random call from the police

I just recieved a phone call from the local sergeant informing me of their recent efforts to curb speed on Mt Nebo Road. I live at the top of the mountain, but have never recieved a speeding fine from a camera on that road. He said something along the lines of "we have visited that location 30 times since May, and we're extremely successful in catching offenders, with a top speed of 126km/h in a 70 zone (car overtaking a bike)". He was speaking with a tone that made the call sound like a warning... Does anyone have any idea why the police makes calls like this? How do they know who i am and where i live? (yes, i know they obviously have everyones adresses/number plates, but i cant imagine they go around calling all young ppl in the areas they have speed cameras).
This is after being pulled over by undercover cops at the university of queensland for a "friendly chat" (wasn't doing anything remotely illegal).
Also, i drive a pretty standard ae86, so i can't imagine their picking on me cause im a "hoon"
Interestingly, has anyone ever heard of the police keeping a hoon register? A friend from work found out about the register when placed on it by a officer in the Gap. Apparently u don't have to commit an offence, its just a list they keep of "likely suspects".

Far out, that's a bit strange and a bit of a worry dude. I'd be laying low for a while and being very careful.

You sure it was a cop and not someone trying to shitstir?
Still i guess they could have been bored and wanted something to do.
Reminds me of the cop who was completly bored one night so he rang another cop shop and acted like he was deppressed and was about to top himself.Had the guy going on the phone for about 10 mins before he hung up.

sexy 16: hats all well and good, but if they did get a complaint from someone who called the cops with the plates, then all they do is put his plates marked in the computer as VOI, vehicle of interest, then when a cop sees him they rape his ass for only having his indicator on for 1.9 secs b4 changing lanes instead of 2 secs

i'm pretty sure it was a legitimate policeman, cause he made reference to complaints i've made to them before.

hmmmm evosti has the right idea
practiced and proven idea
just remember if your plates are stolen they have to be canceled and replaced and since you desire to drive asap they have to issue you with new different plates rather than you wait several weeks for the old plates

that hoonn register is very true actully, i have been told about it by several good sources, however its only stored under the local cop shops that you live around or are often seen around, not regional. ALso i know they have quite alenghy list of numberplates from the runs, even spectators. Again this is from a very reliable source.

in victoria they have can "blacklist" u. im not sure if its official or not... i have been told when pulled over (being stupid) that i am listed as a knowen street racer (i drive a fairly standard commodore wagon) because i was caught leaving the illegal drags one night and that i am on suspicion of doin burnouts etc etc... another night when pulled over i was told by a policeman they where going to start going around to certian peoples houses and inform the person/their parents etc that they are knowen to break the law and that they are being watched... another bloke at trade school said the cops said to him that his listed and if he gets pulled over they will canarie his car etc etc....

hahahahhaha,
I'll just clear a few things up.
Firstly, There is no such things as a 'Hoon list' or a 'Hoon register'.
Secondly, Dont bother changing your plates, the warning on the police system are linked to the car, plates and driver.
Mookie - Tried to put your house under surveilance? Mate, if they did, they wouldnt tell you about it, and they sure as hell wouldnt tell your lawyer about it.
White86 - They probably gave you a ring because they have had a complaint about your style of driving, whether it be road rage, burnouts, speed, etc. The complianant probably grabbed your rego and went into the local cop shop. This pain in the arse person would have wanted you charged etc etc. The Copper, to get rid of the person, would have told them that they will give you a buzz. and warn you. Dont worry about it, its not detrimental.

Your Wrong,
Im a police officer , we dont have a vehicle register for people who do burnouts, speed, etc. So unless youve been doing ram raids, a dug courier, arm holdups or a criminal of that calibre, we wont have your car black listed.
For sure, warnings can be placed on your car, and they will be if your caught doing burnouts etc, but these is no such thing as a blacklist of sorts.

Errr....As far as i am led to believe laws such as this depend on what state you are in, if you can prove to me that is doesnt exist in SOUTH AUSTRALIA then I will believe you, becuase it is more than a co-incidence that my old cars were pulled over nearly once a month for "random" stops...

