Intimidating Police Officers / Knowing You Rights in oz - interesting read!

#5580714 - 05/02/06 08:39 AM (20 years, 5 months ago)

Hey just wondering if anyone from Australia knew where I could find some details on my rights when confronting a cop in different circumstances. I haven't studied any law.

What I DO know is the following:

*If you get pulled over by a cop you have the right to record the conversation that occurs between the both of you (as long as you let the officer know you are recording the conversation). Apparently this makes many cops VERY nervous as they have to pick their words and actions very carefully.

*If you get pulled over for speeding by a cop car with a radar you reserve the right to photograph the speed readout (which can often be wrong). Unfortunately speed readings taken with a gun style camera are usually correct.

*Address the officer by his first name. This makes them incredibly uncomfortable. I think that officers normally have a name tag on.

*If you don't know their name address them by rank. In Australia I THINK (not sure it may have changed) 1 stripe = Constable, 2 stripes = Senior Constable, 3 Stripes = Seargent (probably not a good idea to call a constable "cunts" for short although I'm sure that's where the name originated).

And if you really want to piss them off without breaking the law (by the way I haven't tried these myself) :tongue2:

:

*When you are being followed by a cop car get out your license and place it in your ass crack. If you get pulled over wait till the cop comes and asks for it then pull it out (make it look like it's in your back pocket) and give it to him. Ask him if it smells like marijuana (or just if it smells if you're in possession) before he gives it back.

*When he comes to the window press it down like half an inch and proclaim that it's "broken" and wont go down any further. If he goes to the other window to talk to you then while he's talking to you "fix" the broken window. If he comes back to the driver side proclaim that it got "Stuck" again.

*Pretend you're really drunk when you're not

*If you end up in the patrol car and there is no barrier see if you can get ahold of the CB radio. Announce into it "Hello this is officer [insert officers last name] and I would just like to announce that me and my partner are homosexual. If anyone has a problem with this then please consult us personally".

*If it's a male cop pretend you're gay

*Act really shifty and nervous if you know you can't possible be charged for anything. It wastes their time and makes them think twice if they encounter you again.

*Keep a cd in your car of audio pornography (or a porno DVD if you got a dvd player). Play it while talking to the officer with a shifty smirk on your face.

*Try to spark up a conversation about guns and handcuffs. Tell him you prefer the firepower of an automatic glock 17 compared to any beretta (guns are almost completely illegal in Australia). Tell him you'll swap him some pink fluffy handcuffs for his.

*Pretend to have a seizure. Fake foaming pills would be good. If he calls for medical assistance start laughing.

*continously look behind the officer as if someone is making rude gestures behind his back. After he looks and asks what you're looking at, deny everything.

*Answer his questions with more questions

*When he asks for your license insist that he shows you his aswell. Explain that he should prove that he carries a license around too when he drives to set a good example. If you can get him to do it, tell him you just did that so you could find out where he lives.

*keep your window washers faced towards where a cop would stand if he pulled you over. Fill them with urine.

*Chain smoke the whole time he's talking to you (no, not weed).

*Offer him a beer

*Ask him not to look in the glove compartment (unless there really is something incriminating in there). When he look just say "Well I told you not to didn't I? OR keep a note in there saying 'Curiosity Killed The Cop'

Okay I could just keep going on but I gotta go to bed. I just made these all up then - see if you can all add some more. Remember you have to play by their rules so you can't break the (Australian) law. Shrooma :mushroom2:

"[More than] half the people in federal prison are there for drug offences. We're arresting half a million people a year for possessing marijuana. We're locking up kids sometimes for life for their first drug offence. We have no room in our prisons for rapists and child molesters and murderers cause we're filling them up with these non violent drug offenders." - Steven Duke, Yale Law School on 'Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way'
