Here in Australia isn’t like here in America 😂 we don’t sue everything that moves and we don’t harp on about amendment rights. She opened his door because she needed to. Here in Australia we just get shit done and for the most part, it works 😂 oh and absolutely she would have had a gun.
Unfortunately we've been infected with Murdoch media's US politics and now have a bunch RWNJs ranting about having to be courteous or considerate of others by getting vaccinated, wearing masks or isolating. UnAustralian fecks whinging about their amendments rights while living in Australia their whole lives - completely brainwashed into thinking they're in the USA.
Yup, US seems to forget that their time is a valuable asset too. Hardly "free" if you spend half your life fighting authorities instead of going to the beach!
Bald tyres mean no grip on the road especially when wet = accident. No exhaust means carbon monoxide can leak into vehicle resulting in the driver becoming unconscious = accident. The US is crazy if these things are not illegal.
Maybe they are illegal but Indiana (and some other states) police just don't generally enforce it by conducting roadworthy checks when they pull up drivers. If so that's crazy in itself and alarmingly irresponsible, putting people's lives at risk by defective vehicles that are accidents waiting to happen. (Having said that, I wouldn't be all that surprised if Ryan's just got this wrong...)
I'm old enough to remember when Qld didn't do rego checks on cars, so it was the state where old cars went to die when they failed roadworthys in other states (especially neighbouring NSW). The US is just a few decades (or more) behind Australia in terms of regulations, especially anything safety or rights related (yes they claim to have freedom/rights, but don't actually have worker rights etc)
I have no quarms about our laws getting unroadworthy vehicles off the road. If this idiots tyres had blown innocent people could be harmed or worst still killed. The safety of my wife and kids comes first before idiots who put their rights before the law
Exactly. I hate that we've been infected by an increasing number of Freedumbers thanks to Murdoch media propaganda. Putting your petty wants above the health and safety of others is one of the most unAussie things you can do.
Yep and as the victim of a serious road trauma (broke my brain and paraplegic)…. Cars should be roadworthy. Life changes in a split second and it’s horrible. The driver at fault walked away with no injuries.
My last interaction with a police officer here in Australia pulled me over for speeding, then conversed with me about my life as I started crying and wanted to know if I was ok. Let me off without giving me a ticket. I went to my car to leave but my battery was flat so he drove me home to get my battery jump starter then drove me back to my car and jump started my car. What a nice cop!
"Constable" is a rank used in Australia's police forces, part of our British heritage. Think of it as being about the same as 'Patrolman" in the US. This guy was being a complete smart-@$$, which is idiotic, and props to the police officer for keeping it professional.
Australians (and most other civilised countries) have a much better relationship with police than Americans do. They are held to a much higher standard and are nit as “gun happy” as American cops need to be as 99.99% of our population don’t carry weapons, so they don’t need to enter every interaction as though they might be shot.
@@dallasgrant oh so the footage I watched on TV and the cop who got stood down in Victoria for slamming that person to the ground is all bs ...ok mate good for you dopey 👍
nits are gun happy? I know it's a typo, but couldn't resist after recently watching a video about an Aussie vegan who was refusing to unalive the nits in her daughter's hair, instead combing them out onto the lawn so they could survive. I hope those nits weren't armed!
@@ACDZ123no, but if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Police have a tough job dealing with losers who think they can just do whatever they want. Sometimes they break, and take it way too far, just like everybody else.
@@ACDZ123 Just like there are bound to be a few rogue cops, there are bound to be people like you who resent police. Thank god the are very much in the minority.
Most Aussies don't have guns, consequently our police are not in fear of their lives when they make contact with the public.Providing you haven't a long list of priors, you have no reason to be concerned.
Love our Aussie cops. They are usually approachable, mostly fair, and more often than not have a sense of humour. Jnr Constable Callum lives in our town, and he's loved and respected by one and all.
@@jslasher1Many years ago I was pulled up for speeding for the very first and only time. The policeman asked me why I was speeding (keep in mind I have never had this experience before.) I said and I quote. Because I didn’t know you were on the road. He laughed so much he still gave me a ticket but he dropped the speed a little so it was not as much of a fine. I was good because I was speeding.
When she put the sticker in the window, she didn't search his car. All she did was stick the sticker to his window. Cops are also allowed to stop unsafe cars on the road. we don't shoot people at traffic stops here either.
Sherriffs here are officers of the Court rather than part of the police service. They are in control of the bailiffs and are similar to the US Marshall Service, but for State matters.
If there was probable cause for a search of the car, due to possession of drugs or guns, every constable has the right in Australia to search and seize said items. She was mainly concerned about the driver's and the communities safety if this car could cause an accident and kill himself or other users on the roads. There is only one thing an Aussie Cop usually looks for at a road stop. Does the person pass the 'attitude' test, and a bad attitude by the driver would have produced a vastly different outcome.
I'm surprised she doesn't give the bloke a breath test though. I thought that was pretty standard at any type of police stop. Unless they're just letting you know your Macca's is sitting on the roof of the vehicle!@@skippymaster57
@neumanmachine3781 police are state and federally funded. We don't have any elected positions within our police services. Only moron politicians are elected in this country.
If you grow up in a smaller city/town, you know them off the clock - sometimes catch 'em down at the pub. They're neighbours and friends and when you need help, usually they're good for a call. Sure, there's some cunts in the bunch, but for the most part they're just people doing a job, trying to keep us and themselves safe.
Only issues I had was when I was around 18 and had long, coloured hair (this was around 2000-2002). Always got pulled over. Always. But! they were always respectful to me, I was always respectful to them (have family who were cops), so there was never a real problem. If I had been a smart arse to them, then maybe, but otherwise nah.
You would be staggered by the total lack of roadworthiness that US vehicles display while being "LEGAL" to drive. 20 odd years ago on a work trip to Omaha (from Oz) I was told by my taxi driver to be careful of the rust hole in the floor. Scarey.
In the UK we have a yearly MOT to make sure it's roadworthy. My cousin lives in Florida and there's nothing like it. Wrecks driving about, bits of cars and blown tyres all over the roads too 😂😂
@@101steel4 Most Aussies states have something similar, but it's at a state not national level. South Australia, where I live, does not have mandatory inspections for light vehicles. Every so often they try and bring it in and the RAA trot out the stats. Basically, the accident rate in S.A. where the condition of the vehicle caused or contributed to the accident is LOWER in S.A. where there are no annual inspections (but every time you get pulled for a random breath test the cops check the car for obvious defects) than in N.S.W. where they have mandatory annuals. I suspect that it's because by the time the vehicle is worn out to the degree it has safety issues, it probably doesn't go or has expensive mechanical issues and is off the road anyway. Victoria split the difference, you only have to get it inspected when it changes owners. Consider that we don't salt our roads, so very old vehicles are often drivng way past the date they would be in the UK. I'm still driving a 1995 Ssangyong Musso, and it has no rust at all. Ditto for the 1990 Toyota Commuter (HiAce basically) my wife uses to ferry the grandkids to school for their non driving parents. We get pulled for Random Drug/Alcohol tests probably several times a year on average, so they always look at the tyres, check the front seat belts retract properly, all the lights and indicators work and look for obvious signs of serious rust or damage. What most people get pinged for is tyres with insufficient tread. In S.A. they will give you a defect notice and you can't drive the vehicle except to take it home, then to get the defect remedied. Then you go to the Police station and have to pay $57 for a cop to look at it and remove the defect sticker. Some defects (seat belts, exhaust, rust, steering or suspension issues) require you to take it for a full inspection with a nearly $400 fee to get the defect lifted. Naturally they look at EVERYTHING so you need to be confident the car is good before you take it in, or they'll refuse to remove the defect and slap you with more things to fix. IIRC you get one free return visit if it didn't pass the first one, then you have to pay another fee.
In my legal experience, I can tell you in Australia you can stop and search a vehicle for a number of reasons, and she can open the door. I am actually surprised they didn't drug test him, or check for drink driving.
@@aussiebattler7789 I am a lawyer. It is not always the case. You don't need to be breath tested, or drug tested, if there is cause to pull someone over. IN this instance there was due to a defect of the car
Good work, Constable. Keep dangerous vehicles off the road and the idiots driving them. One again ..Australia is about community benefit, USA about their 'rights' of an indiviidual even when harmful to others.
no, it's about my "right" as an individual to be out in public, driving on roads, walking along footpaths etc & not having to worry that some duck in his roadworthy car is going to unalive me because he doesn't give a proverbial! We have WAY more individual rights than the US because of how we value our rights to safety in all settings & what that means as far as everyone needing to do their bit to not endanger others with reckless & selfish behaviours. Yes, you are right in what you say, but those destroying life in the US use comments like yours as "proof" we're "communist" & don't care about individual rights, rather than recognising what "rights" actually matter if you want to live a long, happy life. Our life expectancy is around 10 years longer than the US, because we have better rights all round. The "right to be safe" and live is the ultimate individual right in life!
@@mehere8038 That was a bit over the top, don't you think? There was nothing "communist" in what she said. Americans think that just because they got away with not hurting anyone then all's fair, whereas here in Australia, we get idiots off the road before something untoward happens. This was her meaning and intention and TBH, it made perfect sense with what and how she said it.