Whether or not there is an official "black list" or "hoon register" is beside the point... I know for a fact that the gap police at least have some sort of record of vehicles they classify as hoons. I have been in a car that was pulled over, with the police having no reason or intention to issue a fine/infringment notice, simply for the offficer to inform him they were taking note of his car.
I also resent any implications that i have been doing burnouts or anything else of that nature, and in fact my only infringment has been a 3 point speeding fine on a straight 5 lane section of road at 12:30 on a tuesday nite (i did not see a single car on my 30km trip home).
Since i started this thread i have had several other runs in with the police and on no occasion have i been guilty or suspected of any sort of offence. This has included being tailed by an undercover car on 3 pizza deliveries in a row (they wait outside the pizza store and follow you for the first 5 minutes, then go back to the store and wait for you again) - this is something that has happened to many of the drivers at my store.
I don't know what complaints have been made against me, or what the grounds of the complaints may be... This doesn't anger me or anything, but it begs the question - how bored do the police get? The Gap must be a suburb completely devoid of any actual crime...

I don't know if it's a coincidence or what but when I first bought my car I got pulled over all the time (got RBT'd 5 times in one trip down windsor rd once).
I changed my number plates to some custom plates and since then I hardly ever get pulled over.
It may be because it took a month or so before the police records for the previous owner were changed or it could have been the plates but it was quite freaky being pulled over so much.
When it was happening I assumed it was only because my car looked modified even though it is 100% original... but I haven't been pulled over for ages now!
As I said it could just be coincidence but it was really strange being pulled over that much before and now very rarely being pulled over.

Hi,
When I first got my car I got into a drag with some guy in the SS Torana Hatchback. We hit over 120kph over Tom Uglies bridge and went like this all the way to Caringbah.
We finally pulled over, and he shows his cop badge and stuff. He was off duty and told me to be more careful and if I keep driving like that I'll get killed or caught.
I never forgot that 'cos I thought it quite bizarre. Touch wood, never been followed or hassled by cops yet - and hope to keep it that way.

I used to own a mitsu Cordia, It used to be A highway patrol car, swaped the motor out for a VR4 motor had a run at a "secluded rd", 2 months later at 11pm siting d little carpark next to marconi club (Waiting for a mate to show up) I get a surprise visit from 3 hwypatrol cars n 2 paddy wagons, the pull up high beams on torches out, start asking me a million question about drugs my driving history and the mods on the car, they searched my car top to bottom inside and out but amazingly for got to search my boot, I told them Id been to the runs once but that was ages ago n the car was mainly for occasional track days.
They then persisted with the drag racing n that I'd been "sited" at illegal meets on several occasions to which i replied I was just spectating they then calmed down with questions and the torches and seeing the car didnt have anything wrong with it (was engineered) they settled down and began asking me how the car went n just random stuff like that, they said that they had previously had reports from residents about drug deals and stuff like that, but seeing that i was "clean" they started to joke around saying that they were hoping to find some drugs so they could unwind after knock off time.
Sold the car a few months later, And have stayed away from the Runs ever since.

Was only reading this thread a day or two ago, so figured i'd add what just happened to me on the way home.
Was behind a cop at the lights, and as we take off everyone does the sit 10-15 below cause he's there, but i figure as long as you behave yourself what's the problem? so i move into the middle and end up unlongside him as we go down a hill into an 80 zone where its real easy to speed, so i'm keeping a good eye on the speedo, keeping it bang on the limit. (Roseville Bridge for those of you who know it.) The cop starts pacing me exactly alongside, door handle to door handle, and a bloke in a fuego with mags gets a little uncomfortable being out in front and drops back level on my left.
So we're line abreast going over the bridge and up the hill, and as amusing as this is i'm over being sandwiched, so i slow down right on the 70 signs and drop back a little on them. Soon after this, the cop comes back alongside, then behind, so i'm spot on 70 now.
Another couple of clicks up the rd he's right alongside again, so i leave my lane change and left turn down the wakehurst parkway a little late thinking i'd shake him, but he sudddenly decides he needs to turn here too, jumps 3 lanes to do it, and pulls up alongside me at the lights.
This is pissing me off by now cause he's not being so subtle about it, and my car is completely standard from the outside, so why's he onto me? We're several back when the lights go green and it merges from 2 to 1 lane right after the lights, everyone does the standard 1 for 1 thing, and i'm there indicating, he leaves me not quite enough room, then squirts it up alongside and squeezes me out!
He's acting like an arrogant prick, so i give him the horn for a second or so to let him know what i'm thinking, then settle in thinking its done. We get to the bottom of the hill where there's room and he throws the lights on and waves me over, gets me out of the car, and goes, "you got a problem mate? whats with the attitude?"
I thought i replied reasonably politely, "road etiquette? I thought we would've merged like any other courteous roadusers, was my indicator not working?"
"You should be careful, that attitude will get you in a lot of trouble one day"
taking that as a veiled threat, i said, "was it my imagination or have you been following me since eastern valley way?"
He then tells me how i should change my driving habits to be a better roaduser, and i have a hard time not telling him the same thing, but just bite my tongue and go get back in my car.
I don't know about this vehicle register, and i probably didn't help the situation with the horn, but i sure as hell didn't do anything wrong, and he never said why he pulled me over. I've got my share of speeding tickets, but nothing for a while, and all before i changed plates. Incidently one of those tickets was on the parkway from an undercover. I was doing a bit under 100, 15 over, when this magna catches up and jams right up my arse. Wanting to get a little room between myself and this lunatic, (there's nowhere he can overtake), i punch it up to 120 and he throws on the lights. Not saying i didn't deserve that one, but i would've only been over half as much if he hadn't tailgated me.
But what do you do?

