Ok who would run

[k14]

Ohh, damn. Well i was slightly misinformed/nieve!!

How do you find out then??

Sorry mate,after having worked in the industry for several years I can tell you from first hand experiance you are so wrong.
Give me your full name and I will tell you more about yourself than you would ever belive possible,in under an hour.
The freedom of information act does not cover what you are talking about,Sorry but your criminal history is public record not private.
All a person needs is to be accredited in any number of fields and you are an open book.Sorry

I wasn't going to say anything about this due to being seen as argumentative . Having worked in the banking industry for nigh on 8 years and in the insurance industry - JR is right. I can even go in to the LSTA and change your car registration to my name online without leaving my desk. I can find out any court judgements etc if finalised and so on......all without moving from my desk. Certain items require privacy signoffs - others don't.

Scary thought really - but you need to make sure you read your privacy disclaimers - as you would be surprised the powers that you can sign to the person who is collecting the information. Also - certain information you are talking about here is NOT covered by the PA at all.

Yep,Wkid is right.
When I first started my training I was completly blown away by how much info' is available.Your bank accounts are fairly safe and belive it or not if you are on any sort of payment or loan from Winz,That info' is safe.
If you read the fine print when you sign for insurance you will see you are giving permission for the company to check you out.
The same goes for most job applications,Pretty standard now days.

Damn skippy - I have been involved in writing the disclaimers in my previous job......you quite often don't know what you are signing away when you sign a form.....take a mortgage for example - you are often giving a bank permission to credit check you, ring your employer etc etc etc.

Banks and INsurance companies are particularly good at this - as they work on information

Have done,still would if I think I can get away it.Last time was about 12 months ago,doing a 200+kph wheelie on the southern m/way(on my ZX12);you don't have much to lose trying to get away,they crucify you anyway......

Alright I got to admit now days I take a pretty dim view of people running from the law.But that don,t mean I hav,nt done so in the past,Ok ok I know what that means, but I was younger then and it seemed like a good idea at the time.Now I would think very hard about it before doing something like that again.Both times I did it in the past I was going hard when a cop stepped
out on the road an waved,so I didn,t run as such, I just didn,t see em, an kept going,I mean a 750/4 ain,t going to catch a GT750 with a 100mph head start,an a Holden kingswood ain,t going to catch anything full stop,So I wasn,t really running ya, see.Today things have changed,some of those cop cars can really honk,so things ain,t over before things go bad.
At one time if you got the jump on em, they stood no chance.
Not today,Aye

Never have and never will...
