Actually it wouldnt matter the defects are all legal...... Same as here in Australia, the cops could walk right in and hand everyone defect notices even if they arent driven on the road. Why? Because they are road registered vehicles and are in a PUBLIC place. Fine would be park/drive defective vehicle. Cant get out of it either. Bit different if its at home on PRIVATE property. Even places such as service stations or car parks that have a public access can earn you a defect. A number of us a couple fo months ago got nailed at a servo in Brisbane parked up, although we hadnt moved every car bar one (Yotis's R34) copped a defect/fine. Sux to be us hey? |

The police have to obviously justify the amount they take. They are not taking a "car" per se, they are taking an asset, and they are only allowed to keep the amount of the asset that is owed to them i.e. all admin fees, interest accrued, as well as the original fine. So of course they have to give pack any "profit" made from the sale, or that would be unjust. Also, I'm pretty sure they have to give you a time frame to pay all you owe to them. Neither NZ or Aust is fascist enough to allow police to just take a 40k car (mods and all) and sell it for 8k to just get their fines back. In fact, you can easily argue in court that to pay back the fine, they could of taken your e.g. tv, dvd player etc, because they are only justified in taking the amound of assets owing to them, they are not allowed specifically to take the car. Basically, they took these guys' cars to use as a bargaining chip so the guys will have to come forward to pay their fines. Come on, no one is THAT cruel, not even the police! |

I think the major issue is the fact that this may turn car enthusiasts away from AutoSalon, for fear that their car will get defected. It was one of the few places where it was assumed that you could display your car without any problems for the police. |

please stop preaching your innocent crap,for once this story is the worst type of fine enforcement i ever heard off,very unfair indeed.. for one if you;s think its alright to take a car from a car show then your a tool,thats why they have licences and rego you hit them where it hurts most (they cant cruise if they have no licence can they,dont give em back till they are fully paid same with rego just dont allow rego on the car till its all paid,it aint fair to take their car n sell it,thats bullcrap.. nsw gives you suspension if you dont pay the fine they refuse to remove that order till its paid in full (unless you can prove you need it*never lift it anyway*) same with rego,they just black list your name on transport computer you cant get nothing through em not even a 18+card.. i feel for em but i guess you pay the fine/s or suffer but thats not the right way to go about it,at least say *we keep your car till all money is paid and you will be paying for storage* thats fairer then this crap.. BTW why didnt they just reposess their belongings etc? |

all i can say is, if the cops dont know why everyone doesnt like them they should by now, its because of that crap the cops lose respect, but in saying that if the cops accually had some respect i dont think they would pull a stunt like that, i always say this, find the middle ground, you give a little then take a little, do you really think the cops would be assholes to car enthuists if we were nice and respected them and listened to them? no, they would be nice and give us some slack, as for the guys who didnt pay there fines, well i feel sorry for them but at the end of the day it was there own fault, but i am very upset that the cops could sink that low |

Hehe.. the cop actually liked my car..  Tho everything that is defectable I have already fixed and have the paid fines to show for it.. plus mine was the last car checked. So I would say its luck that he didnt book me for stupid stuff like some other cops did.  Anyhow my 2c on the topic is that they didnt pay fine, sucked in for having it taken away, i've paid the fines that I have ever got and if they can spend so much on making the car more bling then they have no excuse for not paying their fine.. Defect on a car show tats wrong, like the QR one....  Someone mentioned b4 about sending a summon to court.. well they may have? we cant be sure can we?

you are an absolute fool, im not preaching anything, except the fact that you are a tard. It dam well serves them right, they think they can get away with anything so its only fair that they have the items causing the fines taken away from them i bet you are one of those whingers that cries and complains when they do something wrong and get caught, your solution is crap, what if people never pay the fines? and just go and get another car and keep it registered under someone else? my solutions for you? keep crying like you are, no one cares |

taking their cars cause they never paid a lot of fines, good i say, have disrespect for the law and treat tickets like a joke, they wont show you no respect either. Taking their cars to be sold is good, they got the money to spend few grand on wheels, few grand on stereo etc but dont pay their fines? morons i say, good on the cops |

That's f*cked they had their pride and joys taken away from them....Can you imagine the hours and hours and hours of work these ppl put it to produce these cars. However at the same time, the only ppl they can blame are themselves. Do the crime do the time...or in this case do the crime, pay the fine. If they can afford to spend copious amounts of money on their cars in the first place, they should be able to afford the costs of the fines they produce for speeding or illegal mods or whatever the fines were for in the first place. Damn shame though. |
