Nothing new really. Been happening in Mansfield for the last five or so years. Haha!

Pat Calinan media has a story on this "operation lift " that has been going on in Queensland , seems that what was legal 6 months ago is now not legal they just forgot to warn people that would be affected .
I read somewhere that someone who knew a QLD copper denied they were targeting fourbies but it seems the opposite is true .
Cops have cheat sheets on each model telling them the measurements in regards to wheels and heights etc .

Again I say something on this from a very well positioned employer. (There are some here that know who I work for). The area of concern is the very grey area of stability control. Just give this some time (as we Qld'ers have been doing for some time now). The AAAA is in a position to bring the NCOP and QCOP in alignment. Unfortunately this is never going to be a quick resolution. Those that know me know that I wish it was with the mods I have on my Trol. To those that cannot meet the QCOP due to this issue, put your vehicle away or don't own a vehicle with Electronic Stability Control. Not to many Patrols have it anyway.

Spoke to a customer today. His client. The Vic Police. In their car park was one of the cuntsables own car. A current model Colorado with a big lift and 35's! MY customer jokingly questioned it, and the copper just smiles and said nothing.

Yep, when they get that jesus badge, they are untouchable.

Me in secure police car park talking to cop arriving before shift: "Hey mate, nice Patrol. I drive one too."
Cop: Explains in detail everything done and how much he loves it.
Me: "I didn't think this particular mod was legal. Am I mistaken?"
Cop: Goes vague.

Its called selective compliance. If he gets pulled up, 'ok mate, I'm in the job, off he goes into the sunset.

Private vehicle but Freddy in the wallet.

Disclaimer: I have utmost respect for the job cops do. I've worked in and around them for a while but I would rather clean toilets for a living than put up with the shit these guys go through. Total respect. But yes there's double standards cop-to-cop.

Just remember all this started by those responsible in government changing the legislation.

Too true! Have you watched the 1970's british comedy Yes Minister? Bloody crackup but also a reflection of how the Westminster system works. The govt departments drive the bus from the back seat while the pollies sit in the drivers seat and waffle shit to the public out the window.
