Now I see you will no longer have to display your rego sticker . The Law works in mysterious ways ..

Isn't it obvious? Before January 2014, not having a rego sticker was a serious safety issue. Obviously that safety issue no longer exists.

To be fair though Mick, the police are only the enforcers of laws, whether they like the law or not. It's the politicians and bureaucrats that make the laws that you should be directing your post at.

That said, there is probably an appropriate way of enforcing a law that doesn't make you feel like an axe murderer. :angel:

Oh, yes, I realise that. I do not blame the police for that little gem and didn't realise I blamed them.
I have the utmost respect for police until individuals display to me they made a poor career choice.
There are quite a few police on this forum and I would hope they pull me over for a license and registration check soon. Judging by the frequency I get pulled over, that will be real soon.

Mick what do you drive that attracts so much attention? Apart from RBT's and when I have actually been doing some thing wrong, I have not been pulled up for years.

It's the car. A hoon car of choice and a rather distinctive one at that.
VR Commodore. The best car I have had.
Mr Plod pulls me over expecting to give a young lad a lesson. You see them stop in their tracks when they see a grumpy old fart get out. Not what they expected. Quite funny to watch really.
What is not taught, in todays world, stereotypes do not work.

Ask me one day and I'll tell you about a group of women, a convicted rapist and me.

Lou, I think you are correct here, in Vic any way.

There was a case recently where this came up.

Can't say I agree with it though. There has been many a case where it has just been a random check for no reason and they have busted a big drug or fire arms courier/dealer.

I wonder how much of today's violence and general anti-social behavior is because of the change in liquor licensing laws. At the benefit of licensees and tax revenue.

Pubs used to shut at 11:00pm. I remember punch-ups when that was the closing time but not like that which is being seen so regularly today, tying up so much police resource in alcohol fuelled conflict, etc..

Regulatations are always being challanged and changed for commercial benefit over community values. And its seemingly impossible to go back.

In SA we have MDSTs, (mobile driver screening tests) this means anytime without reason you can be stopped for RBT or random drug swipe.

Totally agree with you there.
The only safe time to walk down King Street in Melbourne is when the clubs are closed.
