While I am well aware that my car is not one that just blends into traffic Saturday night reminded me that some Police officers are just out to get anyone who chooses to have a modified car!
Heres the story,
about 11.00 pm on the way to a 21st in Eastwood, just cruising at 50 km/h (in a 60 zone) along Blaxland Rd looking for the party minding my own business when suddenly the blue and red lights suddenly flash from behind.
Considering I hadn't done anything stupid I am pretty surprised as to why I have been pulled over.
Cop gets out and comes to my window and accuses me of throwing a cigarette out the window, I have never smoked in my life! He then accuses me of it again, I tell him to look as much as he wants with his mag light for a lighter, cigarette hell even a pack of them because there no way I'd have it because I don't smoke!
So he does a breath test. Then he asks me to get out of the car, suddenly the cigarette out the window has turned into sparks coming from the back of my car, thanks for the concern officer but if something metallic was sparking I think I'd hear or feel it!
So then the other officer gets out and surprise they start checking over my car, here we go I think to myself.
They start off with,
Q: Whats that on your exhaust???
Me: An oil stain from the front diff seal, which leaked that I repaired.
Them: The exhaust is low isn't it?
Me: No why do you say that
Them: Do you have engineer’s papers for this car?
Me: Sure do, here you go!
Them: Whats the go with your front tyre?
Me: It scrubbed slightly on the inner guard at the race track, I fixed the problem and the slight cut will wear away, oh by the way I am a mechanic too!!!
Them: uhh ok...... well on your way
Me: good evening officers!!!
Absolute waste of time for both parties involved, as far as I am concerned it was pretty much harassment because they merely made up some bullshit excuse to pull me over, an RBT ok but don't give me some bullshit story!! At all times I kept my cool and reminded them I was not being a smart arse, I feel I played the game fairly and they really didn't have anything to pin me with
thankfully.
Any other forum users suffer anything similar to this?