@@utha2665 of course it's over the top & of course we're not communist, we're more socialist than the US, but they are totally different things, but the far right over there dont' seem to grasp that. I'm just saying that in my experience, mention "community benefit" to that US group that are the ones objecting to things like putting a hand inside a vehicle to put a sticker on it, or checking roadworthyness & they will immediately jump on the "communist" bandwagon & rant about how we have no freedoms in Australia & are under "dictatorship lockdowns" etc etc, but mention instead that we demand the right to be safe & freedom to engage in everyday activities without risking dying & it throws them, cause in reality, they're just reciting right wing media talking points & don't actually understand the issues at all. We do have some of these fools in Australia too & talking "community" just sets them off, they're only interested in their personal rights, so just respond to how their rights are infringed on if they risk death from someone else's stupidity & it tends to get them on the same page as the rest of us, without them feeling like they've had to compromise their own beliefs to get there. Meeting those with different views to us half way/finding common ground is always more productive than confrontation & increasing the divide. We don't even have to compromise on what we want in our society, just in how we present it to those who want to make everything about their personal rights
@@mehere8038 Only one communist has ever been elected to the house of representatives in Australia. Just after WW2 , so communism and communists barely exist as a viable political entity in Australia.
@@grantadam7674 my comment has nothing to do with reality though, it has to do with how extremists think. As far as they are concerned, the Greens & most Labor policies are "communist". Things like universal health care, free education, maternity leave etc are all "communist" in their eyes. Also, there is no need for "communist" to be in a name to make it so, I wonder if the "communist" elected here was even an actual "communist". The German "National socialist party" certainly weren't "socialists" & our "Liberal party" is certainly not "Liberal" is it, nor does "One Nation" truly support unity & every citizen being considered a part of "one nation", same with the "United Australia party" & it's "make Australia great again" policies, or how about the so called "Informed Medical Options Party" that actually believe that vacines are a huge conspiracy & viruses don't exist & that basically it should be illegal to share positive information about vacines, or in short, the entire party is based on an anti-vax agenda, but I'm sure their deceptive name got them more than a few votes from people who would never knowingly vote for a party that's sole purpose is to promote vaccine conspiracy theories (and of course throw in the 5G & fluoride in the water, WHO & UN controlling everyone conspiracies - they want Australia to fully withdraw from the latter 2 & also want all non-organic farms shut down, but also want windmills & solar shut down cause they think they're harmful to everyone's health too & want everyone "informed" of those dangers) No sane person believes Australia has any hints of communism in it. I'm just sharing what I've found to be most effective when in a discussion with the insane
Most Australian Police do car checks to make sure they are road worthy. People get angry but the fact is it saves lives. Keep your car in a safe condition and then you’ll have nothing to complain about.
And this is why we all like living in Australia. We have had a few police shootings in recent times, some of which being very questionable as to if they were justified, but our police spend 3 years at the police academy training in policing, including de-escalation & community relations, before they hit the streets, so we feel quite comfortable around them & know we're not actually going to get shot or anything we need to worry about. You'll actually notice her bigger focus is how close this guy is to the road & other traffic, that's why she orders him back into the car, to keep him safe, cause that's her main job as a police officer, to ensure the protection & safety of everyone in the community. She would have a gun btw, but our police are only allowed to unholster their gun in a life threatening situation, where they are imminently intending on shooting someone with it, otherwise, we don't see their guns. They don't need to pull them out, they're trained to handle situations with their voices, not violence
@@leopoldpoppenberger8692 Unsurprisingly that one incident over 6 months ago is still in the news and he's been charged and is going through the court process. Obviously she was also a dementia patient who refused to drop the knife (that she had previously thrown at nursing home staff staff) that was why the police were called, but that's no excuse given they could clearly have waited her out instead of being impatient. In the US that's a standard Tuesday before breakfast and the police wouldn't be charged.
In Aus your exhaust outlet has to be a certain distance from the last open passenger window in the vehicle so you cant get effected by carbon monoxide gases. People call police doing their duty revenue raising when they themselves are the ones doing the revenue raising by speeding or like this fool driving unroadworthy vehicles or breaking the road rules , you are the one in charge of the vehicle so you suffer when you break the rules don't cry about it
100% what I say to the habitual speeders who whinge about "revenue raising" speed fines. Then I say "point to your car so I can avoid you on the roads" and that's when they stamp off in a fury :)
The reason why you ask if the police can open the door of a car is because you come from a country which has an unhealthy over emphasis on individual, ‘rights’!
@@longjohn5322bwahaha. My kids don't fear going to school or the supermarket or to church. No drive-by shootings around here. I've never even seen a gun except the ones in police holsters. You keep your govt. I'll keep mine.
Our police do roadworthy checks regularly. They give you a yellow sticker listing the defects and you have a limited time to get it fixed and get it cleared. if you don't you lose your car registration and cannot drive it. You then have to apply to get it registered and that will cost you about another $600 or more.
A park near where I live regularly turns into a car yard after a roadworthy blitz. It always amazes me how many cars they get. I have heard that a couple end up in the crusher.
Got pulled over once for speeding on a lonely stretch of highway and then realised I had lost my wallet with my licence in it. Was so distressed about it that the cop tried to help me remember where I might've lost it. Asked me the last stop I made and I told him it was at the last town about 80 kilometres away. Radioed for assistance and it was confirmed my wallet was at a servo. Escorted me all the way back to town but not without stopping to book another speeding driver. After collecting my wallet at the servo, showed him the licence and was given a ticket. Bless his heart.
That yellow sticker is called a Canary, and you can not drive the car except to the repairer. You can get one for smoking exhausts, brakes, broken lights, no signals, bald tyres, broken windows, etc... You have to keep your car in a roadworthy condition, and if it is not roadworthy, your registration can be cancelled. A full roadworthy includes the car going over a pit to check the underside, brake fluid, wipers, you name it.
Basically, I think this illustrates the generally positive relationship between Australian police and citizens. Laws are tougher here, and fewer freedoms are guaranteed, perhaps because the first settlers were convicts and the stae evolved to monitor and control them. Today, however, most of us are happy with our police force. I have only had half a dozen encounters with them over many decadescandcalways found them helpful courteous and good tempered even when they do have to fine you. The realtionship is perhaps more relaxed because police very rarely have to worry about being shot, and so can be a bit more relaxed and casual with citizens.
@@andersrefstad8235I don't think the education aspect can be understated. It takes years for police to qualify for duty here. I think in the states it's maybe a couple of months.
@@johnl6176 I knowe that EMT "education" is a 120 hr. cource to qalefy in USA. Norway is 4 years full time education. AFAIK Police here is 3 years higher education. "Prison guard" is 2 years i think. (This is entrylevel). Theyr whole schoolsystem seems to be failing...
@@johnl6176 In the US it varies from state to state, and from department to department (remember that the United States have over 18 000 law enforcement agencies and Australia has 8 - one for each state and territory, and the AFP). As a friend of mine told me, whenever you're talking about issues within the United States remember that as far as Americans are concerned the emphasis is on 'states' rather than 'united'.
We don't have people fighting and arguing about our rights here, we just get shit over with, pay the bill and move on. Not too many Karens here, we're a pretty peaceful lot. We're pretty respectful to cops and they are pretty much just doing their job.
We DO insist on rights that actually matter though & will absolutely fight for those if needbe! Government & authorities know it though & tend to avoid the confrontation where possible. They also know we will happily switch parties & vote them out if they fail to respect our rights. In the US, they're encouraged to fight over trivial rights that don't matter, at an individual level, so as to keep them busy & stop them uniting & demanding rights that would actually put the people in control of their country. Divide & conquer
@@mehere8038 Oh, yes, this absolutely. When something isn't right and fair and is just plain dumb, you know we'll pull up and call it out. We're not afraid to let our voices be heard, we're just sensible about shit that could be deadly.
Australian Police have the authority to conduct Random Vehicle Inspections, in addition to Random Drug/Alcohol Screening and Licence Checks, and by getting behind the wheel you are implicitly agreeing to these checks under Australian Road Rules. And while they're conducting one of those checks, they may observe other things that warrant their attention.
The word "cop" was actually originally an acronym COP meaning Constable On Patrol and I think it originated in the UK (as that's where Australia got that rank from).
"The term copper was the original word, used in Britain to mean "someone who captures". In British English, the term cop is recorded (Shorter Oxford Dictionary) in the sense of 'to capture' from 1704, derived from the Latin capere via the Old French caper.The OED suggests that "copper" is from "cop" in this sense, but adds that the derivation is uncertain. Many imaginative, but incorrect stories have come up over the years, including that cop refers to the police uniform's copper buttons, the police man's copper badge, or that it is an abbreviation for "constable on patrol", "constabulary of police", or "chief of police"."
The Aussie psyche is do what is best to protect yourself and others. So we accept a lot of protective measures that would not fit with the American psyche.
I got pulled over one day while on my way home. It was a drink driving check. He asked me when i had last had a drink. Told him about 3 years ago. He deadpan said , bloody hell you will be thirsty then 😂😂. So funny
Similarly, I was asked when I had my last drink. I replied that I hoped I hadn't had it. I didn't have any 'onboard' so I felt it was ok to be a little cheeky.
A cop in Aus. will check the general condition of your car EVERY time they pull you over (if there's anything obvious to them). A poorly maintained vehicle can be a danger to the driver, the passengers, and the general public. Having said that, most cops, the vast majority, come to work with a sense of humour, the best way to deal with them is with a polite joke and familiarity. It would be a real culture shock if we went to the U.S. and treated cops this way.
Yes the cops in Aussie and in New Zealand do have the authority to fully inspect the car if they suspect it to be unroadworthy. And if it is unroadworthy they'll ticket you and sticker the car, and if the condition of the car is bad enough they'll make you get it towed from there.
