Below are some of our own person tips and general advise

Was It Your Fault?

One thing to remember when you are stopped by the police, did you do something wrong and obvious?? People who are speeding or drive a vehicle that has a obvious defect, hold yourself responsible for road rules. You should know these to the extent that apply to you!

Answering Questions

While the legal requirement is to provide your name and address to a police officer and nothing else, if a police officer questions you on other things like where you are going or questions. Most times it is fine to say your just going to the shops or a friends house, but you should not have to specifiy any details beyond that.

Staying In Vehicle

If you are stopped by the police, some people prefer to get out of the vehicle and wait by it while others remain inside. Some police may dislike you getting out unless asked, use that as a chance to search or glance in it. If the stop is longer than a breath test or license check, ask them if you can get out.

Leaving Engine On

This one we will leave up to you, but personal opinion at times has been leave it running. If they ask you to turn it off, you know your going to be there for awhile.

Radio & Windows

When the police stop you, do the right thing and turn down your radio if it is load/on and wind down your drivers window.

Recording Your Offense

If you have been stopped and are being done for an offense that is incorrect/false. Record the situation on your mobile phone, advise the police you are going to record them due to previously been targetted and that it will only be used in defense of any defects, offenses, threats, procedure you disagree with. They are not allowed to stop you from recording them in a public place.

Ask Questions

If they are issuing you with a notice you do not agree with, ask them a few questions while recording. What are the legal specifications of "the defect(s)", how did they determin the current measurement of the item in question.

False Defects

If they have issued you a notice for a defect you know is false, after they leave or before they ask you to leave the scene. Do what you can to reperform the tests or show the items in question. For ride height, find an item that is common and can be used as a ruler (coke can)

Vehicle Inspection

If you receive a major defect and are required to have a full vehicle inspection, make sure your vehicle is in near pefect condition. This includes items like no drips, grease, dirt, grim, tears and all operations on the vehicle must be working and safe. Any aftermarket or replacement items will need to be legal. They can be nice there and if they find a minor defect will let you know and let you fix it yourself.
