Perth City workers, check your bikes!

[DreamTheater]

G'day all,

So the local Cunstable has gone around yellow stickering motorbikes parked in the city while people are at work.

Unfortunately mine was one of them for a FE (what else?)

Just a heads up, my best guess is they'll do the rounds again in another 2 weeks or so.

Good Grief! That's not fair, I like to argue!

Reminds of the days when they would put reflector stickers on the bumpers of cars at the pub and then watch for them later that night.

[Sauer]

Well, that's one way of making quota!!

Here's an interesting thread with "the code" included:

SilviaWA Forums > yellow sticker in my front yard

and a link to where the code was pulled from:

Western Australian Legislation - Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Regulations 2002 - Home Page

yes it does, years ago a mate down a burnout in the parking spot at leach hwy maccas just as a cop drove past. we seen the cop locked the car and ran and hid inside bunnings. Came out 20min later to find a yellow sticker stuck to the screen and paper work under the wiper

I am still amazed that they manage to fit a 3 1/2yr mechanic apprenticeship in the 8 week course to become a cop...they have all got to be very smart cookies!!!

they dont have to its not up to the cop to say weather something is illegal or not, its the cops job to decide weather the vehicle needs an inspection for "suspected" illegal mods. If its legal or not is up to the pit inspector.

Much like its not a cops jobs to sentence a murderer, but it his his job to locate a suspected murderer so a judge/jury can sentence them.

Yeah, my point exactly - if I was pulled over and stickered it wouldn't phase me. Whatever, my FE is too short, it's annoying but it happens.
On the side of the road at work though, come on seriously guys?

the free bike bays on mounts bay?
or murray/william/etc?

Mine was parked on Stirling St, there were other bikes with stickers too. Hopefully they haven't gone to mounts bay road, yet...

[Wedge]

Would love to be a cop for a day and sticker every pollies vehicle they own for things like "check ride height", "Check oil leaks", "Check headlights" After all they don't require proof, just the idea that something might be a bit low, or a motor might leak oil.

Then see how they like how much time and annoying the process is. A fine in some ways is better, but for that you would need proof...

[out_in_front]

Ha - right behind the police building... Definitely someone who needs to get their quotas up IMO.

[Graedog]

My supervisor got done last week on Barrack St ( outside construction site ) , no fender....

I was lucky to have gone home early

Must be so much fun being a copper, and then they wonder why people don't respect them......

Mr Mike is right. A yellow sticker is like a referral to a specialist.
