Victoria Police make outrageous discovery after pulling a man over in a Toyota Camry without number plates

A routine police stop has shown the dangers of driving while high on drugs, particularly if your car is unregistered and especially if you have a very strange excuse.

A Victoria Police officer recently pulled over a Toyota Camry without number plates in Shepparton, filming the encounter for the popular Channel Nine Show RBT.

The officer said: ‘I just saw the Toyota Camry driving down a street with no number plates fixed to the vehicle, so I just decided to pull it over to see what was going on.’

The officer approached the driver, Mohammad, and asked if he had been drinking alcohol. Mohammad replied that he had not.

But when the officer requested a drug test, Mohammad admitted to smoking methamphetamine.

The officer replied, ‘Mate, you’re not allowed to have methamphetamine and drive a car.’

It seemed like an unarguable fact, but the 33-year-old had other ideas, saying, ‘But I have permission for Covid research,’ and that former Prime Minister Scott Morrison had gave him permission.

Ignoring the weird justification, the officer asked him how much methamphetamine he had taken

‘Half, something like that. Half a gram. Yeah, maybe I smoked something like that,’ he replied. ‘This is medicine for me.’

Not only was his car unregistered, he also had no licence. Add methamphetamine to the mix, and he was in serious trouble.

To check his sobriety or otherwise, the officer got Mohammad to run a medical swab around his mouth and then tested it.

‘The second test shows that you’ve got methamphetamine in your system,’ the officer said.

At this point, the gravity of the situation seemed to finally be getting through to  Mohammad.

‘Methamphetamine. I need to go to court?’ he asked. 

‘You may have to go to court. Yeah. Do you understand that,’ the policeman said.

He nodded his head and said he understood, as the seriousness of his position started to show on his face. 

The officer said: ‘You’ve been spoken to a number of times by the police for not having the car registered and for not having a licence’, which Mohammad agreed with.

The policeman did, however, see the funny side of the encounter, saying to the camera that ‘he’s going to have to go to court, and explain to the magistrate that Scott Morrison gave him permission to take methamphetamines’.

Mohammad then told the office that he was ‘so sorry’ for what he had done.

‘Well, I’m sorry too, because we’re gonna take your car off you,’ the policeman replied. ‘Two warnings already, you’ve had. Two warnings.’

Clutching at straws, a smiling and quite spoken Mohammad asked if he could ‘please’ just get another warning, but was told ‘No, I can’t. I’m sorry’.

‘I also can’t. I’m so sorry,’ he replied.

When driver Mohammad (pictured) was stopped in Shepparton, Victoria, the police officer told him ‘Mate, you’re not allowed to have methamphetamine and drive a car’

Again addressing the camera, the officer said, ‘The most important thing is he not going to have a car to drive for the next 30 days.

‘So he’ll have a little bit of time to have a think about what he’s done today.’

With what was happening finally getting through to Mohammad, he opened up about the difficulty he was having with his drug addiction.

‘Methamphetamine is what I used before. But if you ask me to stop this, I’m trying to fix this most important, because it gave me a lot of problems …

‘I’m sorry I f***** up crazy. I tell you (methamphetamine is) not good for people. It can damage brain, you know? No good,’ he said. 

The police put Mohammad in touch with treatment and support services.
