Hi outbackjack 1 & woodsy,
Most of the Permits are free.
Sometimes they can be a hassle to obtain.
We always get them, if you need help & you haven't got one you will be looked upon as doing the wrong thing.
We were asked for our Permit in a very obnoxious way by an ABPO at
Warburton W.A.
I thought I wouldn't get it back for a while but after some discussion with this person I got it back and with an apology.
I will get a copy next time so I still have one.
I thought that they had no right to demand to see it. I'm happy to show them but never usually have to.
I think your
Police were bored & you were the tourist.
Same happened to us sort of, he pulled us over cause he couldn't
see our number plate because of the Jerry can until his partner told him it was on the Jerry can. He breath tested hubby with a very embarrassed face..
I don't know if
Police have the right to ask to see your Permit. I have found that in some permits that they exclude the very thing you are going there to see.
Take care, safe travels Ma.
