P/W is why they dont include driver weight into it, because if the p plater is in question, their weight becomes part of the cars weight, i dunno. just havin a rant

Azron: personalised plates man, it attracts attention. when i had normal plates, nothin happened. as soon as i got personal plates, i been pulled over heaps. all abotu attention sadly

LAST THING guys, be careful wat u say in these forums, because i know 100% they do read these....so just watch out
