"Don't commit two crimes at once". On the evening walk yesterday I spot a parked car with people throwing litter out the window onto the nature strip. I take a photo but don't confront them. I later check the rego on vicroads, the rego doesn't match the make/model. Fuck litterers. I submit a crimestoppers report of suspicious activity with the photo. On the morning walk a tow truck and cop car are taking the car away. If they didn't litter, I wouldn't have checked the rego or bothered to submit it to crimestoppers.

Same advice for speeding when you're carrying an illegal cargo. Obey ALL road rules without exception, and don't get sprung using your phone.

Be sober, don't speed, have drug car in roadworthy condition.

Always funny to see a cop show, where they pull over some beat up late model Holden, with bald tyres, that was speeding through a red light. Only to find gear, cash and paraphernalia inside and the driver arguing that cops should be catching real criminals.

Years ago I drove unlicensed (license expired, couldn't book a test soon enough, but still had to drive...reasons not excuses...it was wrong) and it made be the best driver. No speeding. No stupid shit.

Make sure all that paint you just stole from work isn’t leaking and leaving a perfect drip trail to your house
