Who copped yellow stickers from rising sunday ?

[adrenalin]

Just wondering how many from here have copped a yellow sticker.

keen to know how many cars were yellowed from today and if you got it for something bullshit.

[Risk10k]

Didn't even see one police car. Undercover or otherwise.

[ForgedV6]

What happened this morning mate?

Fair few Police in Joondalup last night. It was early to, about 6-7pm when i was getting dinner with the Mrs. Thought the Datsun might have copped a yellow lol

[Fukushima]

I got pulled over on the way in by a male and female copper in the territory. They were pretty friendly and when I asked if local residents had complained they said not to worry they'd get over it.

He checked my tyres and my license and then told me I shouldn't have them but he wasn't going to give me a work order just for bonnet pins and dildo knob and to enjoy the show. I assume he is reading this so hi to you...

As we went to leave there were all sorts of rumours that more cops had arrived to block the road and were handing out stickers left right and center but I didn't see any.

[jesstamic]

Got stickered... tyres and exhaust noise. Both which shouldnt have got done. Just got unlucky

[INSINR8R]

Good to see our police force doing a stellar job as per usual.

Murderers and rapists need not worry, modified cars, public enemy number 1.

[Miggy]

I rolled through no problems it's sitting very high atm so that would of helped and the dull styling of Toyota always saves my ass. But the R32 on its hole behind me wasn't so lucky and got flagged in. It was the NA 25 R32.

[mitchy]

yes, because that is the primary role for a traffic cop...

[INSINR8R]

Oh I know what the primary role of a traffic cop is, but I'm pretty sure they would have been locals.

Shannon being pulled over in a Territory? Not TEG's.

[Halle Terry]

GOAAAAAL!

Well I actually got done on my way there, not actually there. Pity they gave me such a short time as I wanted to bring the car along.

[Fozzy]

TEG have a couple of territorys so could have been them

[INSINR8R]

Put it this way, you all look after your cars, make sure they're running well, things aren't broken etc.

So when you spend all this time and money making your car as good as can be, doesn't it piss you off when your car is on the radar of police than some old bomb with smoke pissing out the exhaust and bald tyres because the pingpingpingping driving it is too cheap to give a shit about it?

Last night, I stopped at a BP to fill up the SSV and grab some stuff before heading to work. The thing is dead stock, stock exhaust, stock height and wheels. There were GD cops there filling up also. They scoped my car out as another shitbox left the servo, sounded like the thing was about to explode. Didn't phase these two fine gentlemen of the law, more interested in a stock SSV than a potential death trap driving off. /CSB

That is what is wrong. How many people were targeted after Powercruise or Motorvation? Car shows where the cops are hanging around waiting to hand out those yellow stickers.

It's pointless modifying a car now. No matter what you do, what you say, your car is more of a "potential hazard" than something that is about to fall apart.

[thequiet1]

well said

[Charger]

I saw the Police on the entry in the Territory handing somebody in a 180 a sticker (I think)

On the way out I saw the Territory and a few other Police cars pulled over in a carpark with a few other imports handing out more stickers.

Congratulations WAPOL, you rock.

[mehow2g]

Road blocks ay? communist.

[ryanr32]

Time for us to set up some roadblocks this shit has to stop.

That was most likely me.

Driving around a car such as mine, I do realise the risk of getting a yellow, and had excpected it sooner or later. BUT the way that they were just dishing them out, and prowling on us as we rolled in was un called for...any cops reading this FUCK YOU!

[fourseven]

What color were the Territory's?

[Turbo2.6L]

Going against the grain here, but...
Any modification is deemed illegal unless permitted/engineered, so if you drive around in anything that isn't stock, expect a sticker sooner or later. Simple.
If your car's that much of a shitter or is that hard to put to a 'roadworthy' state, maybe it shouldn't actually be on the road.

I agree that targeting a show/event such as today/Powercruise/Motorvation/Summernats is ridiculous, but stickers are fairly straight forward to get off in most instances. Just deal with it & move on to the next!

[j3rk]

Yep, blair from cypher copped a sticker.

Cruised past the bridge cops that had pulled someone over, got the dirtest looks haha.

[adrenalin]

i have permits for most things.

