Damn that is just too much power being given to the cops. Only the courts should have the power to confiscate your car. Didn't they only just introduce car confiscation in Qld last week or so? Sounds like some officer just wanted to try out his new toy!
Update, a friend and I searched the queensland legislation website and no bill has passed allowing a cop to confiscate your car. we have come to the conclusion that it is all BS so far but not to say they won't introduce it in the future. Perhaps go down to your local police station and anonymously ask what the deal is as we can't be 100% sure they are not allowed to confiscate your car. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 5:46 PM Subject: Re: Legal matters > Andrew, > > I thought the confiscation rules were for those racing not just laying a bit > of rubber.
