These laws are a problem for all of us. Now you can have your car impounded and have to front court all based on Joe Public. All that will happen will be a bunch of disgruntled people will start 'doing the right thing' and video taping everyone they think is a 'menace to society'. A few creative camera angles and you can look fast.

Next thing you know we'll have a deduction from our pay each week for "speeding fines" and at the end of the year we can calculate how much we have paid and write off how much we should have paid.

Wait that sounds more like a tax than a way to reduce the road toll

That pic is from the front of the west quite a few months back, so different person.

The kid obviously shat himself and admitted to doing those "hoon" things otherwise why would your car be taken when there is no EVIDENCE that you committed the crime. Video's / footage, yeah fair enough. But on the 'word' of people who live in the area?? What a crock. Who's to say a heap of people dont have it in for your family etc?

i would imagine that the shot of that dude is a file photo (ask jan about photo theiving), my issue isnt that he got dobbed in, as he was obviously being a fuckin retard, but that theyve taken his car on the word of some pleb. yeah he gets to go to court, but likely to see his impounding fees returned if found innocent? doubt it

He was obviously driving out of control, in a piece of shit car. It may be justice but it's not a civilised method.

I think that if the cop didn't catch you doing the crime, it didn't happen.

Innocent till 'PROVEN' Guilty...
Now its sooo far the other way its just retarded... Almost as retarded as this years state budget :P Housing, housing, housing and not much else :P

You drive a performance car therefore you must be a hoon and you must be guilty... intentional or not.

When the hoon laws first came into affect i almost got done for 'breaking traction' because somebody earlier that day must of punched a nice hole in their sump... engine oil all over the road... cop immediately went 'you were drifting' and i immediately went 'look at the oil on the road' and mumbled something like 'your an idiot'... he wasnt happy with my 'smart-arse comment' although it was perfectly accurate... shoot first, ask questions later... in this case its more like 'fine first, ask questions later'

Dunno if anybody caught the media coverage on this when it was first passed, but the "evidence" (be it video, audio?!, image etc) needs to irrefutably identify the car involved, the driver involved and what ever it is that they are doing wrong.

There is more to the story than they tell us (and it sounds scary the way they presented it) that kid either shat himself and confessed (as you said earlier) or there was more evidence given to the police than just a phonecall "hey officer, trev is doing burnouts in the street again!".

Giddy? Somebody back me up here...
