...yeah but he is 100% right..............

and cops wonder why the level of respect shown to them is diminishing.
I reckon they should get back to what they aught to be doing
"KEEPING THE PEACE"

People wonder why I have an aversion to travelling to Queensland.
When this sort of unreasonable harassment (re: "a representative from the Motorama Holden car dealership brought along a brand new vehicle from the lot to display it, and was held up for 30 minutes while officers went over it with a fine tooth comb in an effort to find something wrong with it. When he protested, he was told that they would keep going until they found something") occurs and there is no recourse, why bother?

We have it so good here in Vic. There are lots of motoring enthusiast groups. There is usually some sort of event/display each weekend. There was a Holden display last Saturday. They want me to join with my VR Commodore. I'll be able to put it on club plates in six years.

Yep, turning back public relations (decades) for the worst...

Taking that letter at face value - nice one

Matt.

I am sending this to everyone on my e-mail address book and requesting they forward it on to everybody on theirs. Can all Aulrovians reading this do the same.

I am heartily sick of police and transport officer harassment just because I like to own and drive cars that are different to the norm.

Of note is the premise of 'looking for something until (they find it)'.

There is no provision to be stopped for the purpose of searching for defects. Heavy vehicles are stopped for mass loading and log book inspection, but light motor vehicles are not covered by those laws.

The process is supposed to be observing a defect, or apparent defect, relating to the safe operation of a motor vehicle and stopping, inspecting, and if necessary referring the MV to an inspection station by way of defect notice for inspection/repair. It's supposed to Safety related, not dick-pulling related.

This fishing expedition is utter crap and sadly too common.

Matt.

thats why I drive fozzy, sorry officer, you cant yellow ticket this vehicle for that, its not required to comply to the ADRs that you're trying to apply.

and my favorite with big red was a 30 minute argument about it being lifted or not that wound up with the site super being bought over (at my insistance) to finally accept that if the roof is at the height stated in the book and on the sunvisor then its most likely not lifted and not illegal.

Done. Sent to everyone on my three e-mail lists requesting them to on-forward to all on theirs.
