Write the letter then send if off with a copy of the inspection report and a bill for the inspection and your time.

Otherwise how are they supposed to know some cops are just on ego trips and picking on people with nice cars for no real reason.

The more people complain the more they might take notice and if were lucky something even may get done eventually.

Yeah, with some of the shit buckets I've driven over the years, I've spent a bit of time at the pits.

If you refer to what Jordie has stated on the report it states 'To be checked', they aren't really making a claim that the items are aftermarket 'on paper', which is unfortunately all that matters.

Doubt these types of situations are ever going to be rectified as the claims can always be worded in such a way as they have no real meaning.

Would be an interesting News Report though, getting a random selection of Officers to view X sample of vehicles and sticker the appropriate ones. Whilst you wait for a spokes person to state 'Officers aren't deemed to be experts in Motor Vehicles but are trained to look for certain blah blah blahs and help aid in ensuring that they are kept to the strict Australian standards', whilst they cut to some over-exaggerated example of a car below legal ride height with all the Hot 4's trimmings.

All the baby-boomers get behind them and case closed.

Unsure if you're still on your P's Jordie but unfortunately you're going to be a cop magnet with that type of car whilst you are.

We've all had shitty and good experiences with Police Officers it just would be nice for those that have an ego from it to get over it quickly and do some real policing.

Before you take it over Jordie it might be a good idea to go to a car wash station, jack it up and have a look underneath cleaning it and inspecting it to the best of your abilities. I've been over the pits a few times and noticed that they already have a preconception based on the appearance of your vehicle.

Yes powder, from what I understand it's in bags which are in bags which are in sea containers and a bit of dust us getting out.

People whom don't understand that boat ramps are set up for one side release and one side retrieval.

First I've ever heard of that. I thought it was first come first served basis.
Everyone's launching in the morning, retrieving in the arvo, makes no sense to only utilise half the ramp????

My understanding is 'when looking down the ramp', left side is launch and right hand side is for retrieval though its okay when there is no traffic to go either side.

I'm currently checking up on the legislation so unsure of the exact letter of law.

Has to be something in place for situations like today.

We were at Crawley Bay ramp and people wouldn't yield going in so you had a bank up of boats wanting to get out whilst being surrounded by moorings and boat docks.