Prob is it costs money and time. And for doing nothing wrong .... bit different if it justified my car being searched.

Also done by the territory couple. Bloke and female

Not easy or cheap when you start going serious with your car and that's most of antilag.

[Turbo2.6L]

It's a pingpingpingping of a situation, but anyone that doesn't expect it at one point or another is naive.
Maybe you're too used to driving the turbo falcon ute?? Haha

Miggy, never said they were easy or cheap to remove & i myself don't drive around in a stock car. Just saying that when it happens, we need to cop it on the chin rather than bad mouthing coppers on the interwebs.

[mr_mike]

The problem i have with the yellow sticker/work notice system is it is not being used for what it was intended for.
The whole reason for yellow stickers is to remove unsafe and illegally modified vehicles from the road and for the most part that is what they are used for.
But todays events showed us that the police shot callers are using the system as a deterant to try stop gatherings of motoring enthusiasts. And it works, this probably isnt the only thread goin about the car forums at the moment complaining about cops road blocking a cruise/event, now next time a similar event is on people will be thinkin "hmm what if cops block it again, might give it a miss instead"

[viet_boi]

Cops were onto Rising Sunday, when we got there police were at the entrance so we U-turned and parked the cars around the block, waited for them to leave then we entered Rising Sunday, then when we left they were blocking off the exits so we took the back roads out, saw them full sussing out the Blue Supra...

[Endless]

Yeah that's pretty much it Mike, by the time i looked today and saw a few replies that cops were there checking over cars i decided not to go due to the hassle if i did get given a work order. Basically like walking into a trap..

[DISTRBD]

GOAAAAAL!

Well I actually got done on my way there, not actually there. Pity they gave me such a short time as I wanted to bring the car along.


What was so bad to justify the short time ?

[Turbo2.6L]

I'm sure that is the idea the government would like everyone to believe Mr Mike, but in reality we all know that these yellow licky frenzies are just another revenue raising operation.
Stickering an old bucket of shit will more than likely mean it will be left off the road as repairs vs purchase of new shitter wouldn't be worth the cost/effort. This would mean 1 less rego, no inspection fees, no re-inspection fees etc etc. They would effectively be screwing themselves out of money whereas they know a decent 'hoon' car will have cash thrown at it to be put back on the road.

[Buckets]

It sucks arse but I think the days of driving a modified daily / road car are pretty much over. Yes you can get permits ect but you'll still cop a sticker for something anyways so it's back off to the pits to waste some more time and money. By all means mod the shit out of your car but trailer it or RWA (B-rego) plates are pretty much going to be the only option. Yes the restrictions this puts on people suck but if your sick of getting targeted by the PoPo it's the way to go.

[Satan]

this means they've won??!!

jesus, thats a terrible state of affairs!!

[Susstt]

Not easy or cheap when you start going serious with your car and that's most of antilag.

If you go 'serious' with a street car, yet dont expect to get a sticker when driving on the street, then you sir are an idiot.

[RRob]

Got pulled over and hit up about rear tyres rubbing guards(due to fat pingpingpingpings in the back), Pulled the 100 or so pages of permit paperwork out and he let it slide..

Was 2 dudes in a camry? I think.

[Fukushima]

I don't think it is that bad. Im240 is dead so all but the most heavily modified vehicles can be engineered and pass.

If you want to daily drive a modified car you just need to compromise with ride height and keeping things subtle - that kept me out of trouble today.

[Lonewolf]

there is also the point of doing mods that will make your car an easy target.

"fitment" of rims, straight pipe exhausts and dumped to the weeds is obviously going to increase you chances of attention.

Obviously if you get a wanker cop its not going to matter anyway, but may help you fly under the radar.

[DrKarl]

On my way in i saw 2 black 180's dumped with crazy offsets heading straight for the police. i high beamed to warn you, hope you guys got through alright.

[Halle Terry]

What was so bad to justify the short time ?

Tyres rubbing the guards on full lock haha.

I had 5 cops around my car, 4 of them didn't really care - one did. I've always been polite, respectful and sincere to police. I figured today just wasn't my day.

