yep. thats exactly why they defect people. because they CHOSE to go to the academy.
not because some idiots drive unengineered and unroadworthy cars.
smart like a bag of hammers some people.

I supose it's only a job, and someones gotta do it. If you had to put with the sh1t that they do, you'd quickly lose tolerance for stupid behavior. But that said some of them decide to defect your car before they even get up to the your window.
I got stopped at a random check point in my RX3 coupe back in '99. The women was frothing at the mouth to give me a fine for something. (the car was pretty dodgey, but it looked real mint- boy'd out to hell too) When she checked all the usual stuff, license, tyres, wof, rego, cert etc I can still recall the expression on her face change to one of utter desolation when she realised she couldn't write me a ticket for anything. one nil to me be-arch!

The police don't really, I guess you could say the RTA police mods. Thats why you get sent for an inspection at a RTA station or 'if your lucky' require a pink slip. This is why cops don't need to know what a turbo looks like. The fact that most cops don't know what turbo looks like is also the reason why your attitude may have a bearing on the outcome when you get pulled over.

Im not saying I love cops and they will probably sting me one day. But you only have to read this thread to get a taste of what they put up with.
