Tomic is in Trouble With Local Police |

Bernard Tomic, Australia’s great hope of restoring tennis glory to the once dominant nation, is in trouble with the Queensland police for traffic offences committed in Surfers Paradise while the 19 year-old was driving a $150,000 BMW sports car on a probationary license.

In Australia such practices are colloquially referred to as ‘hooning’; driving in a manner that is anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, fast, noisy and/or dangerous. Queensland legislation, passed in 2000, allows police officers to impound the vehicles involved in proscribed offences such as street racing, time trials and burnouts.

Tomic has a special exemption from Queensland’s Department of Transport that allows him to drive the bright orange V8-powered vehicle to and from his practice and training facilities. He was pulled up at traffic lights on Sunday night after he was allegedly seen hooning.

However Tomic was insistent: “I didn’t speed. I didn’t do any of that stuff. The car’s very loud, but I don’t know what the police officer defines as hooning.”

Tomic alleged he was being victimized by one specific officer, whom he would not name. “He doesn’t like me for some reason. He’s always on my tail,” he said. “I think it’s really bad. I haven’t done a thing wrong. I just go about my business as a tennis player.

“Being pulled over scared me a bit, to be honest. He’s pulled me over a few times, but now it’s starting to get a little bit more aggressive.”
