Thread: My troubles with the law continues

Ironically, Honest Mick has probably been hob knobbing with a highly respected member of the constabulary, this weekend.

No.
Poor bugger. Three cars and a van. The most I've had turn up was a Commodore and a Territory and that was for the bent number plate (which wasn't really bent).
On that occasion I was asked if the trailer was registered more than three times, if the trailer was registered in my name more than twice, if the car was registered more than twice, if the car was registered in my name more than twice and if the trailer and car were registered in my name more than twice. Oh, she asked my address a few times too.
Gee, I'm lucky.
These traffic police are either very thick, or they try to harass you into a reaction. I think it's the latter.

No. I'm home now.
The police I most highly respect are either interstate or in the north of the state.
Mind you, I think the local police are a respectable lot. The blow-ins tend to be the ones with attitude. They don't have to live here you see.

Good to see you are not in a lock up OH and the car trailer has been sorted

Though you can still come up if you wish

So what happened? Did they ping him for any mods to the bike? Watched for 10 minutes, and no outcome...

Bloody waste of Police resources having that many cars and personnel there. You would think 1 car and a couple of Cops could have sorted that - he was very helpful, answered all their questions and wasn't threatening, aggressive or anything. Looks like they were struggling to find anything to get him on.

And really, do they expect anyone to believe they don't know who the Misfit SMC are? They've done their homework, they know who they are - just picking on anyone riding a Harley who's wearing a vest of any description.

Dumb, dumb, dumb...

Misfits are no different to clubs like Ulysses or other "SMC" groups, I happen to know one and he is no outlaw, pretty decent fella, builder by trade, family man etc etc.... he also has been "questioned" many times since the VLAD laws came to being...... It's all getting a bit ridiculous IMO.... the QPS already had all the details of his bike on file including his personal details, photos etc etc.... still haven't been able to book him with anything

As old Benjamin Franklin said:

They who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

In order to save ourselves from the 'reign of terror' of the bikie gangs, we're at the stage where a guy can't go out for a ride on his bike, wearing a leather vest.

Pretty sure you're right. They try to get you to say something a bit inconsistent, and then try to use that as a wedge. Verbal tricks, then if they get an opening, bullying. You just have to listen for it and don't fall into the trap.
