So, a rozza enters my home...

If you aint got em, it aint legal... simple, really....

I have got them, so explain the legalities of a wof/rego checkpoint.
Seriously, I would like to know.

If your car does not have a current warrant of fitness or registration label, that is against the law. (ie = illegal).

Cars being used on any road, should have a current warrant of fitness, to show that it is capable of being used on such roads and is safe to be there. Warrants last for 6 months if vehicle is older than 5 years old. If new, or p to 5 years old, they last for 1 year.

Registrations are mostly made up of ACC premiums, in case you or yours are involved in a crash, for example.

If cars do not have these, the user can expect a ticket, or sometimes two if really deserving. If the vehicle is a real piece of shit, it can also get a really staunch looking pink sticker slapped onto the windscreen (or a green one if it isn't too bad...).

But I am sure you knew this already...

You have em?

"Carry on, have a nice day, good on ya mate, nothing to see here, then...." No quota = no donut...

You are very good with the obvious.

How is a cop able to stop me on a suburban street (when I'm going about my business in a lawful manner), and say "...just checking warrants and rego's today."???

Usually by putting on the red and blues. Some times, a short burst of the siren helps...

If I was a suspicious bloke, I'd say you were obfuscating...


No, lights and sirens not required.
It was a Gendarme standing in the middle of the road with a clipboard.
A clipboard imbues a man with almost supernatural powers.

Enabling random stopping for Breath Testing was a step on the slippery slope.
Now you see checkpoints for WOF's and rego - how can that be legal?

So how many times have you been pulled up for any of the above reasons??

ME? - about 5-6 times in the last twenty years.

(and no, I wasn't ALWAYS in this job and no, I don't have a secret "don't stop me and check my breath/WOF/rego" wave either)

Why does the number of times matter?
As far as I was aware, the only time you may be randomly stopped on the road is for a properly constituted breath alcohol test.

I must be right, as it's caused the fuzz on the board to go into a lather of obfuscation...

Anywhere, anytime to check if everything is up to WOF standard.

So how does this not breach Section 4 of the Bill of Rights...?

Oh yeah... that works too. Ignore it at your peril... but supernatural powers? That must be because he is wearing a uniform, because that makes em invincible and undefeatable... Its that, or the donut dust....

Drivers shouldn't be stopped to see if their car is roadworthy?

Drivers shouldn't be stopped to see if they have a current drivers licence?

Funny world you live in......

It wouldn't be, if it is for a check to see if the spare tyre is secured properly....

Apparently it makes them unable to get to the point, either.
Exactly how is this semi-supernatural being able to stop me going about my lawful business?

I am fairly sure its acually in the donut dust.

Don't you know ....... ?

or is a rhetoric question?

I reckon they're gonna play with you for a while. You seem to enjoy it

So you'll be checking ID's on the street now?
Actually that's a good question - do cops actually get out of their cars these days?.
