Caught on Tape....Oh Dear:(
Moderator: Bonez
When I read the sensationalist headlines and saw a glimpse of the video on the TV news...I kinda thought to myself that it wasnt so smart. But now it has all been placed in context I would have to agree that its not even newsworthy.. do journalists investigate anything before they publish these days?
I just saw the footage on ch10 whilst watch Sandra Sully.
They made a comment that "WA police reckon the footage is up to 4 years old"
What a load of crap...it's a later Series 2 VZ with the newer callsign font...It was taken either late last year of this year, I'd be more inclined to say 2007 footage.

Police investigate hoon video
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22 ... 77,00.html
IMHO, it's being blown out of all proportion by the media.
"No sir, we weren't hooning. At the time of the video we were attempting to pull over a speeding rabbit"

It was clearly private property.rambler318 wrote:I wonder if they will impound the car for 48hrs?
I could put lights and sirens on my car and do bog laps in my back yard too. (I've got heaps of space!) The neighbours might complain about the noise and dust but the police couldn't charge me with anything because it's my own private property.
I think the issue for the police is more one of "should fully marked police cars be seen doing that sort of thing" rather than "doing doughnuts in a paddock is illegal".
