In regards to recording it.. not too sure about that - make sure you tell them you are doing it first.. or they tend to get nasty..

As for videoing it.. well you could.. not to sure though.. someone should get it checked out.

Mates got in trouble for locking their phone - cop was abusing them "are you recording this.. you better not be recording this" all he did was lock his phone and the light goes on.. silly silly..

I also believe the best you could do would be to record it.. most won't let you video it. always ask for their details 2..

you are allowed to record anything you want, wait for them to start abusing you, then say "oh, did i mension you are being recorded" then, if they abuse you some more, send the tape to their bosses.

everyone beleives the cop and not the hoon, but if you have at least audio evidence, youll be ok.

Guys.. guess what.. I called the police complaint centre today trying to file a complain against the officer who verbally abuse me when i was pulled over as mentioned above. I am so SURPISE. "In the court of Australia, the word "F*CK" is actually deem not to be offensive." So there is nothing wrong with the police officer who actually said it. Therefore, they can't file the complaint. LOL...... So next time when the police officer pull me over...

"Good morning fu*king officer, why the f*ck you pull me over, wat the f*ck did i do?"

Unbelievable and disppointed. :s

They're friggen cops. They deserve that name. I got done by a parking inspector today for parking in my own bloody driveway.....anyways to the matter at hand:

1: A police may record any conversation he is a party to.

2: A civilian may record any conversation they are a party to.

3: You do not have to answer an police questioning, besides your name, details etc.

4: Police cannot search your car unless they are searching for a weapon or radar detector, or have reason to believe that you have a radar detector or weapon.

They can use abusive language, that is legal, but cannot assault you (create an imminent sense of danger or harm.) Its handy (particulalry) for us Skyline drivers to carry some sort of recording device, for future reference :P.

Guys remember, that when you get pulled over, it is essential that you remain calm and polite at all times. Make sure you answer as little as possible, query the police officer of his judgement, for example, in this case where he said the car was too low, you should have asked him to measure it accurately as the law permits 10cm clearance and so on. Keep a cool head, think smart and the cop will leave you alone.

In terms of speeding and other infringements etc, the cop will first try and gain an admission. "Why were you speeding?" Any sort of answer to that question proves your guilt. The best answer being "I wasn't" or NO REPLY.

If you have a moody, abusive cop, first respond politely. If he still continues, that's when you rip out the attitude. So long as you can back yourself up, you're set.

Damn I love the Criminal Procedure unit @ Uni.

After exams I think I might write up exact details and laws people can refer to in relation to Police Powers in Victoria and post them on this forum......just because most cops are drainers and I hate them. I'd love to see the look on a cops face when you give them the name of the act, section and sub-section that governs the exact act that they are engaging in! :P

A mate of mine was pulled over in his trueno (wasn't speeding), and when the cop came to the window he said he was "exceeding the speed limit by 17kmh". Considering he wasn't speeding, my mate then says "Can I see your readout then???" Without answering the question, said cop says to pop the hood.

You still have to be careful in the way you talk to them regardless, because the police trump card is their ability to search cars for defects (and they will find something), meaning if they really want to f*ck you over they will f*ck you over. Remember that's not offensive in the courts of Australia. :P

But back to the topic at hand he shouldn't have been able to speak to you like that, but just get a voice recorder & keep it in your glovebox for if there is a next time. :P

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
