kinda really dont know how to take the freakin cops
like we see all these unmarked cars and hear all these stories bout the crap cops do to ppl
yet for me since i have owned that car which is less than 2 months i have been followed by police 4 times
in numurous situations in numurous location
like tonight on my way back to Morley from Belmont going up Hardy Rd not booting not doing anything cop passes me going other direction, i see him do an instant U'y behind the car behind me, i pull up at Great Eastern Hwy lights to turn right he goes left lane but stops a bit behind the car next to me (3 lanes wide) so he can get a look at my plate and run it in, does nothing turns left and leaves me alone
no i know u all say thats a good thing , but thats the 4th time in less than 2 months that they just tail me and obviously check on me, its like i never got this much attention in any other car and if i did i was pulled over
what is wrong with these cops ????

They didn't even pull you over or give you a yellow sticker...
They probably ran your plates to see if it was stolen already... Doing you a favour mate lol
believe it or not they have jobs to do other than make your life miserable and follow you around.
Frankly, I wish more cops would run my plates when I'm driving around, actual crime fighting ftw...

Had my VL for about a year now and I've never been pulled over once. I've gone through 5 boose buses and never been stopped, always waved through. Sat next to many cops at the lights and never been stickered despite having 18" rims nothing special but still above legal, car too low, tint too dark and on P plates, and had police drive next to me for km's with out any trouble or following me. Can't be happier

Only times I was ever pulled over was because I was doing something wrong
Never have been picked on besides that.

I get tailed all the time and touch wood ive never had a yellow either... but i agree with the comment above... in my experience cops in Perth (i dont know about the other cities) really really really seem to have a thing against VLs... I was in my mates one time and cop did a huge ***n U turn over a median strip just to pull us over and give the car a yellow for having and exhaust system and lack od passenger side sun visor...
I was tailed a few weeks ago right up to my driveway. Thing is they had to do a U turn aswell as they were heading in the oppposite direction ANDDDDD they were in a huge big van! I was like WTF cuz as i got out of my car to disarm the house alarm the cop van was creeping past with this down syndrome looking cop STARING at my car with a totally 'gone out' look on his face...
Personally I highly dislike Perth traffic cops... I think they concentrate waaaaaay too much on modified or possibly modified cars if not just older cars when they should spend more time pulling the oil burners off the road... the amount of bunkys I see getting around that, unless have been converted to diesel, burn a hell of a lot of smoke and seem to get away with it...
Just to add, my neighbour has a VE v6 crewman thing and he has a yellow on it... im not sure why but it dosent even have mags! what a joke!!!

like thats the thing i havent problems yet but i just dont get it and i know they doing there jobs and i know i do nothing wrong, but in the past i have been doing nothing wrong in other cars and they just pull me over
but this car they seem to follow me for a few hundred metres then back off and go annoy some1 else, and i know its a good thing a get away and obviously rego and licence is all good so its not like i'm really getting away but its just starting to get annoying that there always seems to be cops in my rear view mirror just lookin over my shoulder

07-04-09, 12:21 GMT+10#15 I've found most of the normal patrol police are alright guys, and let me off with warnings if I have a taillight out or something. The traffic police are the ones that usually give me a yellow and a hard time But that's what they're instructed to do on their shift, so guess we just have to throw on an invisibility cloak when we're around them.
