So if they suspect something is wrong (and in most cases its pretty damn obvious IE bald tyres, suspension, tints, etc), they'll issue a work order so someone who knows what they are looking for, can go over your car.

Some cops know whats goin on because they are car enthusiasts, but some have no fucking idea, and they'll sticker you for stupid things.

If you take your car throught the pits and there is nothing "wrong" with it, do you get any moneys paid back?

I'd be sending the cop an invoice

No you dont get any moneys back at all, because the inspector still had to look at your car to find out that there was nothing wrong with it

Yeah thats it they are just out to make more money out of us at the end of the day. When I got pulled over too, it was the same situation, good cop, and bad cop, good cop was great explained everything to me, bad cop was a complete tool, even put my sticker on slanted.... by the way does this tell the pits to be c*nts?

Thanks for the advise everyone!!

The slanted sticker thing is a bit of a myth if you ask me, I've had slanted stickers before because the cop was too lazy to put it on straight...i was being polite to him and everything!

It really depends on your attitude when you get to the pits more than anything..

Same here I was polite too, but still a slanted sticker. I went into the pits with 4 items flagged, came out with 12.... NICE ONE!

Direct from the horses mouth many, many times - the slanty yellow sticker absolutely DOES mean that the pits guys are meant to give you a hard time.

Two problems for the rozzers:
1) some pits inspectors think the cops are retards and give out heaps of yellows, so they just ignore it
2) it's very easy to peel them off and put them back on straight.

If you're a respectable citizen and you're not anywhere you're not meant to be, and you're not doing anything you're not meant to, you shouldn't get a yellow anyway.

Geoff i'm guessing your a pom..... it's been a while since i heave heard the cops being called the rozzers.

in reply
1)good, but then again you get the old skool grump fat bastards who have become bitter with old age
2)i was too chicken to do that

I was on my way home from playing pool at 11pm, nothing sinister really, but i guess they needed to get their numbers up for the night, god dam!
