I'm as sure as I can be of the day, I was a little shaken as it's honestly the first bad experience I've had being pulled over, but I pulled over soon after to remember as best I could and document the event. I would be far more specific in court, but i figured readers on here don't need to hear my detailed, obviously one sided arguments.

If there was ever a time to record a conversation, that was it.

I know that there would be very few police that would abuse their powers, intentionally anyways, but rb25 what would you do if you felt you were unfairly punished on the road? Or is there little to no tolerance for police off duty?

If it was alleged that I did something to which I know 100% I didn't do. Then I'd be fighting it. You can request to see the ICV (in car video); not immediately, but the next day or some days later back at the station. This saves you going to court. This of course only helps if the offence is caught on camera, which is not always the case.

Before I joined the cops I always thought it would be futile fighting fines in court as the judge would always believe the police. The best way to get a grasp of all of this is to go to court one day and just sit in and watch the cases. Opened my eyes a lot... it's a local court so anyone can just go in and sit there.

So how much do they pay you to trawl this forum?:whistling:

To be fair ^ ^ ^, I believe John is quite constructive.

He isn't the only copper on SAU. There are a few who are open about it.

And so long as they have a "We..." attitude, rather than a "Them Vs Us" attitude, it's good to converse with together.

BTW, this attitude ^ ^ ^ goes for us too.

Terry, i was not serious about my question. I was joking, it's called humor.:thumbsup:

This statement just shows how little you actually know about the system.

I'd say that it was a comment made by someone who hasn't NEEDED a lawyer to represent them in court. The value of lawyers is only going to be known to people who have required legal representation.

good information in this topic i would just like to add my 2cents. i have found if you treat a cop like a persion and not a 4 letter word for male genatela. then he/she will treat you in the same lite give and take if you will. wont always be the case but hey better to be the biger man and stay calm cool and collected.

      Gran Turismo 7 Time trial

      By Rezz · Posted

      Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.

      I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!

      I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium

      It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