Let's face it we live in a place where we don't have to worry about being shot.thank god we live in Australia 🐕🐕🐕 you couldn't possibly get me to even holiday in America yuk yuk yuk. 🐕🐕🐕🐕
and if they accidentally come across something in the vehicle while doing their lawful vehicle check, you then have further problems.... because that is all totally legal and to be expected in Australia and NZ. She was allowed to open the car to inspect the vehicle, or place the 'banned from the road' sticker on the inside of the windshield. It is prescribed by statutory law in these countries, and they can't be accused of unlawful search, as it is permitted by law there.
I worked with some 21yr old trainee Connie’s, who really didn’t have the maturity and common sense to have a gun, let alone be patrolling the streets. Coppers who join later in life and have life experience are the best! Best one I worked with had been a shearer and joined the job at 28. Love ya Rowan! Happy retirement mate.
@@karenglenn6707I joined at 21 and probably grew up more in my 6 months at the academy than ever before. After 11 years I joined the ambulance service. That was 27 years ago. There was always the odd cop and ambo who I thought wasn't suited to the career.
The worst defect notice and fine I ever saw was about $10,000 and the car was only worth about $2,000. It probably didn't help the muppet driver pissed off the cops so they defected and fined him for everything they could find.
Failed the attitude test. If you're nasty to the cops, expect to get that back in the form of them pinging you for every little thing, including some they'd likely overlook or just warn you about.
A mechanic friend had his 1972 Chrysler Charger defected. He wasn't too sure why. 5:30pm 3rd February 1982: He was heading home after work. He turned off Daws Rd. onto Goodwood Road and just past the corner was a booze bus, doing random breath tests & roadworthiness inspections. They signaled him to stop. Which he did, 50 metres (yards for those from the USA) past the bus. So he switched to reverse, and started back, then coasted to them, stopping at about the right spot. The wheel wells were just about rusted out because he had often used the car on Moana beach. None of his turn indicators worked. All his tyres (including the spare) were down to cloth in places. The steering wheel was held on with a pair of vice-grips. One officer reached in to set the park brake, and the lever came off in his hand. The muffler was in good condition (It had been replaced the previous Christmas, by his Dad) The police insisted that he get it towed home. It sat in the front yard of his house for 6 months until the Marion City Council demanded that he remove the piece of rubbish from his front yard, or they would do it for him & bill him. The car went to landfill the following week. He reckoned that if he'd sold it the week before the defect notice, he would've got about $250 for it. To fix everything would've cost about $2500 & he'd then be able to sell it for approximately $2000. It just wasn't worth his time & effort. He is a bludy good mechanic, but he never did any work on his own car... He's still not sure what it was the defect notice was issued for.
yes..... if you want maximum pain when dealing with police in Australia or NZ, don't cooperate, be a prick, insult the cop, say things like "you can't do that... I study law", or even better, "You should know that my father is XXXX (a well known lawyer) and I am going to report you" and then the cop will charge you with everything he/she can find to test out your brilliant legal skills (hahaha). You will soon learn to cooperate and just get it over..... be polite and comply with directions given by the cop.... it will be the difference between 1 ticket and 6 tickets and your car ordered off the road for you. Don't be the loser. Oh, if you don't sort the problem out and also pay penalties by the specified date, your car gets de-registered..... and that brings further costs to re-register it. And you can't use it while this process is underway.
Oh and by the way here in Qld you can be fined if a police camera catches you or your passengers playing with the seatbelt and yes here in Australia we have wear a seatbelt, we cannot touch our phones and we cannot have defective cars
Ryan, from what I understand the US system for Law Enforcement, upto a state level consists of: City/Town Police (in an incorporated area), the County Sherriff's Department with Deputies and they also manage the country jail/court bailiff, and then the State Police. Australia is different, each state has Police, that's it, the Sherriff is also at a state level, but they manage warrants and property... and Constable is an English word for Officer.
@Amanda-uc5jq I understand that the Federal Police exist, bit didn't want to try to explain the comparison between them and the various alphabet agencies. But for simplicity the Australian Federal Police overlaps with both the FBI and ATF.
Everything she did, was within the rules of Australian law. If the constable had detected alcohol or drugs on the driver, she could also search the car, driver, or passenger(s) for open alcohol or drugs (or other restricted items).
Caveat. Open container of alcohol is not an offence in every state. (I'm in S.A. and it's not an offence in S.A.) But they can just pull anyone over for no reason and do a Random Drug/Alcohol Test and they'll always look the vehicle over for obvious defects (mostly tyres or lights or damage).
The host of this is young(ish) and clearly doesn't have too many life or worldly experiences. He wouldn't say the things he says if he had. Like many Americans, he can't see too far past his own state's borders. Sad really.
Pretty sure they have to fill out a whole heap of paper work if they ever need to just take it out and it’s a false alarm. Why they did and everything like that.
New Zealand and Norway police officers are all trained in firearms but they keep their weapons locked in their car and can only draw them with authorisation. Newfoundland Police in Canada, and Britain's Armed Response Vehicle drivers, followed the same model until about 20 years ago, but now they carry weapons whenever they're on duty.
Happy Arvo Ryan! 😃👍 Funny accent, must be Australian! Low riding Holden, yep! Our Police rankings are Probationary Constable, Senior Constable, Sergeant, Senior Sergeant, Inspector, Commissioner! Do I get paid for this? 😆 He is a real danger to society! 😂
The road toll in the US ( deaths and serious injuries) is staggering. In 2022 it wad around 43k deaths and 1.5 million seriously injured. That a society can just accept that is hard to fathom.
To be fair, they're fine with accepting deaths by other causes without issue so it doesn't surprise me at all. (Guns. Guns is what I'm meaning. Taking out even school shootings, the amount of accidental gun deaths and non-accidental ones is horrifying.)
Ryan FYI I thought you might like to know that magpies have just been voted the most popular animal sound in Australia. Everyone loves the song of magpies but, as you have seen, not so much the swooping. Love your videos.
yeahhhh in Australia we have standards when it comes to operating vehicles on the road. We don't allow the idiotic things that some US states do like massive wide tyres outside the fenders, wheel spacers, straight pipe exhausts, cut off cats and the list goes on (see Whistlin Diesel). We have one state at least where you must do an annual road worthy inspection for cars over a certain age. Its just common sense stuff really. Also....ignore most substitles on the videos you watch, they are terrible and that video was waaaayyyy off. The Police were pullng over a HOLDEN car not a HOLE or a HOG.
In Australia quite a few public services are are organised and funded on a state basis e.g.schools, hospitals, railways and public transport, public works, industrial relations, community services, sport and recreation, consumer affairs, police, prisons and emergency services. There may be some sharing with local and federal government. Advantages of this broader organisation means that there are greater levels of accountability and with state based funding there is greater equity than if it was simply local. e.g schools funding and services are based on the number of students as well as needs based requirements
Also the states have massively varying requirements for the services they need to provide. Imagine having the fed gov in the ACT decide everything about what WA should be doing. They'd have no idea.
All our police carry a gun on patrol also in Australia our cops are treated like any other person when we get pulled over if it's safe (not on a freeway) we can freely get out of the car move round etc its honestly just like talking to any other person.
It's on her left hip as she exits the vehicles. She's left handed when writing documents later on. Victorian Police like her use Smith and Wesson M&P pistols; IIRC about 4 states use Glocks.
Generally Aussie cops can tell you to get on your knees but you actually don't have to. Most cops would not tell you to do that but I'm guessing she was only generalizing when telling him to get on knees lol, not to be taking to seriously. I do love that guys sarcasm 😂
Yeah, I think she was meaning "actually get down and look" not "get on your knees so I can restrain/arrest you". XD He definitely took it the other way. At least he didn't take it the way my cousin's best friend did - by trying to propose to the officer. Sadly, he got a decline and a fine. (He then ended up dating her sister for a few years. I can't imagine what the family meet and greet was like! XDDD )
Highway patrol the show is based out of my town here in Vic. Once when I was about to head into my local woolies to shop I wasn't watching where I was going crossing the parking lot when I smacked into the boom guy and almost knocked over the camera guy too. One of the patrol guys caught me and he asked me if I was drunk and if I needed to go back to station to sleep it off lol.. He was joking of course and everyone laughed including the bogan hoon they pulled over and we're filming at the time. Our cops are pretty funny because, well, their Aussies, that's why!! 😂
Everything the polcie officer did here was quite legal since there is NO positive right to drive nor Drive on the public roads and if you do drive then you MUST abide by both the legislation and regulations (ie: law) There is a difference between searching a vehicle (which only requires reasonable suspicion) and placing a sticker required by legislation that the officer MUST place. Further, a traffic stop is not a criminal matter (for most breaches of the regulations) and neither is the fine, UNLESS the driver elects to take it to court where it can become a criminal offence if they get found guilty of the offence.
“Can she just open his car like that?” Welcome to how chill we Aussies are .. that doesn’t even register as an issue in our heads. lol But yes we all know that there’s a minimum safety standard that’s in our best interests to maintain and is legally enforceable. If you get a yellow sticker (affectionately called a ‘Canary’) then you can’t drive it until it’s at that minimum standard.
I'm more scared of my grandmother than almost every Aussie cop I've met.....including my husband lol Aussies do definitely have a more casual, relaxed relationship with police, and police prefer that because they know that being authoritarian, bullying, and making people afraid for their lives just by coming in contact with one and abusing power is useless. Creating fear for power's sake, does not a healthy community make, and so a more relaxed attitude definitely causes less escalation and less animosity. Of course there are exceptions obviously, but they're the minority not the norm!