[Buckets]

Yeh you have a point keep it clean and simple but looking at a few of the showcase threads here people don't seem to like to keep it stealthy. The whole stupidly low, epic tyre stretch and insane camber thing is all the rage it seems. Not knocking it as it does look awesome but that kind of stuff is designed to get the car noticed and well the Police notice it.

[scottiedoesntn0]

I think was an actualy dog of an act by wapol.

My mate and i got done done near the fucking casino.
His car, fair enough, is a bit of a pig, but has had $$$ spent on suspension tyres etc and i'd say is more roadworthy than alot of the shiters i see kicking around welshpool during working hours..etc
I got away with a warning for loose battery, yeah rookie error, giving them anything to start with.

but just before driving off the cop i was dealing with goes "We got a fair few of your mates from that event in ascot", like it was a targeted event!

wtf you pingpingpingpings! Fucking die you scum, catogorise us as criminals, yet crack the shit when we call you all useless, because you are!

[shifted]

Terry, how many have you copped since you have owned the JZX100? 3-4 now?

Seems pathetic what some of the Police are doing, its understandable where it is necessary but I have rarely seen a shitbox that shouldn't be on the road pulled over and yellowed compared to a upkept, modified and tasteful vehicle.

[Risk10k]

Only a select few have gotten overly into the stance rubbish really, to point of taking it to www.stancenation.com level. Performance Forums is a great example of pingpingpingpings who want go and little show.

Hell look at TJs liberty, looks stock - rocks a 61 around wanners short track. Gavs RB28 GTR, definately not one for stupid attention seeking there.


Its just a trend that will pass :/

[evoeata]

wtf you pingpingpingpings! Fucking die you scum, catogorise us as criminals, yet crack the shit when we call you all useless, because you are!

lol. far from useless. they did they job and obviously did it well.

[Halle Terry]

I've owned the car for 4 years, copped all 3 of mine in the last 12 months, which have lasted a total of 5 months with a sticker on the vehicle.

Mind you it's in the last 12 months the car went from being; practical ride height, comfortable and quiet to - loud, impractically low, harsh ride quality and having a delicious Ti exhaust.

I bring it all on myself really, I don't really have any major vice with getting stickers - as it forces me to fix and change all the niggly little issues I can't be fucked doing.

I don't feel like my car is any danger to anyone around me, quite the contrary I drive quite carefully and sedately to ensure the car doesn't get damaged - but being told my car is a 'potential deathtrap' is a bit ludicrous.

[Miggy]

If you go 'serious' with a street car, yet dont expect to get a sticker when driving on the street, then you sir are an idiot.


Everyone knows the risks but to target an event where no one was doing anything wrong was low as fuck where are the police blocking off entrances to shopping centers on Thursday nights? Defecting cars burning oil/dripping oil and with fucked up suspension? Many cars there rarely get driven on the street and just come out to car events and as I found out to try and get a tow truck to go to something like motorvation/powercruise is a HUGE mission with most being booked out months in advance. So then you need to try and sort out a car and car tailor.

Or drive a Toyota sedan I rarely get looked at :D

[Fukushima]

Actually Terry I think getting yellow stickers is your vice.

[Crispymk2]

Advertising on FaceBook was bound to draw extra police presence.

[n1ghth4wk]

Just saw it on the news. 'These cars have no business being on the road". What the fuck?

[1cut808]

Just recorded the "Surprise Sting" on Nine...

Skip forward to the 55second mark as I couldn't be arsed editing the footage...

[colt75]

the territory colours were like a dark greyish/brownish?

they didnt really block it off, but just set up a 'inspection site' in the carpark next to the exit.
and waving cars that probably looked or sounded 'unroadworthy'

but there was a backway through another carpark that got you through out to the main road which most people were taking towarsd the end

[1JZVL]

I did not, and consider myself quite lucky considering my lip was so close to the ground "like race car" and front end all shit......lucky this time round!

It was hit and miss imo, just had to take the risk when you leave :(

[c.rusli]

damn i missed that!
video would be great ;)

[Tocchi]

I did not, and consider myself quite lucky considering my lip was so close to the ground "like race car and front end all shit......lucky this time round!

haha no shit :p was low... but looked good :)

[joelt]

Managed to scope out a way around the cops for a few mates who attended, driving the getz down actually worked in their favor today! Dare say they would be joining the yellow sticker crew if they had have driven past the inspection site.

