......... I wonder if the time and resources could be used to address more serious issues in the community, such as drug dealing, rape, murder, child abuse, homelessness, mental health issues and other life changing events. Hoping off my soapbox now.
Rant over..................
Cheers

Completely agree with this comment. The thing that especially annoys me in this case is that the cars were pulled over in King's Cross on a Saturday night. The police had a number of resources tied up doing this in an area which is rife with exactly what you have described in your comment. By the way I have spoken to the owner of the Escort about it and in his case it was a complete beat up. The cop was an absolute **** especially when the cameras were rolling. The RTA guys were infact very good, engine wise there were no issues, all the polution gear is connected and it passed, it passed noise as well. It wasn't defected for the seat belts either.

im not sure about cops these days but in the early ninety's they had no bloody idea, i use to do the drag scene at campbelltown nsw which everyone use to hung out across from the police station, never drag myself, i just liked hanging out and seeing cool cars, one day i got defected in my A9X Torana for bold rear tyres, mind you ive just bought them brand new two days previously, took it to the place where they take the defects off, and they just laughed and said how dumb the cops are, another time i was at the meeting place just siting there and letting people look at the A9X, had the bonnet open, and a cop came up to have a look under the bonnet and said its that a v8 or a 6, hmm if you dont know the difference between a v8 to a strait 6 then how the hell can they defect a car

This is what sh*ts me about ACA. They distort the truth to make a story more sensational, about embarassing first-world problems. Completely unworthy of air time. This might be a good story to report to media watch!

Theres very few police officers that actualy kno wat they are looking at wen it comes to engines yet they can still hand out defects and fines wen they r clueless as to wat they r actualy fining u for... That is wat annoys me the most...
Its always been the same though if you go to well known cruise spots/meets ur bound to get pulled over if your car looks in anyways illegal...
Wen my escort was in the road i used to get pulled over for a 'random breath test' every time i sor a police car without fail... I had nothing to worry about because it had a basic 1.6l in it... Its still annoying though... was at least twice a month

Most car guys/girls know if their car will get defected if they get pulled. Just cop it and move on. Most of the inspectors Ive had the pleasure of meeting are into their cars or bikes.

Hi all! Well were to start lot of worthy comments! and alot of waisted police resources for sure! i live in W.A. and the cops over here have been renamed the "fun police" although my daily is a 4x4 and i live miles from the city the cops can be right ****ers! not all but the majority,apart from my escort RS projects I also own an awsome Harley,total work of art! ,not involved in any clubs and i get put on the side of the road nearly EVERY time im out and get treated like im an outlaw! WTF! you no wat cops were all the kids that got picked on at school and this is how they get back at society UNKOOL! keep cruzin crew and watch ur mirrors,look out for the one eyed multi scrotom,and remember its crew like us that keep these fine examples of machinery alive so these dogs can attend car shows and preach to there kids how kool daddy used to be before he joined the force!! ;)
dam my rant nearly went as long as the aca clip! :) oops
