Just this arfternoon I was pulled over in my datto ute. it wasnt much it was something random but i got annoyed at the fact that he took his time to pull me over.
I pulled out of my gf's place and just before i did a copper drove by, then i pulled out and drove along. he had pulled over to the side waited for myself and another car to pass and started following just before pulling into my little estate.. he put his lights on. asked me a few questions bout if its my car and is it reg.. bla bla.. gave me a breath test.. he did a rego check while he was following me.
Has anyone been pulled up before like that? or has been continously pulled over by being singled out ?

I drove a 120Y, Stock except for a bright yellow respray and 14x7" rims, 215's on the back. For the first 6 months I was pulled over at LEAST once a week for RANDOM inspections. After 6 months they all new that there was nothing wrong and left me alone. That is when the FUN started.
Oh, and I have a fine for undue noise in a stock 120Y with 215's for doing a burnout. I handed the keys to the copper and asked him to show me how. . . 18months later of court visits, I gave in and paid the fine. Working as a contractor I had to take a day off at a time. . .
The latest I have had happen to me and a few mates is for them to pull you over for a chat. . . I had one of these with an A15 etc blah blah blah, what have you done?
I just removed the pollution gear. . .
Righto , you're nicked!
From past experience, don't tell 'em anything. . . or trust them. Sorry if this is stereotypical.

Here in Burbank,CA having a 'old' car or one with primer or painted more than 1 color can get you pulled over. I NEED to finish painting my car, I'm always watching to make sure I don't draw any attention.

This is why I have a race car and a stock EF Falcon to drive on the road with. it will be harder and harder to get away with doing anything worng on the roads in the future. I reckon they will have a CPU on board which tells the RTA how many times you went over the limit in a certain area etc etc. It will then be checked by the RTA at rego renewal and then they will decide if you can keep your licence or re-register your car or not.

ECU to monitor speed? Like a speed limiter on all trucks, That seems to work real well!
What would they do with all the speed cameras if they limited the speed???
Like Smoking and poker machines. . .

When I had my RX3 coupe, I got pulled over 5 times in 3 days. Never ticketed, just random checks. Wen I had my first datto, I got pulled over by a bitch pig. She asked me for my details, (In those days it wasn't compulsory to carry your lisence) she fed them into her RT. Because of my unfortunate surname, the women on the other end read back to the pig who I was and added "He's an actor" just to be funny. The pig thought she said "and there's an active". So she's all like, theres an active charge, Im gonna have to arrest you. And I'm like nah I don't think so! so she rechecked with despatch, and let me go. WHEW!
Nowdays, the grandad spec sunny never gets hassles.

Yeah mate its is unfortunate that the TV had to use your name, you should have them up for some money for the copyright!!!!
And have you started work on that MoPar yet???
I would have thought that I would get pulled over in my Truck, as it has the tints etc, but I dont seem to have any problems with them, they just drive start passed or dont even take a second look.
