heres the story some old people from a local RSL pulled my rego for "hooning" and demanded my car be impounded for doing a burnout RIGHT IN FRONT of a police station, yet I left no visible sign of rubber on the road or smoke the "incident" was me taking off out of a carpark accross the road from the police station promptly in the wet with traction control on, yes it chirped a couple times but was not even close to a burnout, and comeon right in FRONT of a police station??!? - so theres the incident now the police visit
i answer a knock to the door and get "hello is this mr xxxxxxxx, we have had a report of you hoon driving at xxxxxxx place at xxxxxxxxx time, was this you?" my response "uum isn't that right out the front of the police station" their response "one second" and off they wandered to the squad car, I waited at the door while they were doing "something" and chatting in the squad car and after about 5 minutes one of them returned to the door and said "don't worry about it, sorry to waste your time" and with that he got in the squad car and off they went RESEARCH officers RESEARCH! if I was to hoon drive or burnout right out front the police station I am pretty sure they come out and jam me up and impound my car, to close it ****ed me off that a member of the public can go HOON HOON and give your rego to cops and they come over all hardass like, but in this case the police were made to look somewhat stupid so jokes on them this time, next time someone decides to do that I hope they don't come in too hot and impound cars with no proof apart from some dudes' say so so thats my vent thanks guys |

Cops were only responding to a complaint AKA doing their job.

You should seek legal advice and serve the informant with a summons. You can probably sue the idiot for defamation, lying to police and trying to slander your good name. But really, for the police to consider even following this up is pretty ordinary form. I think the world has bigger problems that are more important than a burnout report from RSL members that have obviously had a little too much to drink. I'm glad the police involved had the initiative to let common sense prevail.
Anyway, if they did decide to follow it up, you could always take it to court. It wouldn't take much for a first year conveyancing solicitor to discredit a senior citizen's eyesight and hearing that had just stepped out of an RSL. |

This country of ours is getting ridiculous really. Accuse someone of being a murderer if they go 1 kmh over after all; "every K over is a killer", yet we appease the actual murderers, rapists and criminals in general. What a joke.

my point is like some have touched upon someone screams hoon to them and they follow it up, someone says rape,murder, break and enter etc they are too busy - chasing motorists for revenue I am sure people have noticed as soon as it hits the fan, the cost to motorists increase to cover it - pyramid anybody? and shouldn't that be stopped now? anyway I am meandering I would prefer police officers be doing things to combat crime fighting drugs and guns and stuff..... not jamming up motorists, and also if it was my intention to do a burnout why would I have had traction control on? you all should know how easy it is with TC off in these cars I just had to vent, sorry if it was misconstrued
![]() ALSO I don't care if you believe me or not, if the police in the station thought there was a problem they would have at the very least looked out the window to see what all the noise was, and how silly would one be to deliberately light em up right outside a police station?? kinda like stabbing a sleeping bear in the nose with a fork......

Yeah what a joke. I had $4000.00 of wheels and tyres stolen from my brand spanken new car (VYSS at the time) with a perfect full hand print of who did it on the right guard of my white car and they wouldnt even come out to look.. Yet someone calls you a hoon and they visit.. If this is where our extra police officers that are supposedly already understaffed are going its a joke.

We have a winner folks!!! And this is the biggest problem I have with police and their policy in general. You can run around raping, bashing, stealing, breaking and entering, etc, etc and it's all too hard for the cops to follow up (and yes, I'm speaking from experience as a victim to some of the above crimes). But as soon as you loose traction momentarily (before ESP / traction control cuts in) or travel at 3km over a signposted speedlimit BAM!!! they're onto you with a public display of flashing lights, sirens sounding, two officers in the car wasting tax payers money. |

In your post you state that you chirped it twice upon leaving the car park.
There's your answer. You were obviously not driving to the weather conditions at the time. |

Even though it may seem harsh you have to see it from the elderly peoples point of view, they are probably used to seeing young people harass and intimidate them on the road with loutish and immature behaviour and therefore saw your "two little chirps" as the same sort of behaviour. I can tell you from experience that a law suit will fail, you have not been charged nor have you been punished. If it was a concerted continual effort to get you in trouble then yes, you would have a claim but as it has already been dealt with where no negative outcome has been reached then all counsel will do is take your money for the consultation.

WHile i don't think the police did the wrong thing as has been said they are only doing there job, the joke is the situation the government have put us in, all dobbing on one another..
To my mind the only people enforcing the laws should be the police themselves not some oldies sitting at the RSL.. |

If someone is caught red handed by the law then yes they should be punished but if someone dobs them in and there is no evidence then it should be good for a warning and nothing else. |

what are you supposed to say when the cop asks that question with no evidence other then someones word?
"Yes officer, I did a marley, take me away."

There must be something wrong with old people outside RSL's. Last night some silly ol bugger wanted to make a huge deal out of a car parked badly that was slightly inhibiting his exit path. I said mate your in a getz, you can get through there no problem. I'll watch that you don't hit it. But he just kept carrying on.
