I haven't been defected by the 10+ officers that have looked under my bonnet either, with a defectable Pod filter and defectable Atmospheric BOV, it totally depends on the mood of the officer and the attitude you show to him.
Remember, when your pulled over, the attitude test starts even before the cop gets out of the car.

Don't feed him that rubbish Brian, no matter what you say the REAL determining factor is WHERE YOU LIVE.
Just because you have sucked cock and weaseled your way out of a defect here and there doesn't mean that all drivers don't have to worry so long as they remember to swallow.
In Vic, I was turned down on 3 seperate occasions at the EPA by 3 different guys with the BFI, it's not standard so it doesn't pass, The BFI was the reason I got sent there in the beginning, the cops saw it and said it wasn't standard and that was that.
Having said that, I gave up on the dodgy BFI shortly after that and went straight for a full inclosed pod filter with scoops in a professional looking black metallic box and cops haven't said anything about it since.

Victoria is definitely the "nanny" state. They hate imports, hate loud bikes, and basically hate anyone who has a propensity for making themselves noticed in any way.
Also, Melbourne is better than the country. Sometimes they'll turn a blind eye or let you off because it's too much like hard work. There's no such thing as a decent cop here in Bendigo, which is why I'd never put a body kit or stupidly large and loud exhaust on a car. Thank my lucky stars I don't like body kits on Soarers... otherwise you'd get every arsehole cop in town pulling you over for a free roadworthy. Doesn't exactly help that Bendigo is the "hoon capital" of Victoria either...
