The coppers havent gat a smacking clue on PR
Aug 10^th, 2014 at 7:27pm

One for Red Baron

My son has temporarily moved across town about 20Km away from our home.

He was pulled up yesterday for a RBT.

No dramas in that, he passed OK but apparently the copper wants to know his address and he says where he is currently living. He then gets threatened with a fine for not changing his address!

Now WTF are the coppers wanting to know his address unless there is some issue like he has failed the RBT and then they are heavying him?

I suspect they have no right to even ask his address in this situation!

Red can you enlighten me!!

I should add this left him all stressed out about getting fined!!

That question is too complicated for Red Baron. He will have to wait for a week for a script. Coppers still use typewriters.

People forget to update their address on their license. There are one or two things that the police are always entitled to ask and you are compelled by law to answer. Your name is one of them. Not sure about address.

For how long? Beyond a certain time limit you have to do so. Don't know how long in Victoria.

They might night give any special permission to drive around without an up to date licence.

you should worry about it. It's smacking terrifying, unless you're technologically-retarded. But that belongs to another thread.

Hear hear! Dunno what they do in Vic, but a copper mate tells stories about how his copper mates (who knew?) "yellow sticker" cars where the owner gives them cheek, and the poor buggers have to pay to have it put over the pits. Comes up to about $500 apparently. And of course, there's nothing you can do about it.

They wouldn't be able to demand your address without a valid reason, i.e. they suspect that you've done something illegal.

However, you'd be foolish not to answer them, even if you've done nothing wrong. Why look for trouble?

Funny how so many of these sayings are nothing but bullsh1t cop-outs. Like this one. Another is the old, 'If you've nothing to hide...' etc.
