He failed to stop for police, drives home and locks the gates on police and refuses to talk to them until his lawyer arrives. Seriously your defending him?

Police are doing their job...
No chip on my shoulder...

this is getting too far off topic, but as i put in the other thread - if he has broken the law, then he should face the consequences

many here are complaining of the exemption - he has the exemption to use the car for work, just like some people here and no doubt a few throughout the country. if he has been a bad boy then too bad for him, but most posts here are complaining that he has the exemption. the potential breaking the law part is secondary

In the USA, things aren't as free and easy as people would have you believe...California is very strict on mods...look in any Yank car magazine and you will usually see a little label on them saying "For off road use only" or "Not for road use in California"...they're very clean and green there by state government edict.

Then you have the problem which hasn't...yet...reared its ugly head here: clunker laws.
In many states n the USA, you can modify your car as long as it meet regs, but the fun begins when you have either a parts car at home or your street car is off the road being modded, say in your driveway or beside the shed. Some laws go as far as saying that if an unregistered vehicle can be seen from the road, it will be confiscated and crushed as a clunker. Others say if there's a complaint about the vehicle, they'll come and take it. Some say if it's "not complete" they'll come and take it. This has been a sticking point with old car clubs and the classic car movement or many years now, and it's all in the name of the environment ad the green movement.
Remind me again who holds the balance of power in parliament here...?

Just be thankful we're not like the USA...

Proof? You can't seriously believe they can enter your property and just take your car do you.

I believe that is the case in nearly all states I think, if that is the case why wasn't he arrested and charged? even his money or fame couldn't save him from that one.

Here's one or instance...in that area, if there's a complaint and the authorities put the magic blue chalk mark on a tyre, you have 72 hours to move it or it's gone...

Quote:

One of Giunchigliani's proposed codes is raising questions about whether it might infringe on property rights.
It would give the county the authority to remove from a person's property a vehicle that "has been damaged or is in such a state of disrepair as to constitute an imminent hazard to the public."
Passers-by must have access to the vehicle -- for instance, children who might be tempted to climb on it.
Still, Constable John Bonaventura said he is concerned that towing a vehicle, even a dead one, from the owner's driveway might be unconstitutional.
He is in favor of the county's code matching the city's rule against moving a vehicle a short distance on a street to avoid citations, he said. Creating a uniform code in both jurisdictions would simplify things for deputies, who no longer would have to worry about whether a street falls into county or city turf, he said.
But taking anything from private property, no matter how unsightly it is, can be a sticky matter, Bonaventura said. What began as a straightforward code change has become "convoluted," he added.

I can't find an exact link (hey, not everything is archived on the internet), but there are areas that do indeed come into your property and take old cars that are unregistered or "incomplete" if they'e visible from the road or a complaining neighbours property...

Are Ford shakers legal on cars that didn't have them from factory? Eg XDs, XEs, XA-B-C, etc.

ratter · 29-01-2012, 01:02 PM

not if the bonnet supports need to be cut or any pollution equipment is disconnected.

gtxb67 · 29-01-2012, 01:05 PM

when have bug catchers been illegal. i thought if they were not too high and had a tray around the carby to effectively seal the hole in the bonnet, they were ok

maybe this answers my question, but i had thought the scoop itself was not a problem

ratter · 29-01-2012, 01:11 PM

Please double check my answer with a licenced rwc tester as it may not be up to date

Not sure myself. i have heard of people being hasseled over them. but i'll try on my au since air cleaners are a menace to society.

blownv8au · 29-01-2012, 01:19 PM

Pretty sure even on the xy bonnet surpports re cut but there is a reiforcement plate added. and bug catchers have always been illegal in qld 1 its reflective. 2 has moving parts. But plenty of people have them.

I'm not disagreeing with you Ratter as I too reckon that is the current law.
But I could never understand quite why. In all my years of being involved with modified cars I have never seen anybody injured or killed due to a hole cut and some bonnet bracing removed. I know of cars that still retain their cut bonnets and after 25 + years haven't suffered because of it.

ratter · 29-01-2012, 02:12 PM

I guess the law makers have to draw the line somewhere, like years ago you could have a little damage to a windscreen before it became unroadworthy, but testers all had a difference of opinion on what was acceptable and what wasn't, possibly in this case they could think a little cut/removal would be fine, but then it could be interpreted differently by different people and what may ok on 1 car may be different on a different model or brand

i think someone is over compensating for being over circumcised......twice.

im pretty sure in nsw the is a height limit for items coming out of the bonnet and i heard there is some sort of test where they roll a ball over it to make sure that it does roll over it and not jam up on it or something.

rancidpunx · 29-01-2012, 04:02 PM

Bullbars absolutely have a place on Australian vehicles. I live in the country and have hit a roo in the FG ute. I have also hit a roo in the Ranger and I can tell you which one cost less to the repair, 100% less.
However mums in their Prados probably dont need one in the city considering the only time it will see any real action is when theres a few leafs on the road.

au11futura · 29-01-2012, 04:10 PM

i already commented there end of the day cops are the governments puppets and in turn the goverernment are **** scared of the aussie media.

i am discusted they all opperate to discredit genuine people who work hard to pay there bloody wages and bguild the aussie dream car they always wanted as a child....shame shame shame coppers and media.

also if you realy want to get technical aussie cop cars are defectable aswell.
they have laptops comming out of their dashes, lights witch can hurt a pedestrian, antennas ptruding everywhere, their boots contain guns, these cop cars are the biggest hazard on the road, they are not factory standard vehicles.

no ifs or buts our law enforcement does not work for the people any more they are puppets.

they should be ashamed.

ratter · 29-01-2012, 04:57 PM

there are certain laws which exclude emergency vehicles from some rules, but there cars are always kept in legal condition or else they are removed from use immediately until rectified

Actually you really need to be ashamed....

Antennas? So what.... they arent illegal. And pose no danger to anyone.
Light bars... they are on the roof of a car... again big deal.
Cars carry roof racks from factory and people put plenty of things on their roof. Its NOT illegal.

Laptops ? Not illegal and the officer isnt going to use them while driving. Its only a danger to THEM in the car.

They boots contain guns???? haha sorry they dont you been watching too much hollywood.

Not factory standard cars??? Sorry they ARE FACTORY CARS.

Whats next? Are you going to hurl abuse at ambulance drivers and their highly illegal ambulances?
