To the police on here, this isnt directed squarley at you, but, your collegues need to seriously re-evaluate the way they interact with the younger community. What they did in Penrith, Western Sydney last night was over the top. Sweeping through the carparks defecting everything they could, grounding several cars, including my commodore.
Do the members in your force EVER stop to think..gee we could handle this situation better...maybe the younger generation will begin to dislike us...or is common practice to defect first, ask questions later?
All the young kids with cars that I know grow up with nothing but disrespect and hatred for most of the police force since the ones that deal with them treat them like absoloute crap. Ive always tried dealing with it on a case by case basis ( i.e that cop was an asshole, but doesnt mean they all are) but now, why would anyone bother taking that approach ? Its obvious we are all the same hell bent stupid ass P platers out to cause trouble, isnt it...So why would we act any different towards police officers. It goes both ways guys.
A red sticker was slapped on my window and I was told it was my problem now.
You think that attitude gets respect from the 100 odd people looking on?
Mate did this happen to be on a thurs night @ kk carpark panthers? If so then wtf did you expect? Anyone with half a brain cell knows they when u are in the wrong place @ the wrong time u are asking for trouble. Loitering around there with other p platers just screams defect me.
Its not like this is anything new, hell 13 years ago when I was a kid out there it was the same ****. Everyone going down to the boatramp, then 2 maccas with all the heroes doin laps around maccas then off to devlin for the runs. The cops were always out there in force getting everyone 4 everything they can. My now hubby got defected in his mums new laser, I know someone who got done for not having a washer on his towbar.
The point is they are out there to get p platers away from there. Its not so much that their cars are unroadworthy but the p platers congregating in large groups are a nuisance. I think if you hang around places like this that are targeted by police and get defected then its your own stupid fault.