[///M]

Feel sorry for all the people who copped a yellow today, I snuck out around 2.

Never seen so many s13 shitters in one place

[MrSparkle]

Thanks to the chick in the 32 for letting us know about the police when leaving the venue she saved a whole lot of heart ache.

[1JZVL]

haha no shit :p was low... but looked good :)

Thanks, she's up higher now though and clears all objects :D (which is more of a priority for me as it's driven 7 days a week).

I'm surprised though, if they can figure out that this "little" get together is a gathering for "DANGEROUS VEHICLES", why aren't they able to target other illegal, dangerous activity as effectively? What is happening?

:confused: :confused:

[Fukushima]

I'm surprised though, if they can figure out that this "little" get together is a gathering for "DANGEROUS VEHICLES",

As another perspective this is probably what they are thinking about when lots of modified cars get together in one place

That night was EPIC :)

Will never ever forget that night. Will be a story told to my children and my childrens children

As for today, it was having 2 kids and only 2 seats in a car that kept me away. Shame I missed it. Bigger shame that the cops had to rain on the parade.

To "block" exits is just low. Surley there is some "law" (lol) against doing that with no just cause?

If there was a riot, fair enough. Even that night at Hillarys I can understand why they did as it could have got ugly. But from what I'm hearing today, no one did ANYTHING wrong. And they STILL "road block" the exits?

If that's what happened, then that's a sorry state of affairs.

I look forward to the Channel 9 clip.

I'm interested to see "Cops spend too much time on Facebook" get re-written as "Police plan suprise STING"

Case in point though....I dont know if any of you went to Perth Street Scene's show and shine a few years back. There was no trouble at all and ZERO cop attention. IT CAN BE DONE!

Well I actually got done on my way there, not actually there. Pity they gave me such a short time as I wanted to bring the car along.


Were you at swan brewery?

20.....

Bullshit I bet it's was alot more then that.

[UK-Rushy]

My mate got yellowed in his 32, it was the maroon one on the news report, he turned right into them and I was lucky to avoid them, anyway they got him for handbrake not being tight enough and also body height clearance, my mate asked him to measure it as the lowest part of his car is over 100mm and thy refused, said they could tell by looking!

he got stickered by a plain clothed officer with a tactical (If that's what you call it) belt on who we later saw up at mcdonalds in a purple fg falcon... Clearly not traffic cops, surely they have better things to do?

that supra have the number plates SUPR4?

[Yakky Bear]

putting it simply... top event, but i think it was a retarded idea to inform the police as they saw it as an easy chance to sticker cars. Even know it was the right thing to do, it was a dumb thing to do.

Naw dog, it had the plates 5UPRA

[lambchops]

when i rocked up the dark purple/brownish terriotorry had a black 180sx [DRFT] pulled over and gave him a yellow. the territory had a 'baby on board' thing and some 'my family' stickers on the back window. very sneaky.

when we left just before 2 i ran down to see the cops at the end of the bridge, waiting for a minute then all 4 walked to their cars and drove off. i then ran back up and it was like f&f, everyone bailing to avoid a yellow

[fourseven]

100% traffic cops.

[dmwill]

Looking at the news report, I love how they rub salt into wound when pulling the cars over by making them drive up the big curb.

Must be a test - if the car scrapes or he takes it too slow - instant sticker.

[Kickit]

Naw dog, it had the plates 5UPRA

nah its SUPR4 i know the guy that owns it haha.

i got a yellow for wheels sticking to far out and a "damaged front end" haha

Police weren't informed officially by any Rising Sunday Staff.
We believe it was local residents whinging, who rang their local council who then called the police.

That's what happens when you organize a meet at 10am on a Sunday, which requires 100+ cars to drive right past houses in the middle of suburbia.

I don't really know what everyone expected. The chances of cops not being there was 0. Even if my 33 wasn't in pieces, I'd still never take it there.

That channel 9 report was hilarious. Report about a bunch of shit stock cars involved in fatal accidents, then a report on a crackdown on modified high performance cars. Go figure!

