What happened to free speech? There is no way that prosecution can come from some internet nerd (such as myself) telling random stories.

Just on the persecution comment... that is not entirely true. All forms of publications be it physical or on the internet are legally binding.

Electronic forms of communication such as email, blogs and forum posts all fall into this category. They are just like you putting pen to paper... it is written with your knowledge, and furthermore, it is signed.

Just because it is written under an alias or "screen name" doesn't mean they can't point the finger at you. If enough people know you by your screen name... it's as good as your birth name.

I would think twice before posting anything that's illegal...

Personally i think the guy is a tosser making empty threats against car enthusiasts.his arrogance is really quite unbeleivable. i wanted to be a copper in the UK until i came here and changed my mind. never met such a self important bunch of twats ever. i love it when they moan about their jobs too, if they get messed up doing it then maybe they shouldnt be doing it in the first place.

kermit. who is not 17 years old.

Words spoken are not as binding as words on "paper"... but if you are willing to give your proposal a try, I'd be very interested in the outcome.

personally i think that cops put a little too much effort into catching hoons etc, fund raising by using speed cameras and the like.

It just seems that they cant do this AND be able to lookout for the poor people who are bashed at train stations, raped, killed, shot etc around the place ?

I think you're forgetting that within the police force there are various divisions that are assigned to do different tasks ie. traffic, major incident etc.

We only hear of the guys "doing over" hoons because I'm sure most of us don't come into contact with the other police departments. So one group is doing their job, another group doing theirs etc. It just so happens that one group's work affects us, and another's does not. Therefore I think the general consensus amongst hoons that the cops are spending all their time targetting them is quite unfound.

I also think that on the whole the cops do a fine job as it is. Yes there are those that are arrogant and a bit pig headed, but perhaps you have to be when there are so many back-chatting little pricks out there.

I remeber years ago when i used to get speeding tickets..  They were always done by Mr Fisher!

He's acutaly on the police website - nice to put a face to a name

haha

Ah yes, the famous Mr Fisher, he looks like he certainly eats the pork sword. Brendan, when did you change your name to Chad Fletcher??? :)

True that...

but even still, surely their time could be well spent elsewhere ?

Oh well, i guess they have to do what they have to do.

yeah you are probably right. But nothing proves that it is you that wrote the post or not. No-one is identified on here as name/lastname, and who is to say that someone else didnt post this with my already signed-on logon.

That's what passwords are for... as a user of the system I would think that the law would assume that you have a "duty" to ensure that all submissions are from you if it is from an account.

Furthermore, even though there is no first/last name - they'll have a way. I'm sure hackers don't put their real names down. But again, it is their bragging that gets them in trouble.

I'm no expert on the IT laws, but what I'm saying is based on some knowledge, some common sense and some input from the media.

its either they are or they arent.

no need to try it. I live in the western suburbs of Melb.

It probably happens once every hour

So does this mean that the sau users posting heavily in the 'postwhore' threads could actually make money out of it by becoming a police officer and postwhoring from behind a police computer whilst eating krispy kreme donuts?

Cops make me puke!

The 'n00b' thing under "Holland"s username is due to his post count, same as the new RB20DE thing here.

If he is legit, why would he introduce himself as 'Officer' Holland if his rank is Senior Sergeant?

Why is this the first and apparently only post made by an alleged member of the Police? Government/Public Servants are not allowed to represent themselves without permission. You have Public Relations officers and so on. I don't know, I just find it hard to believe that this is legit.

Three cheers for SAU and the fact that most guys here can spell and put together a proper sentence (sory RICE nufin ment buy it)

Can I go to www.carthievesaustralia.com and find out when my suburb is about to be targetted? :P

Call the number he posted, speak to him & ask if it was really him!!! Someone mong could have been caught for speeding/defected etc by a Officer Holland, and just wants to piss him off by doing this.

i think alot of ppl need to bite the bullet when they get done, fair enuf you fang it around and get cought then you deserve to get done, be it your own stupidity that you wernt lookin out for police or just bad luck that they were in someones driveway on the corner you opened it up, cops have it pritty tough, i been to a few partys in high wycombe were the riot squad shows up and in my own opinion i think the cops are to limited as what they can do... there are soo many little 16 17 18 yrolds out there that have no respect for anything, pickin up bricks bottles anything, chuckin it at the cops, and all there alowed to do is stand there with a sheild and a batten, its crap, these little crack heads runnin bein knobs showin off thinkin its cool, the cops should be able to open fire with rubber bullets, let the k9 dogs go,

i just think its pathetic that some people bag cops out so much, but yet if there cars get stolen or house gets trashed then go running to them like little girls... everyone will need the police one day, and alot of them are polite and show respect so why not do the same, sure you get ya bad ones but take it with a grain of salt

I'm with schmiddy.

Imagine being a cop, standing on the riot line in all your gear, having drunk knobs throwing all sorts of crap at you, and your bosses are telling you to just hold the line? Most police are good blokes, they are trying to help and the job pays the bills - when riot police turn up they are making sure things don't get out of control and the general public isn't at risk.

I'd love to see how tough those bottle throwing morons are if the senior officer decided to unleash twenty baton weilding police all wearing helmets, shields and flak jackets... there are a LOT of countries out there where throwing crap at the police would NOT be tolerated and they'd probably Rodney King your ass

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