It's almost like being told what to do by your mother. The Victorian Police Office ranks are (in order from lowest to highest) 1. Constable, 1st Constable, Senior Constable, Leading Senior Constable, Sergeant, Senior. Then the brass ranks are: Inspector, Superintendent, Commander, Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Chief Commissioner. I think you will find these are similar to the UK.
The lady officer has her gun on her left hip, a few months ago I was summoned to Cort for jury duty, cort security is handled by Sheriff's, they are also responsible for transportation of crims to & from Cort (to lock up) (aka, prison)
The cop opening the door to put a defect sticker on the windscreen is not something we get our knickers in a knot about here in Australia. We are certainly a lot more chill here.
Driving a defective vehicle means he puts OTHER peoples lives at risk. As an Australian who has been pulled over for many Random Breath Tests and Defective Vehicle stops, I for one am grateful that it is a part of the workload our Police Officers do.
Often a defective vehicle needs to have a tyre changed & or a light globe replace replaced. Usually brake & blinker globes go when you least expect it. In the old cars you could pick up replacement globes at EVERY SERVO - but with newer cars not always standard fits.
She's an absolute card and appears on this Road Patrol show, and yes, all cars are held to a standard of roadworthyness, and yes she can open the door to put a yellow sticker on the inside windshield, and if he removes it, its another fine. There's another two cops, both with impressive moustaches, they're worth watching, true legends. 😊
Less police shootings, less power tripping police, better relationships with police, better standards and regulations for drivers and regulations….what else can I say. Oh, this young bloke was a bit of a smart mouth but it didn’t escalate because it wasn’t necessary and the officer knew that. So yep I live in the best country for that and many other reason!
Highway patrol and rbt were great entertainment. Constable is a rank of a police officer (means keeper of horses) she was a senior constable which is the quivelent to a corporal, below a sergeant. She was armed
Given this was for the unscripted show Highway Patrol, the driver is either neurodivergent (given his verbal and physical reactions) or an actor to make the stop more interesting (in which case the car is also faked for the drama). Paying the fine off reinforces the neurodivergent theory. Or he could be poor and tripping (but she didn't go down the drug driving path, so unlikely).
Police Ranks hear in OZ are Constable, Senior Constable, Sergent, Senior Sergent, Inspector, Chief Inspector, Deputy Superintendent, Superintendent, Chief Superintendent, Deputy & Assistant Commissioners then the Commissioner of Police. any Cop once they make Constable can try for Detective it gives you a half grade bump in Rank, but you have to keep re-qualifying to stay a Detective and that is an epic task when you get over Chief Inspector I don't think there any Superintendents who currently qualify as Detectives in the entire country at the moment. Police are (under paid and overworked) Civil Servants working for the States or Federal Government, we don't trust Local Governments with Policing powers heck we barely trust local governments to tender the garbage collection contracts we took away their water and sewage responsibilities decades ago. the Sheriff and his Deputies work for the Courts they are Not elected.
And in some States you can’t even register your car without having it checked. Annually you need a pink slip (roadworthy check where the car in gone over thoroughly and taken for a road test to test brakes etc) and green slip (third party insurance). It can be a pain, but at least you can feel relatively safe driving.
In NZ cars have to be checked for road worthiness every six to twelve months depending on the age of the car. Some claim that this is a government money - grab but the cost of the test goes to the mechanic or testing station which carries it out, not the government. As someone who has had to deal with the results of traffic smashes for some years I am glad that these tests exist, bald tires drastically reduce road holding, leaking exhausts gas drivers and defective brakes are potential killers. I've attended pile-ups where all of these have been factors and pulled badly injured and dead from them. Believe me, it's no joke.
All states in Australia have laws regarding road-worthy tyres, and they are enforced. The constable is a police officer and not a sheriff. They are the equivalent of the police in your states and where you would call them officer we call them constables, the same as in the UK. We also have sheriffs, but they are appointed officers of the court and carry out duties associated with our courts. Basically, their role is to enforce writs, warrants and Property Seizure Orders.
Yes even in taly are strict about tyres, in north Italy they have to change tyres for winter and summer while in the south we don't as we haven't snow but we have to carry chains for wheels if we go on snowy mountain as vulcnao Etna in sicily
Hi their from Aus. in the 80's I was studying in UK (they had an annual MOT) In Germany/Austria they changed tyres for winter. In Aus, there is very little snow, the roads were never saluted! I had a Haflinger 4WD with two diff locks, 4 chains but never used them (they bog you down) But his guy in the Commodore had faulty tyres and damaged rims and faulty exhaust? I'm surprised, the suspension was so very low at the back that the copper didn't say pop your boot, you must have something very heavy like an ATM!
Car registration is tied to compulsory third party insurance that means a world of trouble if you drive unregistered and uninsured in Australia. The police have a pretty good way to check cars for current rego and hopefully not so many uninsured drivers on the road as there are in the US.
Also insurance is void if car is unregistered. I once moved & forgot to change my address & my car was unregistered & therefore uninsured for 6(? 8?) months & I got my premiums back. Thankfully, the refund was more than the RWC.
In Belgium you need to go pass a inspection annually and have your car checked by a certified centre. Looking over brakes, exhaust fumes, tyres, wheels, lights, basically everything even put on a lift that shakes and looks at how the car handles the bad shape of our roads.
We have it so that when a car changes hands it needs going over to make sure it's 'road worthy'. Also, whenever a cop tells you it needs checking. Usually people are good about upkeeping their cars, unless they're meant to be bangers (mostly in the country and tend to be just farm rides).
The auto-generated captions are almost worthless, Google AI has no clue what Australians are saying. You also need to bear in mind that Australia, whilst sharing a handful of cultural similarities with America, is a vastly different place. America has changed little since the wild west days, only the guns got better, and while everyone was focussed on the "right" to keep and bear such, the corporations quietly took over... everything.
i was a leading senior constable 2 and a half stripes. but was acting sergeant , senior sgt, inspector, chief inspector, superintendent , chief superintendent. i was told by certain cretins in the nsw police , an inspector told , you cannot do that, oops too late ive done it been approved.
I love these, I watch the English ones as well. It’s obvious both police and people pulled over play up because there’s a film crew! Still hilarious! Indiana seems a very laid back to live 😂😂😂😂 ( not in a necessity safe way 😂).
You know this guy does burnouts everywhere cause it's dumped on its arse with stockers, we call that car cop bait asif it wasn't gonna get pulled over 😅
I love and respect our police force. You can have a laugh with them and even get a nice hug and selfie with them for Xmas or NYE. When my kid was little, I pointed to police and said see them, you get lost, you need help, you get scared you find them and they will look after you. The officer kneeled down and reiterated what I said. Teach them to admire and respect.
Cops are much more relaxed and polite here than what I've seen in American videos. And 2, 3 or 4 cars don't turn up when one pulls you over. The US is just weird...
"constable" is carried over from the brits, however due to the aussie accent the 'o'(as in "on") tends to sounds more like a 'u'(as in "up"), we also get a bit slack and the 's' and the 't' get swapped.

Yup, US seems to forget that their time is a valuable asset too. Hardly "free" if you spend half your life fighting authorities instead of going to the beach!
She wasn’t searching the inside of the car, she was just attaching the sticker
Spot on👍
Bald tyres mean no grip on the road especially when wet = accident. No exhaust means carbon monoxide can leak into vehicle resulting in the driver becoming unconscious = accident. The US is crazy if these things are not illegal.
Maybe they are illegal but Indiana (and some other states) police just don't generally enforce it by conducting roadworthy checks when they pull up drivers. If so that's crazy in itself and alarmingly irresponsible, putting people's lives at risk by defective vehicles that are accidents waiting to happen. (Having said that, I wouldn't be all that surprised if Ryan's just got this wrong...)
I'm old enough to remember when Qld didn't do rego checks on cars, so it was the state where old cars went to die when they failed roadworthys in other states (especially neighbouring NSW). The US is just a few decades (or more) behind Australia in terms of regulations, especially anything safety or rights related (yes they claim to have freedom/rights, but don't actually have worker rights etc)
Yes. and yes the U.S. is crazy.
It's handy to keep your car on the actually road and the driver conscious. At least we don't shoot bad drivers, so there's that!
There's a lot of US states where cars don't need a catalytic converter on their exhaust.
I have no quarms about our laws getting unroadworthy vehicles off the road. If this idiots tyres had blown innocent people could be harmed or worst still killed.
The safety of my wife and kids comes first before idiots who put their rights before the law
Exactly. I hate that we've been infected by an increasing number of Freedumbers thanks to Murdoch media propaganda. Putting your petty wants above the health and safety of others is one of the most unAussie things you can do.
Exactly 😊
Exactly, and he was an idiot. He should have been breath tested as he was either drunk or just a dumb bogan.
Yep and as the victim of a serious road trauma (broke my brain and paraplegic)…. Cars should be roadworthy. Life changes in a split second and it’s horrible. The driver at fault walked away with no injuries.
My last interaction with a police officer here in Australia pulled me over for speeding, then conversed with me about my life as I started crying and wanted to know if I was ok. Let me off without giving me a ticket. I went to my car to leave but my battery was flat so he drove me home to get my battery jump starter then drove me back to my car and jump started my car. What a nice cop!