Didn't manage to get down there, don't think my Pug 207 is classified as "performance" :D By the sounds of it was a good turn out, was really sad to hear about Jason and Chris's encounters with roo's and others.

What irks me is that the WA Police seem to use these events as another PR stunt so as they can make it look like they are being pro-active in cracking down on dangerous drivers. Would be better if they were actually targeting dangerous drivers and not a civilised, organized event.

[Jumanji]

I have a friend of mine who has been a cop for about 3 years now, he tells me even normal cops hate traffic cops, and that you have to have something wrong with you to be one. I almost got stickered in his car by a traffic cop after showing he also is a police officer..

He drives a relatively low 300c on 22's, nicely modified an subtle nothing too "out there"...

I agree, i mean i know that we have low cars and i know that itwe have cars that are loud ect... but i mean some of us have spent thousands on new suspension, new brakes, new gearboxes, new diffs, new engines ect, ect,ect...

I know i have, I cant remember who posted it, but they should go and annoy the thousands of un-roadworthy cars at the Galleria on a thursday night. Wishfull thinking but....

[Mad_Aussie]

IMO letter to the CCC is required.

[V70R]

Put it this way, you all look after your cars, make sure they're running well, things aren't broken etc.

So when you spend all this time and money making your car as good as can be, doesn't it piss you off when your car is on the radar of police than some old bomb with smoke pissing out the exhaust and bald tyres because the pingpingpingping driving it is too cheap to give a shit about it?

Last night, I stopped at a BP to fill up the SSV and grab some stuff before heading to work. The thing is dead stock, stock exhaust, stock height and wheels. There were GD cops there filling up also. They scoped my car out as another shitbox left the servo, sounded like the thing was about to explode. Didn't phase these two fine gentlemen of the law, more interested in a stock SSV than a potential death trap driving off. /CSB

That is what is wrong. How many people were targeted after Powercruise or Motorvation? Car shows where the cops are hanging around waiting to hand out those yellow stickers.

Agreed 100%
Stupid idea from the very start.

[Tones]

idea was good. Execution poor. Having a meeting for all jdm type cars is great. Turnout was great from what I hear. Just the time, place, advertising ect could have been done differently.

[1cut808]

The venue was good... Just needs another way to get in without driving past all the houses... (apparently there was a sneaky back door?) Plenty of room and had the right facilities for that amount of people and cars.. Also the ground was firm with very little hang ups for lowered cars and nice fesh tarmac to drive on...

Over all I think it was a good set up, but there was just way too much traffic trolling through that narrow corridor of houses...

[Joe]

Although some people who copped stickers really didn't deserve it, plenty of cars that got defected were asking for it by clearly looking illegal.. if you want to play, you gotta pay!

When we left the event, I drove straight past the TEG cops in the unmarked Ford Territory, which was sitting in a small car park just outside the event. They watched me roll past (with not a car behind me, I was a sitting duck.. they could have very easily pulled me over or waved me into the car park), and they chose not to do anything..

My theory is:

1. I wasn't speeding or driving erratically
2. My car wasn't excessively loud (I did roll past in 5th gear)
3. My car isn't excessively low
4. My car doesn't have excessive offset wheels
5. My car is neat, no bumpers being held on with cable ties, etc.

Although some of my mechanical mods might have been sticker worthy (exhaust, intake, or whatever else thats non-standard), the car obviously didn't look like a sticker magnet.. and as a result, I got out of the event and away without any dramas.

[V70R]

^^
Driving past the TEG cops without getting stickered like a boss !

[Tocchi]

^ that's true Joe, hit the nail on the head, clean and neat is the key.
i took back roads so i didnt see any police, but on entering they didnt touch me.
and i drive to Morley Rec (for bball) every week, always coming across police cars driving next to me.

in saying that, a few people were unlucky

1. I wasn't speeding or driving erratically
2. My car wasn't excessively loud (I did roll past in 5th gear)
3. My car isn't excessively low
4. My car doesn't have excessive offset wheels
5. My car is neat, no bumpers being held on with cable ties, etc.

