Revenue raising, entrapment, and just plain if you are on a motor cycle pull over and i will book you for anything i can think of.When are we the riders going to get together and have our say, people here have a go at NSW and Vic, but the police wouldn't do to them as they have been doing to us and only because WE LET THEM by not getting together and standing up. I have been riding since my 16th birthday to now i am 52, and i have a 08 busa and a 06 GSXR1000, and i am getting to the point of dispair, if you speed and get caught you should get a ticket but these people follow you and use terms such as follow on, where there is no speed gun in the car they just use the term calculated speed and hand out a ticket. It Is not legal, last year a man by the naame of Scott Cooper who runs a company called speeding fine infringements took 1174 people to court and got 1170 of them off their fines that tells you something, the police are in the business of revenue raising so if your caught for any reason take it to court chances are they have done something wrong. Just in the last few weeks a friend of my challenged his fines which weree 5 in total and 14 points in the end he walked out of court loosing 3 points and recieved 1 ticket, 4 of the tickets were dropped, and all he did was plead not guilty and asked for the video after this was done and he went back to court for the last time the police prosecuter approached him with the deal, accept the first charge and we will drop the others. Because the police knew thay couldn't win, reason, because the police knew what had happened was illegal, and thay didn't want it to go to a judge!!!!! anyway sorry i get pretty P.... off about this type of thing.(10-12-2009, 06:27am)big kev Wrote:(10-12-2009, 06:02am)1300hayabusa Wrote:(08-12-2009, 03:48pm)DAD Wrote: QLD is a joke ! The place is over policed to the max and get this Im right near the QLD border and in QLD the cops are right on to you if you have a tail tidy,fender eliminator or what ever you like to call it but NSW no such problems.
Why? All the bikers need to get together and do something about it, Really the cops are out of control up there. They pick on motor bike riders too much.
So like yeah there going to give bikes parking space LOL!!
you could not have said it any better mate.We can proudly shout off the roof tops that we are the most shafted Aus citizens when it comes down to Rego prices:THE MOST EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!................ohhh we also won an academy award in comedy for the state of our roads!!!
seeing that you guys have all these probs up in QLD.approach the MCC in QLD and get them to help fix the problem it will take time but it will get fixed guys.but to get it started it will need people like your selves being proactive
If people up here had an inch of motivation,stopped their winging and voiced these problems this place would be one of the best riding areas in Aus............but........the sun seems to have marinated their brain into a useless mash!!!not all,but A FEW!!!! ACTUALLY WHO AM I KIDDING A WHOLE SHITLOAD OF THEM !!!
