Friday night after I left Concord i headed into the city and went down george street to see if any nice cars were out before dropping my friend home.. only to get signalled into a defect station the police had setup towards the rocks.
now firstly, i always assumed the police who were setup at defect stations had specific texts which they shud check to see if a car is legal.
the policeman asked if i had any modifications, i only told him about the wheels and the exhaust. but acted nicely the entire time.
anyway, one of the other cops was having trouble opening my bonnet, i stepped out (although i was meant to stay inside) coz i didnt want him to screw anything up and he asked me to show him the latch but i just opened it for him anyway, a female cop then came over and they were just sorta staring into the engine bay.. with sorta blank looks.
the cop that had pulled me over seemed okay, and i think thought i was okay so didnt bother checking my exhaust levels.
the conversation then went:
Policeman: "what car is it?"
me: "a vectra."
Policeman: "nice car, any blow off valves?"
me: "er.. no its not a turbo?"
Policeman: "we dont know man, we are just doing our job"
isnt it their job to know so they CAN defect actual defects :?: :!:
