VIC: Highway patrol officer Pettett

Post by Taz »

Have never heard anything about this officer anywhere, but it seems over the past few days when a guy got a defect for running 'fog lights' during the daytime (when infact they were DRL(daytime running lights) that cannot be turned off) it all blew up and apparently Pettett is well known for his harassment of modified or imported cars.

Heres an article from the news/pettetts side

Heres the newly created FB page specifically targeting him :lol:

Out of sheer curiosity, has anyone here ever met/been fined by this 'upstanding victorian police officer'?
Any amusing stories to share? Want to see if any of this holds true, and if so - will anything be done about it?

each to his own Matt.

defect for illegal mods are fair enough, those are the risks u take when you put them in. But defecting for factory equipment is kinda stupid.

Apparently a few people have been pulled over in their stock Toyota 86 with him trying to give defects. Are other countries this retarded when it comes to giving defects for cars?

Blah blah it's a disgrace what people were saying about him. A typical 1 sided news report not mentioning the things that the officer has done to people, instead just saying what things the page has on it.

And then some old police officer starts blaming Facebook itself for the page, and how Facebook "should have never let it happened". I don't think he knows how the Internet works...

After reading that article, it leads me to one conclusion.

Neil Mitchell is a muppet.
'nuff said.
