Police

[Kyles]

I think its about time we do somthing about being harrassed by police. Its not fair for the people with nice cars doing the right thing!

I think if everyone writes a complaint to one of the following, maby somthing may happen..

Police Headquaters

2 Adelaide Terrace

East Perth 6004

Traffic and Opperations support

Police headquaters

2 Adelaide Terrace

East perth 6004

Professional Standards

Public trustee building

3rd Floor 565 Hay street

Perth 6000

maby we need to find a australian wide adress.. because its not just happening in WA.

Well go get em!

[skyzerr33]

People bear in mind this is a serious thread and only aimed at those handfull of bad police who kick into god mode and harrass people.

Ways you can go are to start a petition etc etc, go to the media though we all know they will make it look bad for the car clubs etc.

good luck sexy but i don't like your chances

[Kyles]

Well its not my argument... I dont drive a car yet!

Some kids on p's in albany got fed up on being floowed and harrased by cops and wrote to the local mp or somthing like that.. and it stoped.

I think if enough of us put up a fight then.. somthing may happen..

I stopped wearing my P's just so I could make a journey without being pulled over 3-4 times a day (nothing came from them).

Kyles what you say is so true. On the way to the sydney cruise from the south west suburbs like canley vale on Friday night I saw cop cars everywhere booking people. Not just done up cars but normal cars too. This is so wrong. Mr Costa has a personal vendetta against car enthusiasts or something. I wish he sopke to the young people and see what they have to say. Our generation needs a strong leader who we can talk through to get our message across to the public. So many cars of late are getting defects for such silly things. Its like its a crime now to have a nice car or socialise. I am very concerned with the current situation that I am so scared to take my car out now. I was hesistant to even go out on the friday night cruise.

Someone i used to know had a cop who i had (3 defect encounters with) following him and pulling him over a few times a day at one stage even pinning him for his car being dirty, to dirty to see the plates. He in the end threatened to make harrassment complaint to the local area commander and they backed right off.... they now just drive past him

P's dont help.....

/me cues Ice Cube - Right Here, right Now .. puffs out his chest (Minh Style ©) .. steps outta the crowd .....

... only to have a defect slapped on his forehead ..... Minh, help !!! someone stuck a P Plate on my back !!!

(if anything just down the track, it's got attitude !)

For the record,

I _AM_ doing something about it, I wrote a letter regarding my concerns of the police officer's attitude/manner towards me being pulled over about 3 weeks ago for "Driving without due care and attention" (my $100/3 point debarkle)

Last week I recieved a letter of confirmation about my complaint and they said " a reply will be forthcoming" God knows how long that will take, but in the meantime I don't have to pay or have the points against my license. YAY!

I'll keep everyone posted though.

Good luck with your idea Kylie..... here's hoping huh !

[JiMb0]

It may be worthwhile putting up a copy of the letter you sent. I know a lot of people who stay quiet about their concerns due to the fact half of them don't know how to put it on paper, whether it be due to lack of formal writing skills or just being illiterates.

If you give people an idea of what you've written they may be able to edit it to suit their circumstances and start the letters rolling in.

Obviously any private material would be removed, just an idea though ....

[ix9]

Good idea.. letter is below. ***** is personal information removed.

**REMOVED**

______________________

Hope this helps for people that don't know how to write a letter..

This is my first go at soundin professional so we'll see what comes out of it.

[two40]

very good first attempt!

i usually try to keep things simple and to the point. ppl tend to loose interest when you start ranting on a bit. (not saying that you were, just in general)

[skyzerr33]

Kym

that letter could put you in the shit.

Your admitting to reckless driving:- picking the phone up, which can cause u to take your eyes off the road.

and using the phone while driving:- you may not of been one the passengers probably, but by saying putting it back into the cradle can allude to you talking on it while driving.

Not trying to be a bastard just saying what some police may read into the letter.

[Pva_Glue]

Well as I said "DO NOT ADMIT ANYTHING...."

Do not admit you did do it

[JiMb0]

So rule of thumb ... Keep it simple ?

[Squizz]

Step one,

Find an Officer of the law...

:evil:

step two, render them unconcious...

:fart:

step three, take them to a brothel and wake them up...

:tomato: :whip:

step four, vidoe tape their adventures...

Step Five... Send video to superintendant - job well done.

[Squizz]

Now for a serious reply...

I did contest a ticket once and I got the ticket revoked, but in the same envelope I got another ticket for a slightly different offence with the details changed to reflect my story... bastards! (the other person I got pulled up with was dumb enough admit what we were doing into the tape recorder... :cuss: )

SO DENY DENY DENY AND DEMAND PROOF!!!

and using the phone while driving:-

Dammit! I never thought of that, but honestly, why would I be using the phone if I have a cradle for handsfree operation ???

hopefully they read into it FAR enough to see that.

And yeah, I was charging a friends phone in my cradle, i was putting my phone back, thus, "placing it in the cradle"

Simple huh.

Oh yeah, I shouldn't have admitted it hey *woops*

[JiMb0]

I guess if you left the phone rolling around under your feet it may have caused more of a hazard by getting behind your pedals and rendering your abilty to use the brake/accel/clutch .......

Just something you could argue if they say you should have not worried about the phone whilst driving ....
