[JimO]

I know, but how the hell are we going to keep this site going if we dont "get stuck in" to these conversations.

I never saw it tonight. What happened? In fact I dont belive I saw it last time it aired? I dont watch a lot of TV. Can you provide a link?

Not you Mully, I dont want any link you would provide

What happened???????????????

[scumdog]

You would also wonder how stoopid he was to 'earn' $9,000+ worth of fines...

[FJRider]

Was he not pulled over initially for "wrong class of licence" ... ??? bike registered in HIS name ... with all those existing fines ...

Stoopid may just cover it ...

Don't do it. I'm watching....

[Waxxa]

no-one should be allowed to rack up so much in fines. It becomes a figure that becomes too big to pay, so why bother?

The authorities should set a limit (e.g. $2000) before action is taken...

Like confiscating the bike to sell and pay their fines..?

[Mad-V2]

Jeez you fallas are a bunch of hard asses! The police should never have the power to come to your house and take your bike because of fines. Community work or loss of license for those that don't pay is fair enough, but you can easily break the law and get tickets on anything with wheels these days. All confiscation will do is create even more animosity toward police.
What if I had a bike worth $1000 and my fines totaled $5000? would you take my bike and then make me pay the rest?
I think that if you haven't setup at least a time payment by the time you receive your final notice, you get suspended or comminity work for a period of time long enough to pay the lot off.

Quite right, waste of police resources, they should have a dept just for this.

Community work or loss of license for those that don't pay is fair enough

But achieves nothing

but you can easily break the law and get tickets on anything with wheels these days

Nothing has changed then.

Only from fuckwits who don't pay their fines, so no nothing has changes their either.

No, I would take your TV/Stereo/PlayStation as well. If after all that it's still not enough, then yes.

I think that if you haven't setup at least a time payment by the time you receive your final notice, you get suspended or comminity work for a period of time long enough to pay the lot off.

If you haven't setup a payment schedule by that stage, you're a defaulter and unlikely to pay in any case.

These people get plenty of warnings, and thus deserve all they get.
