well then to me thats a little odd , it's all second hand hearsay and really best left to those that had first hand knowledge. been there seen all this and I know that everytime there was more to the story
The information I have is via approx 15 riders who are friends of mine who were there on the day. 3 of them were incorrectly defected
so 12 out of 15 were riding defectable bikes??? did i read that wrong? if I didnt this is why they are being targeted. I really cant see sticker glue damaging paint  but where should a sticker be put? there arent too many non painted surfaces on a bike
The cost of this was less than his insurance deductable & so didn't claim it. If he had claimed it I'd like to see how the insurance company went about getting their money back form the Police dept.
you cant claim for damage from a defect sticker removal, mostly because you would find your insurance void for the bike being unroadworthy (due to the sticker). Its pretty easy to apply for costs to the police and complain but as it seems none have I can only assume that there is more to it and the defects on a whole were deserved. I really think you have been led down a path by some unhappy people who got caught out....if not then they should grow some and stand up by making their complaints in person to Qld Pol, its not hard to do.

Let me make it more clear for you.
3 out of the 15 were incorrectly defected. The remaining 12 were not defected at all.
All 3 which received defect stickers were subsequently inspected & the defect notice removed without any remedial work being required. This is because the inspector was well aware of the requirements & all 3 bikes were 100% legal to be on the road.
The sticker could be put on the Stainless Steel exhaust, or the glass headlight, or on the windscreen.
Any of which are in as easy reach as the painted fuel tank.
Why can't the damage be claimed??
The bike did not have a defect of any kind as proven by the subsequent inspection & removal of the defect notice without ANY remedial work required to be done to the bike.
Therefore it's proven that the bike was incorrectly defected in the first place.
This case, if worthwhile being taken to court, could easily be proven that the bike was incorrectly defected & therefore the damage caused by the placement of the sticker should never have happened
