    So if you driving and the copps may detect your plate no. which links to your licence and they know where you live. It’s a hefty fine, i know you really need it bad but it isn’t going to ruin your life. get it delivered i know it is time consuming. Let go of that ego, im sure you still have other tables to use temporary.
    I'm pretty sure going to the chemist is fine? That is definitely a valid reason to go out of your 5km radius, to get some medications that's not available within 5km of your home.

    You put in your destination, it gives you the route and let's you know if police were reported along that route. So you can select other route options without police.

    If police turn up along the way, it gives you a warning about 500m before.

    Much better than the police scanners back in the old days. Getting caught with one of those was a whole lot of trouble.

    Yes definitely, Waze is surprisingly accurate in terms of reporting police on your route. I use it all the time, not that I am trying to avoid them.

    This worked for me, I had a script and said it wasn't available near me but was told to go here.
    Just have your story straight and know where you're going.

    For me it's always avoiding speeding fines. Waze is great for speed cameras plus mobile speed cameras reported as visible police.

    Agree with you mate. All the desks in my home are from IKEA. After buying two office chairs from office works which did not last I refuse to buy furniture from them. My advice was to avoid getting fined and manage with a temporary one. After all we don’t think much spending $100-200 on a ML. The fine will hurt for much longer.

    Taking about office chairs. If someone is interested you can look at this site. I bought 2 chairs in the last 3 years. The first one still looks great and comfortable.

    You'll need to know where the late night chemists are located. Make sure you have the script with you, and make sure it is newly dated; it might be hard to convince the cop that a 3 or 4 day old one is suddenly "urgent".

    An older script with 5 repeats is even better.

    You can attend an interview or assessment for work which cannot take place at your home. I would get a letter from the prospective employer backing up that you have a face to face interview.

    How does Waze notify you of police ?

    It’s never done that for me when using it

    I use it via Android Auto.

    It flashes Police and the distance on the screen. Just like speed/red light cameras.

    Maybe it's the version you're using?

    Even the police can't hide from big data! 🤣🤣 Something is connected and something is seeing that connection!

    Haha yeah
    Apparently WA Police were telling people not to use it but an app would be too hard to control.

    All depends on the cop, i would say its a reasonable excuse. They are mainly going after people who are making up reasons to just go out.

    You need an item for work, its not available within the 5km you need to pickup there.
    Have your story ready and the pictures of what your getting. I doubt they will fine you for that
