i live in NSW and we do get harrased sometimes by the police, as for defects i have seen my fair share of people getting them and i must say all but one where warranted, i use to get pulled over at least 3 to 4 times a week whist i was on my p's and only one time i had a cop who tryed to defect my car as my carbs did not have a stock air cleaner, a simple call to his superior sorted this out quick smart, most of the cops where i live are good people but there are a couple that are arses. for being pulled over due to a copper liking my car this has also happend i was more then happy for him to have a look. moral to the story "if your not doing anything wrong your not going to get done for hooning"
