knew this would be a waste of time trying to find out some USEFUL info. ok this is what happened belive me or not, 3 cop cars came up fast beside me and stopped me, cop got out of his car and said "where all your other ######## mates"? and i just said i have no idea what your on about thats when the smart remarks started coming out of his mouth thinking i was lying and tellin a bunch of horse like youse all think im doing... they even wiped down my mud guards and my tired to find ohhhhh no rubber... im just saying they dont have the right to be harrasing me like they were and callin me a no good young hoon who thinks hes unstoppable when all i was doing was driving down the street? obviously they had their suspitions but i just think theyre a little harsh with young drivers thats all and yes i know noones perfect and 99% of young drivers deserve everything they get blah blah but yeh just aske a simple question as to wether theyre allowed to come at me like that when i didnt say anything or do anything?
im not gonna say ive never done a burnout before everyone on here has and if i did do one and got caught yeh thats my own stupid fault i wouldnt have a problem. its just the fact that the bloke i was dealing with tonight was just basically harrasing me for something i didnt do all up in my face standing over me sayin to me aww i know you did it just admit it, yes fair enough if they said we have a report of a black commodore ute with this rego plate doing burnouts down the road (did not do one burnout that night), but he said to me "weve had reports of young kids doing burouts not far from here and i can almost guarantee you were a part of it like your d**khead mates" it just got me so angry that he was accusing me of all this stuff telling me im no good and dont deserve a license and just kept repetitively telling me all this c**p that got me so worked up and he was threatening me for being a "smartass" when all i said was prove it was me?
but yes sorry to everyone i am just kinda venting i guess ha but point is just cause poilce have the power to do what they want doesnt mean they be able to treat you like a piece of crap just cause i drive a commodore with a p-plate on it they just comde down on you like a tonne of bricks
Police have the power to enforce the law. That is their responsibility. The reality is that the officers are still humans, they still have opinions and feelings and exercise the law according to their discretion.
Now I'm not saying your completely wrong, I have seen a couple of nasty cops and I have argued with a cop before when I knew I was right, I cornered him so he realised that he was actually wrong, so he backed off (you can't go barging in and take out their ego, you have to be respectful and polite, because you have to appeal to their reason rather than to shut them down, if you do it so they feel humiliated, they will give you a ticket out of spite). I have been pulled over twice in 4 years in my VS. I don't drive like a ########, I drive sensibly and in a way that won't attract attention...
Do you fit into the stereotype of commodore P platers, sacked suspension, windows down, music blaring, raging anger charged attitude, etc etc etc...if you do, then that's a good reason why you got picked on...
Even though I wasn't there, I highly doubt that you were completely victimised in this case.
My opinion.
