Heads up to SA peeps.

Check out SAPOL'S latest revenue raising tactic.

Another reason to invest in a dash cam.

Thanks for the heads up Annie.
Which reminds me, I should really get around to having my Blackvue installed.

dodgy... I have seen an unmarked cop car here in brisbane tailgate another car and then pull them over for break checking.. Need a cam recording the rear too...

[jayce321]

For brake checking really. Imagine if the cop ended up rear ending him. Now would the cop or person at fault. Some cops seriously have it out for people

[Dire]

You could defend yourself against that easily. Only question mark is the time of day.

If that was deliberate then it is entrapment, illegal. But flashing your lights is illegal too, and doing it in traffic is dumb.

Both sides at fault.

Sa police I don't expect anything less

[Seffy]

TIL I should buy a dash cam.

What's the license plate number on the Toyota? Dob him in for driving without headlights on? I know Vic is 1 demerit point blammo gone.

Downloaded Sa's demerits pdf MR265 but... Tiny text and yawntastically extensive list that I could not be bothered sifting through the mumbo jumbo formal dross for the answer.

Check out Vic demerits list in plain easy to understand categories:

Mud... meet Crystal Clear.


Feel sorry for SA peeps, best carry some lube with you or get in-car cameras.

Edit

Found it... Rule 215(1)

Screw high beaming other motorists. Roll down window and bark at him "HEADLIGHTS!!!" and point to their headlight. Works best when one is having a bad day, good release without road raging.

Smile optional.

Wow i hope they guy reported the number plate thats crap! and for him to speed off like that with still no headlights on or red and blues thats even more illegal....the nerve of some of these cops

[blinklight]

I have checked with a police officer from traffic division.

You are permitted to flash headlights such as in this situation, HOWEVER they must be on low beam.

Clearly this cop was out to fill his quota as Erin suggested, due to the fact that he continued to drive without lights after the guy alerted him to the fact that the incident was on camera and sped off without putting his lights on.

The chap who filmed this had a camera with low quality vision so was not able to get the rego from my understanding.

Typical SA Police, out for all the money they can get out of us tax payers, no wonder why no one likes the SA Police when they do stupid stunts like this!

Seriously that is a dangerous and arrogant stunt that should never ever happened, it is highly stupid of the officer driving and dangerous, what would of happened if he hit someone or something?

I don't get this video.