I'm pretty sure the Newcastle police keep a register, once my mate got pulled over for doing 50? 60? something like that at the tugs (40 zone) and after the cop grills him a bit he says 'I see you haven't been noted in our little book, I'll let you off with a warning this time' or something to that effect.

Sometimes when I pull into my driveway at night, about 5 minutes later a cop car goes past... Kinda freaky huh
And i'm sure they have a VOI list here in SA, the KE70 we have often prompted cops to turn around and follow it. The cops always went out of their way to follow it, which pissed me off to no end.
The frequency of cops annoying me has lowered a lot now, probably because my XX isnt ricey looking, it just has a nice exhaust and the sound of turbos

Hey Peeack that story didnt hapen to be about me did it??
But here in newcastle there is a list, i have been pulled over for supposedly speeding, but he let me off for bald tyres, and finishes with, "your car has been added to our list, so you had better watch how you drive from now on".
1 week later i got pulled over by a HWP car because apparently i had a BOV.. I replied with no i dont, i have a factory plumback and the car is fully engineered. He said dont bother telling that to me, tell the RTA. I was then made to follow him to the Carrington RTA (PITS) where i got fkd over for having excessive movement in the steering rack, and got hit with a nice little RED sticker!
I dont want to paint all police with the same brush... but for fk sake, sometimes they just take things too far, im never rude to them, if i was doin something wrong i wouldnt have minded the fines etc, but i was driving like miss fkn daisy.
Why dont the old timers in their Datto 1200's, or the bogans in their VC commodores gets fkd over?? I spend good $$ on keeping my car in good condition...
regards,
Andrew

I know that the bastards are gonna pick on me soon... I have no BOV at all, but the 1G-GTE tends to make a nice BOV like sound anyway! I'm sure they'll find excuses to screw me over more and more, simply because i'm a hoon in my japanese car

I have had sketchy cops pull me over twice on Warringah Rd.
Once was because i had my foggies on. I was pulling out at some lights and there was a cop car goin the opposite direction. As i turned, he put his lights on and did a u-turn at the lights from the outside lane (accross 6 lanes) completely cutting off another car whom was incidently my friend and almost caused him to run into the traffic lights. Pulled me over and didn't end up charging me with anything but just said look out cause other "tight ass cops" (his exact words) will book you for it.
Second time was in exactly the same spot just opposite the big forestway intersection heading towards chatswood. This time for an RBT and i'd only had like 3 beers over the last 6 hours so i knew i was ok. I indicated to pull out and needed to get accross 3 lanes to turn into forestway when a car goes past (prob speeding) and the cop car pulls off COMPLETELY cuts me off and runs through the red almost causing another accident at the traffic lights.

Look you've probably been dobbed in as a hoon and the copper was just doing his job calling everyone and letting them know to be careful. He's a local cop and he doesn't want any accidents in the area so good on him.
Don't take it personally.

The next time he got pulled over doing something silly, he was told that his car was "known for burnouts and street racing"

LOL
In the rain I was at the top of a steep hill and my car being an auto I just took my foot off the break and accelerator so it was able to stay still. The light goes green and this light stays green for about 3 seconds (literally, it's ok going the other direction but going home sux). I right at the front and I pushed the accelerator all the way in and I had wheel spin for abour 2 of those 3 seconds lol. Would've liked a cop to be there only to find out the car was auto
