Ballarat Swap Meet

[rossie]

just thought l'd let use know it went well, i think (alot to drink), there were a few beddies there, a couple of campers and a couple of lwb.one being mine. there was a mat black one on a trailor for sale, the asking price was $8500, hot 6 and 4 speed, body rough (no hope of getting it).
 On enother topic there. the police and sheriff's were out in forse, clamping cars for out standing fines and for not paying maitanance, they would drive around scanning all number plates, yes all plates, if you registed you were clamped, $220 to get the clamp of after you paid half the fine and worked out a payment system for the rest. may be thats fair enough, but i think there is a time and place, it was funny watching people running around covering there number plates ( lets make it stand out ). one bloke two sites up from me wasn't to fussed when they pinched him for a fine he didn't even know he had (1998 )$800 and something, take the penltys and court cost off for soe amnesty they got going, toke it to $195 and don't forget to ad the $220 for the clamp you just watched them put on.
 all in all a good week end and i'll be back next year, same site

wot a %#@@ of an act,that in my opinion is pretty damn low. . or maybe they are tryin to get it to lose customers. . either way its a pretty scummy way to raise revenue which im sure it is... so watch out next years melb cup or royal show... bet every state takes it on now. skippy says tch,tch,tch,tch! ( meaning i would not be allowed to put wot i think in english)

Just remembered about a couple of beddies at Stawell l was told about, one good and one for parts. Going to chase him up next week

[hotrod]

personally I have nothing against it. If you do the crime pay the fine, don't wait for them to find you!

[Marky]

The police force is now even more  just a Revenue collector for the government!!

Not much doing about crime just collecting monies from the people its meant to serve

[rossie]

to be fair, it was the sheriff department and alot of them and l mean alot and every one they harrased had a warrent for money they owed, so l think it would pay to pay money they owe

Often it's for stuff you might not know about.

I got pulled up by mr plod a few years ago and they were trying out there new wizbang computa - seems I had outsanding warrants (possibly from the sheriffs dept), for what I don't know mr plod said yeah thats common.

While I was standing there talking to them a crash occured 100 meters up the road, they wanted to continue with "proccessing" me, but I suggested they had more important things to do, eventually they agreed and left me alone.

Still haven't found out what that was all about........maybe I should.