Although some of my mechanical mods might have been sticker worthy (exhaust, intake, or whatever else thats non-standard), the car obviously didn't look like a sticker magnet.. and as a result, I got out of the event and away without any dramas.

soo many of the cars there should be crushed and fkd right off,

only people complaining about it being a "sticker fest" were the people with absolute fkn shit heaps who got done. Most of them deserved it IMO.

to the people with tidy cars who got a sticker well then thats bad luck, not targeting.

my cars not exactly legal or compliant in many aspects but the fact its well presented and maintained meant i had zero cop trouble.

[Socrates]

Then one the other hand, someone mentioned that a stock wrx lowered on stock rims was stickered. Nothing illegal but the cops just do what they like anyway. What Joe said is right but also depends on what the cops attitude is at the time.

[Lmx]

Pretty sure Harley bikes are louder than most cars.

[adrenalin]

Agree with what joe said. Still didnt explain a few cars the cops pulled over.

as been said its a risk you take with modified cars.

[esky]

Then one the other hand, someone mentioned that a stock wrx lowered on stock rims was stickered. Nothing illegal but the cops just do what they like anyway.

Bullshit.

There would be at least one stickerable item on the car or it wouldn't have got a sticker.

[Simon]

^ sticker more likely aimed at peanut driver?

[Socrates]

Also plausible, but it's been said time and time again.
People getting stickered for stock BOV's and other legal factory items, it does happen.

I wouldn't have thought that the wrx driver would be driving like a peanut as most of the people knew there were cops there as they would have seen them as they came in.

[Ash-u-lee]

Thanks to the chick in the 32 for letting us know about the police when leaving the venue she saved a whole lot of heart ache.

You're very welcome! What car were you in? I warned many to turn at broadwater, not sure how many listened. That Mx5, I hope they got through unscathed!

[Jimmy]

I rolled through no problems it's sitting very high atm so that would of helped and the dull styling of Toyota always saves my ass. But the R32 on its hole behind me wasn't so lucky and got flagged in. It was the NA 25 R32.

Haha that was me, already been done twice now within 5 weeks of driving the vehicle like this in WA.

4th time for me all up though, the NSW police are the same.

I'll get the car passed and return it to how I like it. :)

Yeh, but apart from the rims your car is stock! It even has a top-mount still.

Seen you rolling round Inglewood, and parked up out the front of a house on one of the avenues. My 90 spends a bit of time around there.

[Jimmy]

Yeah Seventh avenue! I see your car all the time when I'm cruising to Coles haha.

[Yakky Bear]

Police weren't informed officially by any Rising Sunday Staff.
We believe it was local residents whinging, who rang their local council who then called the police.



Dont bullshit.
Maybe you should stick to trying to look cool detailing your shitter all day.






We've all done some talking regarding Police and our presence made known.

[Joe]

Yeh, but apart from the rims your car is stock! It even has a top-mount still.

Har har

[Socrates]

It turns out that there was a miscommunication between Jason and Rowan regarding police notification and in the end the Police were not given any notice or details of this event happening.

[Fukushima]

Although some people who copped stickers really didn't deserve it, plenty of cars that got defected were asking for it by clearly looking illegal.. if you want to play, you gotta pay!

When we left the event, I drove straight past the TEG cops in the unmarked Ford Territory, which was sitting in a small car park just outside the event. They watched me roll past (with not a car behind me, I was a sitting duck.. they could have very easily pulled me over or waved me into the car park), and they chose not to do anything..


Joe, you left early before all the media and marked vehicles rocked up.

The pair in the territory were very reasonable on the way in and I wasn't worried about passing them on the way out, but when I heard other cars had rocked up and set up an inspection station I made an effort to get out via back streets just in case the new cops were less reasonable. (cheers Tocchi)

[Skitzo]

Could of fooled me.

Why post saying the organiser have informed police when they didnt?

Maybe you should have mentioned it in order to stop pingpingpingpings like me flaming you then.

[Simon]

more like they did inform the police but the word did not get thru to the ENTIRE WA POLICE FORCE

[Douche Bag]

In Soc's defense, the territory couple that pulled me over had no idea and asked me what was going on, so I told them it was a car show, nothing more.

