. So any bike that was parked & the keys left in it received a ticket. Regardless that the owner was sitting at a table in full view of it & about 8m away.

They obviously are trying hard to become a friendly & respected police force.[/QUOTE]

correct your virtually inciting thieft by leaving a vehicle with the keys in it, but why do it anyway? you wont get insurrance if its nicked with the keys in it either defects, dunno but from qld pol.
(i) self clearance defect. A self clearance defect is any defect that does not significantly affect the overall safety of the vehicle, e.g. inoperable number plate light, inoperable windscreen wipers detected when it is not raining, cracked tail light or brake light lens, inoperable warning device, inoperable headlight detected during daylight hours, etc. which does not require that any repairs or rectification be inspected;
(ii) minor defect. A minor defect is any defect which does not significantly affect the overall safety of the vehicle but which requires that any repairs or rectification be inspected;
(iii) major defect. A major defect is any defect which renders the vehicle unsafe, e.g. excessive body rust, steering mechanism, brakes, etc; and
(iv) major dangerous defect. A major dangerous defect is any defect which renders the vehicle unsafe to such an extent that it is necessary to immediately prohibit the use of the vehicle on a road.
so there is an a option of tow away for serious defects and get it inspected within(?) days for little things (like dodgy mudguards) I would think there are a few things going on here, the bikes that had to be towed had more than one issue (not just mudguards cause that would be either self fix or present for inspection) and there have been many many complaints from the public about bikes in the area.