Aussie female privilege at its finest my mother pulls the same tactics it's pathetic and affective.
That is a nice cop. Some can be really horrible.

Most cops I’ve encountered have been nice; a couple were not so! 😝
Depends on the individual.
Zero searching, just complying with the requirements of the law when giving a car a canary
"Constable" is a rank used in Australia's police forces, part of our British heritage. Think of it as being about the same as 'Patrolman" in the US.
This guy was being a complete smart-@$$, which is idiotic, and props to the police officer for keeping it professional.
That's where the word "constabulary" comes from presumably.
@@XaviRonaldo0 Yup.
He was playing the fool for the camera.
Very much so.
Similar ranks are used in Canadian law enforcement. Actually, the provincial police in Newfoundland are called the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.
Our police aren't elected - they are trained and work their way up with training. Constable,Senior Constable and so on.
Is that not how it works here in America? (Sheriffs don't count. They're sheriffs and deputies, not real police.)
and some of them work their way up to cuntstables
no, propationary constable, first constable, senior constable, leading senior constable, you cant jump rank mate :p
I know, same here in the UK. I can’t imagine anything worse than having to vote for your local cop. 😮
Connecticut has two types of constables, one is an elected official and the other are police officers.
Australians (and most other civilised countries) have a much better relationship with police than Americans do. They are held to a much higher standard and are nit as “gun happy” as American cops need to be as 99.99% of our population don’t carry weapons, so they don’t need to enter every interaction as though they might be shot.

@@jslasher1Many years ago I was pulled up for speeding for the very first and only time. The policeman asked me why I was speeding (keep in mind I have never had this experience before.) I said and I quote. Because I didn’t know you were on the road. He laughed so much he still gave me a ticket but he dropped the speed a little so it was not as much of a fine. I was good because I was speeding.
When she put the sticker in the window, she didn't search his car. All she did was stick the sticker to his window. Cops are also allowed to stop unsafe cars on the road. we don't shoot people at traffic stops here either.
Sherriffs here are officers of the Court rather than part of the police service. They are in control of the bailiffs and are similar to the US Marshall Service, but for State matters.
If there was probable cause for a search of the car, due to possession of drugs or guns, every constable has the right in Australia to search and seize said items.
She was mainly concerned about the driver's and the communities safety if this car could cause an accident and kill himself or other users on the roads.
There is only one thing an Aussie Cop usually looks for at a road stop. Does the person pass the 'attitude' test, and a bad attitude by the driver would have produced a vastly different outcome.
I'm surprised she doesn't give the bloke a breath test though. I thought that was pretty standard at any type of police stop. Unless they're just letting you know your Macca's is sitting on the roof of the vehicle!@@skippymaster57
@neumanmachine3781 police are state and federally funded. We don't have any elected positions within our police services. Only moron politicians are elected in this country.
@@skippymaster57 We call it "reasonable suspicion".

If you grow up in a smaller city/town, you know them off the clock - sometimes catch 'em down at the pub. They're neighbours and friends and when you need help, usually they're good for a call. Sure, there's some cunts in the bunch, but for the most part they're just people doing a job, trying to keep us and themselves safe.

She was a SENIOR constable. Respect for how she handled it because she actually cares about the safety of this kid.
How can you not have laws dealing with the safety of vehicles on the road? That’s madness!
You would be staggered by the total lack of roadworthiness that US vehicles display while being "LEGAL" to drive. 20 odd years ago on a work trip to Omaha (from Oz) I was told by my taxi driver to be careful of the rust hole in the floor. Scarey.
In the UK we have a yearly MOT to make sure it's roadworthy. My cousin lives in Florida and there's nothing like it. Wrecks driving about, bits of cars and blown tyres all over the roads too 😂😂
@@101steel4 Most Aussies states have something similar, but it's at a state not national level. South Australia, where I live, does not have mandatory inspections for light vehicles. Every so often they try and bring it in and the RAA trot out the stats. Basically, the accident rate in S.A. where the condition of the vehicle caused or contributed to the accident is LOWER in S.A. where there are no annual inspections (but every time you get pulled for a random breath test the cops check the car for obvious defects) than in N.S.W. where they have mandatory annuals. I suspect that it's because by the time the vehicle is worn out to the degree it has safety issues, it probably doesn't go or has expensive mechanical issues and is off the road anyway. Victoria split the difference, you only have to get it inspected when it changes owners. Consider that we don't salt our roads, so very old vehicles are often drivng way past the date they would be in the UK. I'm still driving a 1995 Ssangyong Musso, and it has no rust at all. Ditto for the 1990 Toyota Commuter (HiAce basically) my wife uses to ferry the grandkids to school for their non driving parents. We get pulled for Random Drug/Alcohol tests probably several times a year on average, so they always look at the tyres, check the front seat belts retract properly, all the lights and indicators work and look for obvious signs of serious rust or damage. What most people get pinged for is tyres with insufficient tread. In S.A. they will give you a defect notice and you can't drive the vehicle except to take it home, then to get the defect remedied. Then you go to the Police station and have to pay $57 for a cop to look at it and remove the defect sticker. Some defects (seat belts, exhaust, rust, steering or suspension issues) require you to take it for a full inspection with a nearly $400 fee to get the defect lifted. Naturally they look at EVERYTHING so you need to be confident the car is good before you take it in, or they'll refuse to remove the defect and slap you with more things to fix. IIRC you get one free return visit if it didn't pass the first one, then you have to pay another fee.
All police in Australia have guns
USA - no ban on drinking either! So far behind the rest of the world!
In my legal experience, I can tell you in Australia you can stop and search a vehicle for a number of reasons, and she can open the door. I am actually surprised they didn't drug test him, or check for drink driving.
not sure how old that video was but here in Victoria and probably most other states now if the police pull you over you are prelminary breath tested
@@aussiebattler7789 I am a lawyer. It is not always the case. You don't need to be breath tested, or drug tested, if there is cause to pull someone over. IN this instance there was due to a defect of the car

He seemed hypomanic to me which also has similar symptoms to being on amphetamines so a saliva test probably was warranted.
I agree, I was wondering why she didn’t at least breathalyse him.
Good work, Constable. Keep dangerous vehicles off the road and the idiots driving them. One again ..Australia is about community benefit, USA about their 'rights' of an indiviidual even when harmful to others.
no, it's about my "right" as an individual to be out in public, driving on roads, walking along footpaths etc & not having to worry that some duck in his roadworthy car is going to unalive me because he doesn't give a proverbial!
We have WAY more individual rights than the US because of how we value our rights to safety in all settings & what that means as far as everyone needing to do their bit to not endanger others with reckless & selfish behaviours.
Yes, you are right in what you say, but those destroying life in the US use comments like yours as "proof" we're "communist" & don't care about individual rights, rather than recognising what "rights" actually matter if you want to live a long, happy life. Our life expectancy is around 10 years longer than the US, because we have better rights all round. The "right to be safe" and live is the ultimate individual right in life!
@@mehere8038 That was a bit over the top, don't you think? There was nothing "communist" in what she said.

This was her meaning and intention and TBH, it made perfect sense with what and how she said it.
@@utha2665 of course it's over the top & of course we're not communist, we're more socialist than the US, but they are totally different things, but the far right over there dont' seem to grasp that.
I'm just saying that in my experience, mention "community benefit" to that US group that are the ones objecting to things like putting a hand inside a vehicle to put a sticker on it, or checking roadworthyness & they will immediately jump on the "communist" bandwagon & rant about how we have no freedoms in Australia & are under "dictatorship lockdowns" etc etc, but mention instead that we demand the right to be safe & freedom to engage in everyday activities without risking dying & it throws them, cause in reality, they're just reciting right wing media talking points & don't actually understand the issues at all.
We do have some of these fools in Australia too & talking "community" just sets them off, they're only interested in their personal rights, so just respond to how their rights are infringed on if they risk death from someone else's stupidity & it tends to get them on the same page as the rest of us, without them feeling like they've had to compromise their own beliefs to get there.
Meeting those with different views to us half way/finding common ground is always more productive than confrontation & increasing the divide. We don't even have to compromise on what we want in our society, just in how we present it to those who want to make everything about their personal rights

Also, there is no need for "communist" to be in a name to make it so, I wonder if the "communist" elected here was even an actual "communist".
The German "National socialist party" certainly weren't "socialists" & our "Liberal party" is certainly not "Liberal" is it, nor does "One Nation" truly support unity & every citizen being considered a part of "one nation", same with the "United Australia party" & it's "make Australia great again" policies, or how about the so called "Informed Medical Options Party" that actually believe that vacines are a huge conspiracy & viruses don't exist & that basically it should be illegal to share positive information about vacines, or in short, the entire party is based on an anti-vax agenda, but I'm sure their deceptive name got them more than a few votes from people who would never knowingly vote for a party that's sole purpose is to promote vaccine conspiracy theories (and of course throw in the 5G & fluoride in the water, WHO & UN controlling everyone conspiracies - they want Australia to fully withdraw from the latter 2 & also want all non-organic farms shut down, but also want windmills & solar shut down cause they think they're harmful to everyone's health too & want everyone "informed" of those dangers)
No sane person believes Australia has any hints of communism in it. I'm just sharing what I've found to be most effective when in a discussion with the insane
Most Australian Police do car checks to make sure they are road worthy. People get angry but the fact is it saves lives. Keep your car in a safe condition and then you’ll have nothing to complain about.
I would rather I was pulled over and told about a defect in my car than find out about doing 110 on the Sydney to Newcastle run.
