This post may be related to what happened on the weekend here in Sydney. A car festival had just finished and people were leaving to go home when they were greeted by this display from the NSW Police, this pic was taken and posted on a few sites with the following description....
"Despite numerous shootings, burglaries and acts of violence around Sydney today, the NSW Police Force found it far more appropriate to allocate this many cars and officers to a massive defect station coming out of the top gear festival. I mean the modified car community is such a threat to society.... And then they wonder why people lose respect for them..... Beyond belief........."

As someone who was in attendance both days of the weekend, I have to disagree.
The NSW Cobra Club had a display of members Cobras at the Top gear Festival on both the Saturday and Sunday. We were there both days from 6am to 6.30pm. The large contingent of Highway Patrol and General Duties Police were there for the purpose of ensuring that the tens of thousands of people who attended this event, left in an orderly and safe manner.
At no time were any of the Cobra fraternity subjected to any Police inspections, not did I observe any proactive operations as depicted in the photo supplied.
In my opinion, the photo shows available Police Vehicles parked at a marshalling point for a briefing prior to the closure of the event.
There was NO Police harassment of car enthusiasts. On the contrary, we found that the Police were really interested in the Cobra display and were generally impressed by the vehicles.

I did not take that pic nor attend that event, I have just posted what had already been posted on facebook qouting that this pic "may be related" to the topic of this thread. The info was simply "cut & pasted" from the internet and nothing to do with me...

CMY-427 - In future, don't believe everything you read. Take the time to research it before shoving it on the forum. Make inquires from those who may have been at the event by way of a query or PM on this or other forums. You will then obtain a true account of what actually did occur instead of taking for granted, some crap that an anonymous person has posted on Facebook. Any further comments or photos that you then submit after verifying the authenticity of the thread will be factual instead of perceived.

Baz, I will post as I see fit!! and will not be bullied by you or anyone else, this is a forum for views and opinions to be voiced and viewed, the post on fb was read and posted in the sense that this "may have been" the reason for this thread Not that it WAS definately related...
