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.

Which is generally what happens.... Medial release a photo along with a brief story about Police and hoons and before you know it there is some scrawny little pill popping kid kid 'claiming' he did nothing to deserve his 'rough up' by the local constabulary.....