Most police cars are have at least one defect. But that's ok.
And this is why we all like living in Australia.
We have had a few police shootings in recent times, some of which being very questionable as to if they were justified, but our police spend 3 years at the police academy training in policing, including de-escalation & community relations, before they hit the streets, so we feel quite comfortable around them & know we're not actually going to get shot or anything we need to worry about.
You'll actually notice her bigger focus is how close this guy is to the road & other traffic, that's why she orders him back into the car, to keep him safe, cause that's her main job as a police officer, to ensure the protection & safety of everyone in the community.
She would have a gun btw, but our police are only allowed to unholster their gun in a life threatening situation, where they are imminently intending on shooting someone with it, otherwise, we don't see their guns. They don't need to pull them out, they're trained to handle situations with their voices, not violence

In Aus your exhaust outlet has to be a certain distance from the last open passenger window in the vehicle so you cant get effected by carbon monoxide gases. People call police doing their duty revenue raising when they themselves are the ones doing the revenue raising by speeding or like this fool driving unroadworthy vehicles or breaking the road rules , you are the one in charge of the vehicle so you suffer when you break the rules don't cry about it

Our police do roadworthy checks regularly. They give you a yellow sticker listing the defects and you have a limited time to get it fixed and get it cleared. if you don't you lose your car registration and cannot drive it. You then have to apply to get it registered and that will cost you about another $600 or more.
A park near where I live regularly turns into a car yard after a roadworthy blitz. It always amazes me how many cars they get. I have heard that a couple end up in the crusher.

Was so distressed about it that the cop tried to help me remember where I might've lost it. Asked me the last stop I made and I told him it was at the last town about 80 kilometres away. Radioed for assistance and it was confirmed my wallet was at a servo. Escorted me all the way back to town but not without stopping to book another speeding driver. After collecting my wallet at the servo, showed him the licence and was given a ticket. Bless his heart.
That yellow sticker is called a Canary, and you can not drive the car except to the repairer. You can get one for smoking exhausts, brakes, broken lights, no signals, bald tyres, broken windows, etc... You have to keep your car in a roadworthy condition, and if it is not roadworthy, your registration can be cancelled. A full roadworthy includes the car going over a pit to check the underside, brake fluid, wipers, you name it.
And if you're old enough it's also known as a licky
Basically, I think this illustrates the generally positive relationship between Australian police and citizens. Laws are tougher here, and fewer freedoms are guaranteed, perhaps because the first settlers were convicts and the stae evolved to monitor and control them. Today, however, most of us are happy with our police force. I have only had half a dozen encounters with them over many decadescandcalways found them helpful courteous and good tempered even when they do have to fine you. The realtionship is perhaps more relaxed because police very rarely have to worry about being shot, and so can be a bit more relaxed and casual with citizens.

Education.
@@andersrefstad8235I don't think the education aspect can be understated. It takes years for police to qualify for duty here. I think in the states it's maybe a couple of months.
@@johnl6176
I knowe that EMT "education" is a 120 hr. cource to qalefy in USA.
Norway is 4 years full time education. AFAIK Police here is 3 years higher education.
"Prison guard" is 2 years i think. (This is entrylevel).
Theyr whole schoolsystem seems to be failing...
@@johnl6176 In the US it varies from state to state, and from department to department (remember that the United States have over 18 000 law enforcement agencies and Australia has 8 - one for each state and territory, and the AFP). As a friend of mine told me, whenever you're talking about issues within the United States remember that as far as Americans are concerned the emphasis is on 'states' rather than 'united'.
@@scrapper3494
I think the demands to be EMT and Paramedic is the same nation wide.
Maybe some states have better demands...
We don't have people fighting and arguing about our rights here, we just get shit over with, pay the bill and move on. Not too many Karens here, we're a pretty peaceful lot. We're pretty respectful to cops and they are pretty much just doing their job.
The karens and freedumbers we do have thanks to Murdoch's influence are also looked down upon by the rest of us.
We DO insist on rights that actually matter though & will absolutely fight for those if needbe! Government & authorities know it though & tend to avoid the confrontation where possible. They also know we will happily switch parties & vote them out if they fail to respect our rights.
In the US, they're encouraged to fight over trivial rights that don't matter, at an individual level, so as to keep them busy & stop them uniting & demanding rights that would actually put the people in control of their country. Divide & conquer
@@mehere8038 Oh, yes, this absolutely. When something isn't right and fair and is just plain dumb, you know we'll pull up and call it out. We're not afraid to let our voices be heard, we're just sensible about shit that could be deadly.
Translation: we do as we're told.
She certainly had a sidearm. All Australian police are armed.
Many don’t have guns tho, most only have battons or tazers. :)
Yep! Ever since two unarmed young constables were ambushed and murdered in 1989.
Most Aussie cops are pretty good. They have a sense of humor, they have to they deal with Aussies everyday lmao
Australian Police have the authority to conduct Random Vehicle Inspections, in addition to Random Drug/Alcohol Screening and Licence Checks, and by getting behind the wheel you are implicitly agreeing to these checks under Australian Road Rules.
And while they're conducting one of those checks, they may observe other things that warrant their attention.
The word "cop" was actually originally an acronym COP meaning Constable On Patrol and I think it originated in the UK (as that's where Australia got that rank from).
That's really interesting. I never knew that
Citizens On Patrol COP is from police academy
Too bad most of them are C*nt stables on patrol 😂
@@ETERNALCYCLESwe were calling them COPS long before that movie came out
"The term copper was the original word, used in Britain to mean "someone who captures". In British English, the term cop is recorded (Shorter Oxford Dictionary) in the sense of 'to capture' from 1704, derived from the Latin capere via the Old French caper.The OED suggests that "copper" is from "cop" in this sense, but adds that the derivation is uncertain. Many imaginative, but incorrect stories have come up over the years, including that cop refers to the police uniform's copper buttons, the police man's copper badge, or that it is an abbreviation for "constable on patrol", "constabulary of police", or "chief of police"."
The Aussie psyche is do what is best to protect yourself and others. So we accept a lot of protective measures that would not fit with the American psyche.
Lol yanks don't give a fuk.
They let anyone have a gun too
I got pulled over one day while on my way home. It was a drink driving check. He asked me when i had last had a drink. Told him about 3 years ago. He deadpan said , bloody hell you will be thirsty then 😂😂. So funny
Similarly, I was asked when I had my last drink. I replied that I hoped I hadn't had it. I didn't have any 'onboard' so I felt it was ok to be a little cheeky.
A cop in Aus. will check the general condition of your car EVERY time they pull you over (if there's anything obvious to them). A poorly maintained vehicle can be a danger to the driver, the passengers, and the general public.
Having said that, most cops, the vast majority, come to work with a sense of humour, the best way to deal with them is with a polite joke and familiarity. It would be a real culture shock if we went to the U.S. and treated cops this way.
Yes the cops in Aussie and in New Zealand do have the authority to fully inspect the car if they suspect it to be unroadworthy. And if it is unroadworthy they'll ticket you and sticker the car, and if the condition of the car is bad enough they'll make you get it towed from there.
i was waiting for someone to say she was doing a roadworthy check
Let's face it we live in a place where we don't have to worry about being shot.thank god we live in Australia 🐕🐕🐕 you couldn't possibly get me to even holiday in America yuk yuk yuk. 🐕🐕🐕🐕
and if they accidentally come across something in the vehicle while doing their lawful vehicle check, you then have further problems.... because that is all totally legal and to be expected in Australia and NZ. She was allowed to open the car to inspect the vehicle, or place the 'banned from the road' sticker on the inside of the windshield. It is prescribed by statutory law in these countries, and they can't be accused of unlawful search, as it is permitted by law there.
Do people also call those yellow stickers canaries in NZ?
@@Moarlatz What yellow stickers?
Every police officer has a gun in Australia regardless of rank. Even the probationary police.
They just are taught not to draw them unless there's imminent danger.
It wasn't always the case. But nowadays every police officer has a pistol. They just don't draw them very often.
I worked with some 21yr old trainee Connie’s, who really didn’t have the maturity and common sense to have a gun, let alone be patrolling the streets. Coppers who join later in life and have life experience are the best! Best one I worked with had been a shearer and joined the job at 28. Love ya Rowan! Happy retirement mate.
@@karenglenn6707I joined at 21 and probably grew up more in my 6 months at the academy than ever before. After 11 years I joined the ambulance service. That was 27 years ago. There was always the odd cop and ambo who I thought wasn't suited to the career.
The worst defect notice and fine I ever saw was about $10,000 and the car was only worth about $2,000. It probably didn't help the muppet driver pissed off the cops so they defected and fined him for everything they could find.
Failed the attitude test. If you're nasty to the cops, expect to get that back in the form of them pinging you for every little thing, including some they'd likely overlook or just warn you about.
A mechanic friend had his 1972 Chrysler Charger defected. He wasn't too sure why.
5:30pm 3rd February 1982: He was heading home after work.
He turned off Daws Rd. onto Goodwood Road and just past the corner was a booze bus, doing random breath tests & roadworthiness inspections.
They signaled him to stop. Which he did, 50 metres (yards for those from the USA) past the bus.
So he switched to reverse, and started back, then coasted to them, stopping at about the right spot.
The wheel wells were just about rusted out because he had often used the car on Moana beach. None of his turn indicators worked. All his tyres (including the spare) were down to cloth in places. The steering wheel was held on with a pair of vice-grips.
