Hey all.
Couldn't find a thread on this, if there is one then please point me in the right direction.
Just got pulled over by the cops - Lights, Sirens and all.
This cop starts by saying "Where's the fire" and then says "So, You are used to getting in trouble with the police" <_< What the! ???
Now I generally have a great deal of respect for the police - they are just doing their job but this guy had an attitude and was being a prick.
Aparently I went round the round about too quick. We argued about that for about 5 mins and then he started going over the car.
He was determined to get me for something. He went right over the car - bonnet up and everything. He listed the roll cage and seats and steering wheel etc and I was laughing cos I had plates for everything which made him more angry.
After the girl cop had run my plates and come back to the car she said "let this guy get back home to have his pizza" but noooo he was pissed.
In the end he tells me that the racing harnesses are illegal and that I have to have them removed and that I have to bring the car back to the police station in one week for inspection.
1. Is the Racing Harness illegal if you aren't wearing it? I see rally drivers with them installed all the time on the road. They just push them out of the way and use the normal seat belt on the road.
2. Does he have the authority to ask me to bring the car to a police station for inspection ?
Thanks for any input.
