Hell no, I'd rather school the copper who pulls me up by flashing my bulletin printed from the RMS website showing that my rack complies with all the regulations then tearing the fine up in front of him.....then putting the torn up fine in the nearest bin.

You'd be better off court electing it wouldn't you? If you just tear up your copy of the ticket the cop will still process his original.
 
Better still

Write a letter to the station commander with a picture of a marked car with the hitch attached like the one parked outside the local headquarters yesterday.

If ever there is a blitz on protruding hitches, they'll use up a book of tickets before they leave the staff car park.
Personally I think they are a pedestrian hazard and a pain in the shin.

what a load of BS - don't they make real cops anymore? what i want to know is, are they randomly spotting these 'infringing vehicles' while looking for the bad guys - or do they find it easier and more satisfying to target and book us to reach their $$$ quota rather than risking their lives catching rapists, druggies, thugs and driving through Frankston?

drives ya mad.