[lachlanrb20s13]

the argument that a clean looking car is less at risk to get pulled over is definately true, but just to clear it up, it wasnt really the case yesterday.
i was taking photos on the bridge in the morning when everyone was arriving (and the first batch of cops were there) for about an hour, then in the early afternoon i was there again and noticed the majority of cars being pulled over were actually pretty tidy cars

[evilvl]

HEY PIGS

instead of stickering cars sunday morning why dont you target the people who keep trying to kick in the back doors of my bottleshop?.

I mean, its always the same footprints, its obviously the same guy (or a very clever shoe thief). Is this too hard for you??

how many crimes did you faggots solve on sunday from stickering these cars? absolutely fuck all..

we had armed boongs inside our venue on saturday night that we had to remove ourselves, how about you fucking retards learn to prioritize and do some police work? You're supposed to be stopping these groups and checking for weapons but youre obviously too busy buying sushi and 6 packs of bundy.

fucking dogs

Ill stop calling you pigs when you stop calling us hoons and treating everyone with a nice car like criminals you fucking dog pingpingpingpings

yes mad

Any way of going vigilante?

And yes, you still don't know the difference between TEG and regular police officers. As has already been stated by others, TEG operate independent of the regular WA Police

[evilvl]

yeah but Im not in Perth. Come to my bottleo and mention the password "cops are dog pingpingpingpings" and I'll give you mates rates (serious)

as mentioned before when it comes to armed gangs trying to gain entry to my venue I don't care. If regular police arent qualified to stop these fuckwits coming here then what the fuck are they doing driving around all night? maccas here stops service at 10pm so who knows..?

[Buckets]

There's more resources allocated to the TEG than regular front line Police?

[fourseven]

The TEG don't operate independently? They are just another division.

The point is, if we want resources to be taken from elsewhere (TEG) and put into front line Policing - start making complaints.

[1JZVL]

So somebody else can do dick all?

Bah.

Might as well post here and vent out :(

Complain to who?


Start here: http://www.police.wa.gov.au/Aboutus/Commendationsandcomplaintsagainstpolice/ComplaintsAdministrationCentre/tabid/1294/Default.aspx

The average cost per hour for the TEG in 2009-2010 was $92 which is insignificant compared to other specialist groups within WA Police. This is why they get around the way they do. They obviously make bulk cash for the government, their statistics are very good, and people keep giving them a reason to continue.

[evilvl]

yeah thats the problem fourseven. You do the right thing and lodge a complaint, and all it does is bring you more police attention to your car. (don't believe me? make a formal complaint then see how many more times you get pulled up for random licence/rbt checks).

The only thing I feel I can do anymore is out them publicly every time they do something stupid (really not hard).

If you complain to your local Police station, are you really surprised? If you go to PCAC to make a complaint there is a not a chance in hell of it bringing you more attention.

Your complaint alone won't change shit, but it's still a complaint on record and a +1 for the next audit. People just don't bother making complaints so nothing ever changes.

[evilvl]

yes I am surprised because they are supposed to be objective and uphold the law not hassle people and try and sticker their car and breath test them every friday/saturday night just because they made a genuine complaint againt them

$92 an hour is way more than what I get to smack these fucking coons around and keep them from attacking people in the main street on weekends. I get paid $22 and hour I dont have tasers and glocks and get to park illegally while i get sushi. And all because the cops take 2+ hours to respond to a home invasion and assault on a saturday night meanwhile we find the useless pingpingpingping sitting in the main street while cops drive straight past him on their way to get maccas.

[INSINR8R]

Just out of curiosity to those who saw the cops, what colour where the marked cars? Silver falcons and commodores with orange stripes?

Those are TEG cars, local police have regular white cars with blue decals.

As far as I'm aware, if a complaint was made about the cars, it would have been local police that attended.

I'm just going from what I've been told.

Edit: Never mind, watched the news report, silver falcons, TEG's attended, all good.

[Madhav]

Bullshit.

There would be at least one stickerable item on the car or it wouldn't have got a sticker.

I had an in depth conversation about this to an employee at an inspection station (while I was getting my second sticker off in 1 month) and they said that police don't need a reason to sticker your car. The reason can be, "Subject to full inspection"

We have all heard the stories of stock cars getting stickered.

