Drkside Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I'm gonna agree that police officers in Perth are fair. Anything I have been booked for has always been something I did wrong, I've even had my fair share of "we are just warning you today MR Hughes". However 3 weeks ago when driving home one friday night a got pulled aside in an RBT and the cop went over the car with a fine tooth comb. He picked on my "too hard" suspension and even asked me what my alarm siren was? It was when I told him that it was an alarm siren that he let me go. Musta felt real silly. I was very nice to this guy but lost respect for him after that.

Steve Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Drkside, quite possible thats why they sent him out there, to check any cars that look like they have been modified - sort of like a defect station (as they have over east). did you end up getting a defect for the suspension? Speaking of suspension, I just re-checked mine today, as I fitted new coilovers recently and wanted to make sure the heights hadnt changed too much, or unevenly, which can happen when springs settle and sag after you first fit them..... 78mm off the ground, min legal in Aust is 100mm. So glad the guys didnt pull out a tape measure, but now my car looks like a 4WD (its back to 100mm) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78249-how-good-are-the-cops-in-perth/page/2/#findComment-1431126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

teejay Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 heres a tip : if you get pulled over with no rego, simply ring your credit card number through the dpi and get a instant permit, then drive home Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78249-how-good-are-the-cops-in-perth/page/2/#findComment-1437252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_8OO5TED_ Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 He told me to make sure I get permits when I transfer the rego, as its a $100 fine for any mod without a permit Are you for real? $100 per mod without a permit? I think the cop had a hold of your nuts when he dropped that on ya, thats the first I have heard of such a thing as this....