One officer reached in to set the park brake, and the lever came off in his hand.
The muffler was in good condition (It had been replaced the previous Christmas, by his Dad)
The police insisted that he get it towed home.
It sat in the front yard of his house for 6 months until the Marion City Council demanded that he remove the piece of rubbish from his front yard, or they would do it for him & bill him. The car went to landfill the following week.
He reckoned that if he'd sold it the week before the defect notice, he would've got about $250 for it. To fix everything would've cost about $2500 & he'd then be able to sell it for approximately $2000. It just wasn't worth his time & effort.
He is a bludy good mechanic, but he never did any work on his own car...
He's still not sure what it was the defect notice was issued for.
Yikes😮 that's high!😢😂 But yeah it really pays to keep ya mouth shut.🙊
@@EarlJohn61You listed all those defects & then wonder why his car was defected?
Or do you mean, which one?
yes..... if you want maximum pain when dealing with police in Australia or NZ, don't cooperate, be a prick, insult the cop, say things like "you can't do that... I study law", or even better, "You should know that my father is XXXX (a well known lawyer) and I am going to report you" and then the cop will charge you with everything he/she can find to test out your brilliant legal skills (hahaha).
You will soon learn to cooperate and just get it over..... be polite and comply with directions given by the cop.... it will be the difference between 1 ticket and 6 tickets and your car ordered off the road for you. Don't be the loser.
Oh, if you don't sort the problem out and also pay penalties by the specified date, your car gets de-registered..... and that brings further costs to re-register it. And you can't use it while this process is underway.
Australian sheriffs are state revenuers and bailiffs.
Classic Aussie response “don’t be silly” 😂
Remember Ryan, the auto-captions can be awful at times, especially on this video! A lot of it was just plain incorrect :)
Low riding hole....... Hold on .... Holden!
@@pgdog6611 ha ah I wondered about that one
it was Americanised captions using Z instead of S for one subtitle
Yep, often the auto-caps can't handle the Aussie accent.
And it got “mate” wrong every time.
Oh and by the way here in Qld you can be fined if a police camera catches you or your passengers playing with the seatbelt and yes here in Australia we have wear a seatbelt, we cannot touch our phones and we cannot have defective cars
Ryan, from what I understand the US system for Law Enforcement, upto a state level consists of: City/Town Police (in an incorporated area), the County Sherriff's Department with Deputies and they also manage the country jail/court bailiff, and then the State Police.
Australia is different, each state has Police, that's it, the Sherriff is also at a state level, but they manage warrants and property... and Constable is an English word for Officer.
Plus we have federal police
@Amanda-uc5jq I understand that the Federal Police exist, bit didn't want to try to explain the comparison between them and the various alphabet agencies. But for simplicity the Australian Federal Police overlaps with both the FBI and ATF.
Everything she did, was within the rules of Australian law. If the constable had detected alcohol or drugs on the driver, she could also search the car, driver, or passenger(s) for open alcohol or drugs (or other restricted items).
Caveat. Open container of alcohol is not an offence in every state. (I'm in S.A. and it's not an offence in S.A.) But they can just pull anyone over for no reason and do a Random Drug/Alcohol Test and they'll always look the vehicle over for obvious defects (mostly tyres or lights or damage).
@geoffroberts1126 Thanks, wasn't aware it was that way in S.A.
Why do you keep asking whether she can do that? Yes, she can. For God’s sake!
The host of this is young(ish) and clearly doesn't have too many life or worldly experiences. He wouldn't say the things he says if he had. Like many Americans, he can't see too far past his own state's borders. Sad really.
The police in australia rarely have to use their weapons but they do carry
Pretty sure they have to fill out a whole heap of paper work if they ever need to just take it out and it’s a false alarm. Why they did and everything like that.
@@brontetomlinson6786 you are correct
New Zealand and Norway police officers are all trained in firearms but they keep their weapons locked in their car and can only draw them with authorisation. Newfoundland Police in Canada, and Britain's Armed Response Vehicle drivers, followed the same model until about 20 years ago, but now they carry weapons whenever they're on duty.
It’s all about the hoons really, anytime they see a car that looks like a skid rig they’ll pull it over especially the commodores haha.
ah, of course! Geez I'm dumb, none of that even occurred to me until you said it
That driver certainly enforced the stereotype.
And Falcons .....
To us, "sheriff" sounds funny. They wear big hats and ride horses in cowboy movies.
The exhaust carbon monoxide fumes I would say, was coming into the car that’s probably why he looked like he just woke up. 😂😂🇦🇺🐨🐨🇦🇺
Must be a lot of Defective Cars in Indiana if no one checks the Vehicle for Roadworthy Condition.
Helps explain the USA's far higher road accident and death toll per capita.
Happy Arvo Ryan! 😃👍 Funny accent, must be Australian! Low riding Holden, yep! Our Police rankings are Probationary Constable, Senior Constable, Sergeant, Senior Sergeant, Inspector, Commissioner! Do I get paid for this? 😆 He is a real danger to society! 😂
The road toll in the US ( deaths and serious injuries) is staggering. In 2022 it wad around 43k deaths and 1.5 million seriously injured. That a society can just accept that is hard to fathom.
To be fair, they're fine with accepting deaths by other causes without issue so it doesn't surprise me at all. (Guns. Guns is what I'm meaning. Taking out even school shootings, the amount of accidental gun deaths and non-accidental ones is horrifying.)
Ryan FYI I thought you might like to know that magpies have just been voted the most popular animal sound in Australia. Everyone loves the song of magpies but, as you have seen, not so much the swooping. Love your videos.
I LOVE the Maggies. Scary Intelligent and have a great personality. My favourite bird (with the rainbow parrot a close 2nd)
That guy's attitude was hilarious as was the cops. I watch this show all the time and have a great laugh 😅
yeahhhh in Australia we have standards when it comes to operating vehicles on the road. We don't allow the idiotic things that some US states do like massive wide tyres outside the fenders, wheel spacers, straight pipe exhausts, cut off cats and the list goes on (see Whistlin Diesel). We have one state at least where you must do an annual road worthy inspection for cars over a certain age. Its just common sense stuff really. Also....ignore most substitles on the videos you watch, they are terrible and that video was waaaayyyy off. The Police were pullng over a HOLDEN car not a HOLE or a HOG.
In Australia quite a few public services are are organised and funded on a state basis e.g.schools, hospitals, railways and public transport, public works, industrial relations, community services, sport and recreation, consumer affairs, police, prisons and emergency services. There may be some sharing with local and federal government. Advantages of this broader organisation means that there are greater levels of accountability and with state based funding there is greater equity than if it was simply local. e.g schools funding and services are based on the number of students as well as needs based requirements
Also the states have massively varying requirements for the services they need to provide. Imagine having the fed gov in the ACT decide everything about what WA should be doing. They'd have no idea.
All our police carry a gun on patrol also in Australia our cops are treated like any other person when we get pulled over if it's safe (not on a freeway) we can freely get out of the car move round etc its honestly just like talking to any other person.
Should try find the ‘waiting for a mate’ episode. An absolute classic in Australia, it became a meme before meme’s existed 🤣🤣🤣
She does have a gun. Likely a glock . She also has tasers . Check the shot where she gets out of her car. Right hip.
It's on her left hip as she exits the vehicles. She's left handed when writing documents later on. Victorian Police like her use Smith and Wesson M&P pistols; IIRC about 4 states use Glocks.
I'm in NSW where the police use glocks. I thought victoria police did also. thanks@@tacitdionysus3220
If you are suspected of having something illegal in your car in Australia- they can search your car without a warrant.
Generally Aussie cops can tell you to get on your knees but you actually don't have to. Most cops would not tell you to do that but I'm guessing she was only generalizing when telling him to get on knees lol, not to be taking to seriously. I do love that guys sarcasm 😂
Yeah, I think she was meaning "actually get down and look" not "get on your knees so I can restrain/arrest you". XD
He definitely took it the other way. At least he didn't take it the way my cousin's best friend did - by trying to propose to the officer. Sadly, he got a decline and a fine. (He then ended up dating her sister for a few years. I can't imagine what the family meet and greet was like! XDDD )
Highway patrol the show is based out of my town here in Vic. Once when I was about to head into my local woolies to shop I wasn't watching where I was going crossing the parking lot when I smacked into the boom guy and almost knocked over the camera guy too. One of the patrol guys caught me and he asked me if I was drunk and if I needed to go back to station to sleep it off lol.. He was joking of course and everyone laughed including the bogan hoon they pulled over and we're filming at the time. Our cops are pretty funny because, well, their Aussies, that's why!! 😂
Most australian cops return polite and reasonable behaviour with similar. Don't imagine for a moment rude or hostile is going to fly.
Everything the polcie officer did here was quite legal since there is NO positive right to drive nor Drive on the public roads and if you do drive then you MUST abide by both the legislation and regulations (ie: law)
There is a difference between searching a vehicle (which only requires reasonable suspicion) and placing a sticker required by legislation that the officer MUST place.
Further, a traffic stop is not a criminal matter (for most breaches of the regulations) and neither is the fine, UNLESS the driver elects to take it to court where it can become a criminal offence if they get found guilty of the offence.
“Can she just open his car like that?”
Welcome to how chill we Aussies are .. that doesn’t even register as an issue in our heads. lol
But yes we all know that there’s a minimum safety standard that’s in our best interests to maintain and is legally enforceable. If you get a yellow sticker (affectionately called a ‘Canary’) then you can’t drive it until it’s at that minimum standard.