My favourite is a completely stock VE SS sedan, literally straight off the show room floor, the owner was driving it home from the dealership, even had the the receipt in the car. Cops still stickered the thing saying it was too loud. Obviously the driver tried to explain, showed the receipt etc... made no difference, the sticker went on.

I am wondering what happens if you make a complaint if something like this happens...completely stock car, nothing but police ignorance/being pricks to give you a yellow, knowing the hassle it is to take a car over the pits. I wonder if you could sue/claim your days pay & the pits fee if it was proven you were 100% in the clear. In the case above, imagine taking it straight back to the dealer and telling them you want a refund/ they can sort this shit out...might mean more if the complaint to the police comes from a dealership?

I have never got a yellow, but I did have a cop tell me that my bov was illegal..to which i said what bov? He got a bit narky when I asked him to point it out(I didnt have one) but the other cop called him and I was off.

Here in Qld you just get the local garage/whoever is certified to check you over and they give you the forms to submit to the traffic dept, its a piece of cake...especially if you 'know' the garage owner. They even have mobile guys who just drive around doing the inspections for $100...

Stock cars can get stickered, if theres something wrong with them. battery not secured, brake light out, bald tyres.

Roadworthyness gets you the stick not having mods as such.

Dealers can fit exhuast etc, there's nothing to say what they fitted wasn't too loud, i do know of this happening. Guy (mate) got a ford dealer to fit an after market exhaust, and the car got sticker for the exhaust, he bitched n moaned about it but the car was to loud and it failed the noise test a the pits, so the cops were right.

However the "factory untouched car straight from a dealer getting stickered" story i reckon is an urban myth.

[fourseven]

Just out of curiosity to those who saw the cops, what colour where the marked cars? Silver falcons and commodores with orange stripes?

Any vehicle with a call sign between 201 and 299 is a traffic vehicle. Multanova vehicles are assigned between 230 and 249 while crash investigation are between 250 and 269.

There are still plenty of traffic vehicles that are white.

Correct. In fact a reason isn't necessary either. Unfortunately there is a myth that Police need a reason or 3 to sticker you which is simply untrue. The whole purpose of defect notices is that the Police aren't trained mechanics and this gives them an opportunity to force people to let the experts check it out at an inspection centre.

And of course they abuse this. But it's the government that lets them.

Unfortunately it's not a myth.

[Sfidz]

I Know a member on here with a stock R35 GTR that was issued a sticker for "exhaust being too loud". Not a myth.

time for new quote in my signature I think...

[UK-Rushy]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, the officers who stickered my mates car were in plain clothes (checkered shirt and jeans) with there 'tactical' belts on driving a purple fg falcon with no lights or aerials, which department would these have been from?

[fourseven]

TEG.

[UK-Rushy]

Now I feel like an idiot. Should of read the posts properly, I blame that on a long day at work :)

I apologize!

Have seen this actually happen. Brothers mate got stickered in his VN (stock auto V6) because it 'looked like shit'. The car was dirty (as in dusty, a bit messy inside) but was oil leak free, good tyres... aka everything roadworthy wise was A-OK.

Took the issue further and the copper who placed the sticker on the car had to personally come to his place of residents (mates brothers house) and remove the sticker + cancel the paperwork. Also had to write a formal letter of apology.

[YOUR MATE]

Venting on here will do nothing to get a point across if you feel you were targeted unfairly and singled out for doing nothing wrong. Stop talking and start doing. Take some action for once to let people know you won't just take it anymore.
Although if you organise a protest meet/cruise and half the cars there are on the ground with wheels out the guards, it's sort of pointless as they will just slap stickers on again.

Also does anyone else think it's strange there was a news crew there if local residents had called the cops? Surely the police extended an invite to the media to watch them go ruin some hoons day. Can't help but think that the coppers would of been there regardless of if it was near housing or not.

[RR 32 WA]

I got stopped by these cops in that carpark on the way out... Nice group of cops honestly. Whatever the reason for them being there, they were reasonable people. They checked my license and went over my car. No yellow sticker for me. They were happy with the way everything was setup and all the mods.

[stormtrooper]

The housing just gave them another angle to play with the media.
