I was parked up in a carpark chatting to a few mates and showing them my engine bay when the Police pulled in to have a look aswell. They decided to go over the car and try to find defects. When they failed to find any the female officer tells me that im not allowed to have my business sticker on the car because its classed as business advertisement. I thought she was having a lend of me till i realised she was serious. I told her that she was wrong and that she may want to learn the law again. She started to get a little pissed off at this stage and told me that i need paperwork to advertise on my car. I then asked her to take a look at the Police car they were in and said "You have your car marked with what can be classed as a business and then you have the crime stoppers number on it. So do you have your paperwork?" she said she did but when i asked to see it she decided to say that they don't need it. She decided to call the traffic branch to check. She made about 5 calls and then left without saying anything. Has anyone else had this sort of thing told to them?

When was crime stoppers and the QPD classified as a business? She maybe have confused it with "for sale sign" sticker on the car. You need a road worthy certificate when you advertise the car for sale. Yeah i suppose your right its more of an organized crime then a business. And no i told her that its a business sticker not a forsale sticker. She said she knows that and said shes not dumb. |

Also as 45SET said she was probably confused with having your car advertised for sale and she may have meant you need a RWC. |

You need a road worthy certificate when you advertise the car for sale. 1st sentence is irrelevant as OP was showing the cop the stupidity of her claim. 2nd sentence is redundant given OP explained she was in no doubt of it being a sticker for business and not for sale sticker on the car and had it been thus I'm sure a fail to display safety certificate TIN would be forthcoming.

Well that would make OP's claim even more stupid by claiming that QPD & crime stoppers are a business... when they aren't, they are there to serve the general public as a government organisation. As my comment said, maybe she confused the 2 (Business sticker and for sale sticker). You also don't think that maybe she didn't want to be proven wrong by the OP, that's why she was sticking to her guns, and then drove off without a fuss when obviously being told that she was wrong by the traffic branch. Don't really see why you tried to pick my post apart and tell me everything I saw was wrong... but anyway... good work |

No did not fail that at all. Matter of fact there's three sides to every story. This instance: OP's side Cop's side And what actually took place. So its probably not wise to blindly take OP story as fact, yeah? Not saying he is or isn't lieing but a few different words here and there can mean a totally different thing took place. |

No... clarify points and if you're ok with your view on it then my comments should not make you alter from how you view this. The part I bolded is quite accurate and the conclusion that is extremely likely. End of the day,she BS'd the OP with her claim OP had breached some undisclosed by her law and it didn't pan out how perhaps she'd envisaged and left with OP not being written up so his original point holds true. Why pick apart his post? Can't see why you'd do that either. |
