So TMU left a calling card...

[vyets]

thats coz the government doesn't care about car enthusiasts

we are a minority

"give the hoons a place to go" = encouraging hooning in their eyes

Pretty much spot on man, they don't give a fk and even if there was a burnout pad and it was free they will still hoon and it's these idiots that get the rest of us targeted.

ORLY!? Too bad it's not in Vic..

there use to be a place where people could "hoon" legally

it was called DragTag and i think they even had a burnout pad people could use for very cheap

but what happened is cops started to camp outside DragTag and defect everyone, so the place lost business and shut down

it just shows that this isn't about making the roads safe, its all about the revenue

I've heard about dragtag before but fk you serious? now that's just fkt, it's like when cops camp outside winton! That shit is just unfair man, people are trying to do the right thing.

hmm we have a speed camera on our street this week (<3 herald sun naming the positions every week) do they record number from which the phone calls made? i have his rego etc im tempted to ring in and say he just sped down my street and is now sitting on the nature strip talking on his phone

^do it.

and great find on that article Vyet.

It's funny how the majority of cars picked up by cops for impound are commodores and generally old rust buckets and also p plater's parents cars. whats the bet we see an impound lot full of built jap cars? unlikely.

problem is there is a HUGE group of young people who like the HOON tag and like to rebel. I'm all for these idiots to get their cars taken, but people trying to work within the law to do the right thing and get dicked in the process.....not cool.

in regards to the topic of this thread - I think going to the US to live would be perfect for you Ox, couldn't see a better future for you anywhere but there, you'll love it. go for it dude fuck melbourne. I''ll be gone from here in the next few months anyway.

[shinny]

its small number of knobs that rebel n do illegal stuff on the streets that gives the modifying scene a bad rep that n the cops just want to make money.. all bout the money. bloody revenue making!

[DRVSLW]

best piece of advice I can give is to try n get pulled over on the eastern freeway in peak hour. when the TMU car signals to pull over, head left towards the bus lane. once you're there, headcheck and perfectly co-ordinate for the bus to collide with the cop car in the far left bus lane.

so far - 100% success rate.

If you can't beat em - TROLL EM.

I'm down for organizing a rally against this shit. The laws are screwed in Australia. I've been pulled over more times that most of you have had hot dinners. I was pulled over twice by 2 different police cars with 250m once...and defected for no water in my washer bottle...WTF. The first cop loved my car and he said it was nice and low! the next cop was a fagget. this was 2am btw and I was doing 60 in a 60...

I was driving through and intersection yesterday and the lights were out. There were police directing traffic and one officer spots me, points and yells out "Raise your car you bloody idiot" seriously...I wasn't speeding or riding up some guys arse just cruising along low and slow. Its crap.

I'm thinking a Friday night (nice and busy!) I would like to make it invite only as we don't want tool bag dickheads there. I'll message some people because I know this shit is just getting ridiculous!

My mate Matt told me that he was driving around in the UK his golf. He got stuck on a speed bump...a cop was driving past and he asked for help and they just called him an idiot for having such a low car and told him to fix it himself! Wish cops did that here!

living in rural vic ftw. ive been at my current stance for about a month now, and everytime i see a cop car they dont even look at me twice. lol

im also considering doing what oxer is doing, move to the US ( just somewhere where it doesnt snow at all) in a few years when i finish my apprenticeship.

i also know of a guy around my area, cant remember if he doesnt have his licence or his car is unregistered but with plates on it, but he continues driving and whenever he gets caught he just goes to caught, pays the fine and keeps driving. lol

I would have to agree with the rueal vic ftw because most of the cops dont care unless you do a skid right infront of them.

I actually think this problem will never be resolved sigh..... As population rises massively in Victoria each year, the roadtoll therefor also rises, But every one see's the road death toll numbers and doesn't think about %'s etc, therefor people must see some sort of 'action' by the police to 'solve' the problem to make the government look good to the general public. 'Hoon' laws are their magic word to save the general public from us crazy killers out there. The cops then take advantage of these very shit laws to take down anyone in a modified car. Modified car = Hoon, to the police, the general public, due mostly to the media.....

Having a mass blockade of the street would def attract idiots and it would no doubt turn nasty pretty quickly and would almost guaranteed make us car enthusiasts look even worse... Among the many law abiding car people out there, the media will always focus on the most confronting story, which is the 'killer hoon' story, therefor the good guys of the scene get no voice and therefor no notice from anyone.....

Sooooo so shit no matter how you look at it.....

[brybry]

Don't care for this discussion as it's a lost cause and just makes me angry, unless we're trolling - I'm down for that.

I'm just here for the lols of the oxer problem gif - epic!

Every single time I've needed help from VicPol besides car related stuff... they've NEVER EVER pulled through at all.[/QUOTE]

+1. i know ill get flamed for this, but cops are useless. Like you vyet, the few times the people around me needed the five oh, they have been fucking useless. They just take a phone report of the incident and thats it. they didnt even come to the area and sus out what exactly happened. useless.

It's idiots like these which is why it's a endless battle.

Don't worry guys you don't have to have slammed car to get pulled over. I got pulled over in kilsyth south because of the jdmst sticker i had on my car. Legit the copper said because of the stickers i would most likely be hooning and looked in my wheel wells for rubber and check edover my car. I mean come on seriously.