I'm more scared of my grandmother than almost every Aussie cop I've met.....including my husband lol
Aussies do definitely have a more casual, relaxed relationship with police, and police prefer that because they know that being authoritarian, bullying, and making people afraid for their lives just by coming in contact with one and abusing power is useless. Creating fear for power's sake, does not a healthy community make, and so a more relaxed attitude definitely causes less escalation and less animosity.
Of course there are exceptions obviously, but they're the minority not the norm!
In Oz, the Sheriff's office is part of the Judiciary, the Police are part of the Executive. Separation of Powers
Senior Constable Christine Bosley is the coolest cop in Victoria Police. She did her job and was sensational.
It's almost like being told what to do by your mother. The Victorian Police Office ranks are (in order from lowest to highest) 1. Constable, 1st Constable, Senior Constable, Leading Senior Constable, Sergeant, Senior. Then the brass ranks are: Inspector, Superintendent, Commander, Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Chief Commissioner. I think you will find these are similar to the UK.
The lady officer has her gun on her left hip, a few months ago I was summoned to Cort for jury duty, cort security is handled by Sheriff's, they are also responsible for transportation of crims to & from Cort (to lock up) (aka, prison)
The cop opening the door to put a defect sticker on the windscreen is not something we get our knickers in a knot about here in Australia. We are certainly a lot more chill here.
Driving a defective vehicle means he puts OTHER peoples lives at risk. As an Australian who has been pulled over for many Random Breath Tests and Defective Vehicle stops, I for one am grateful that it is a part of the workload our Police Officers do.
Often a defective vehicle needs to have a tyre changed & or a light globe replace replaced. Usually brake & blinker globes go when you least expect it. In the old cars you could pick up replacement globes at EVERY SERVO - but with newer cars not always standard fits.
Should have fined him more. Dangerously irresponsible.
She's an absolute card and appears on this Road Patrol show, and yes, all cars are held to a standard of roadworthyness, and yes she can open the door to put a yellow sticker on the inside windshield, and if he removes it, its another fine. There's another two cops, both with impressive moustaches, they're worth watching, true legends. 😊
Less police shootings, less power tripping police, better relationships with police, better standards and regulations for drivers and regulations….what else can I say. Oh, this young bloke was a bit of a smart mouth but it didn’t escalate because it wasn’t necessary and the officer knew that. So yep I live in the best country for that and many other reason!
Highway patrol and rbt were great entertainment. Constable is a rank of a police officer (means keeper of horses) she was a senior constable which is the quivelent to a corporal, below a sergeant. She was armed
Given this was for the unscripted show Highway Patrol, the driver is either neurodivergent (given his verbal and physical reactions) or an actor to make the stop more interesting (in which case the car is also faked for the drama). Paying the fine off reinforces the neurodivergent theory. Or he could be poor and tripping (but she didn't go down the drug driving path, so unlikely).
Neurodivergent. At a guess Asperger's. Just by his behaviour
She was having a joke saying no one under 25. 😂. That’s our Aussi sense of humour.
Police Ranks hear in OZ are Constable, Senior Constable, Sergent, Senior Sergent, Inspector, Chief Inspector, Deputy Superintendent, Superintendent, Chief Superintendent, Deputy & Assistant Commissioners then the Commissioner of Police. any Cop once they make Constable can try for Detective it gives you a half grade bump in Rank, but you have to keep re-qualifying to stay a Detective and that is an epic task when you get over Chief Inspector I don't think there any Superintendents who currently qualify as Detectives in the entire country at the moment.
Police are (under paid and overworked) Civil Servants working for the States or Federal Government, we don't trust Local Governments with Policing powers heck we barely trust local governments to tender the garbage collection contracts we took away their water and sewage responsibilities decades ago. the Sheriff and his Deputies work for the Courts they are Not elected.
And in some States you can’t even register your car without having it checked. Annually you need a pink slip (roadworthy check where the car in gone over thoroughly and taken for a road test to test brakes etc) and green slip (third party insurance). It can be a pain, but at least you can feel relatively safe driving.
Especially once it reaches a certain age
In NZ cars have to be checked for road worthiness every six to twelve months depending on the age of the car. Some claim that this is a government money - grab but the cost of the test goes to the mechanic or testing station which carries it out, not the government. As someone who has had to deal with the results of traffic smashes for some years I am glad that these tests exist, bald tires drastically reduce road holding, leaking exhausts gas drivers and defective brakes are potential killers. I've attended pile-ups where all of these have been factors and pulled badly injured and dead from them. Believe me, it's no joke.
Thanks for your efforts on behalf of our Kiwi brothers.
All states in Australia have laws regarding road-worthy tyres, and they are enforced. The constable is a police officer and not a sheriff. They are the equivalent of the police in your states and where you would call them officer we call them constables, the same as in the UK. We also have sheriffs, but they are appointed officers of the court and carry out duties associated with our courts. Basically, their role is to enforce writs, warrants and Property Seizure Orders.
I tend to call all police “Officer”, never been corrected.
Well, almost never spoken to a policeman, except at an RBT about once every year or two.
Highway Patrol is absolutely hilarious at times. You see some crazy characters on that show :) Always an entertaining watch.
Hey Ryan the police are allowed to open the doors look in and search without a warrent
Yes even in taly are strict about tyres, in north Italy they have to change tyres for winter and summer while in the south we don't as we haven't snow but we have to carry chains for wheels if we go on snowy mountain as vulcnao Etna in sicily
Hi their from Aus. in the 80's I was studying in UK (they had an annual MOT) In Germany/Austria they changed tyres for winter. In Aus, there is very little snow, the roads were never saluted! I had a Haflinger 4WD with two diff locks, 4 chains but never used them (they bog you down) But his guy in the Commodore had faulty tyres and damaged rims and faulty exhaust? I'm surprised, the suspension was so very low at the back that the copper didn't say pop your boot, you must have something very heavy like an ATM!
If you drive with bawled tyres in Australia and have an accident your car insurance is void, so you pay the damages.
Car registration is tied to compulsory third party insurance that means a world of trouble if you drive unregistered and uninsured in Australia. The police have a pretty good way to check cars for current rego and hopefully not so many uninsured drivers on the road as there are in the US.
Also insurance is void if car is unregistered. I once moved & forgot to change my address & my car was unregistered & therefore uninsured for 6(? 8?) months & I got my premiums back. Thankfully, the refund was more than the RWC.
Bawled tires? Did they cry? You mean "bald".....
@@chalk6ix_nz950 be nice.
REALLY funny, but unkind.
She can pretty well do whatever she wants. At least our cops have a sense of humour and don’t shoot first and ask questions later.
In Belgium you need to go pass a inspection annually and have your car checked by a certified centre. Looking over brakes, exhaust fumes, tyres, wheels, lights, basically everything even put on a lift that shakes and looks at how the car handles the bad shape of our roads.
We have it so that when a car changes hands it needs going over to make sure it's 'road worthy'. Also, whenever a cop tells you it needs checking. Usually people are good about upkeeping their cars, unless they're meant to be bangers (mostly in the country and tend to be just farm rides).
Same in UK , it’s called the MOT (ministry of transport ) a yearly road worthy test .
Here in Australia it happens when you sell the car
Fun fact: Belgium didn't have a car driving test until 1977!
Same in Australia.
The auto-generated captions are almost worthless, Google AI has no clue what Australians are saying.
You also need to bear in mind that Australia, whilst sharing a handful of cultural similarities with America, is a vastly different place. America has changed little since the wild west days, only the guns got better, and while everyone was focussed on the "right" to keep and bear such, the corporations quietly took over... everything.
i was a leading senior constable 2 and a half stripes. but was acting sergeant , senior sgt, inspector, chief inspector, superintendent , chief superintendent. i was told by certain cretins in the nsw police , an inspector told , you cannot do that, oops too late ive done it been approved.
Onya, Stevo.
I love these, I watch the English ones as well. It’s obvious both police and people pulled over play up because there’s a film crew! Still hilarious! Indiana seems a very laid back to live 😂😂😂😂 ( not in a necessity safe way 😂).
There's a massive difference in police procedures with this show and Cops.
You know this guy does burnouts everywhere cause it's dumped on its arse with stockers, we call that car cop bait asif it wasn't gonna get pulled over 😅
as an aussie all i can say is we can sometimes be to chill :)
I love and respect our police force. You can have a laugh with them and even get a nice hug and selfie with them for Xmas or NYE. When my kid was little, I pointed to police and said see them, you get lost, you need help, you get scared you find them and they will look after you. The officer kneeled down and reiterated what I said. Teach them to admire and respect.
Can anyone list the states where bald tyres are ok? I want to know which states to avoid.
Cops are much more relaxed and polite here than what I've seen in American videos. And 2, 3 or 4 cars don't turn up when one pulls you over. The US is just weird...
Ryan, we’re a bit more casual here (search and seizure) because the police aren’t afraid of being shot. Seriously.❤
Cop pulled me up and told me I was doing 130 in a 100 zone, he asked what I have to say... I said, well, i know my speedo is accurate now😅
"constable" is carried over from the brits, however due to the aussie accent the 'o'(as in "on") tends to sounds more like a 'u'(as in "up"), we also get a bit slack and the 's' and the 't' get swapped.
And we call the bad cops "c_ntstable" with a "U"
In Australia we have a good balance of rights and responsibilities.
Probably put the almost bald tyres on because he can't use slicks on the road ! He's smart@rse !
