My mate who's a jabber had a 302 in a 66 falcon as his Police car.
Pre hoon days now, but he baited ppl to drag, then ping You're nicked son
That black SS ute has RM Williams bull horns on the back window which hides the lights there's also a black tradies ute with canopy they use as
a cash box car with camera in the back, they use it from Brisvegas to Gympie, and you think the dogs sneecky
And they tell us that speed cameras aren't revenue raising. Why be so sneaky?
And they tell us that they just want people to slow down. Why be so sneaky??Quote:

I don't live in the area but spend a lot of time there and in the last 8 years I've come across numerous accidents and five fatalities, there of these were bikers.
Forgive me for not understanding but none of those reasons are soley speed related? How is having a camouflaged speed camera going to save you from hitting someone thats parked in the middle of the road??Quote:

Hey mate - I think what Apollofish was getting at was that anything that improves safety is a good thing. Camouflaged/hidden police - I don't really have an issue with - if I speed - and I get caught - well that's my fault. Just because I see them in time if they are marked doesn't mean I am doing wrong. I don't think it stings any more or less if you get done - whether the police are out there with flashing lights or hiding behind trees!
My favourite disguise is right around the corner from where I work - the police sit hidden amongst trees - and they use a 10 year old van...... I reckon the speed camera cost more than the van!

I've been told they have also used taxi's to bbok people in the woolongong area from friends that live there.
I don't have a problem with them hiding either, even tho i have been booked countless times i take it on the chin coz i'm in the wrong and they're only doing their job most of the time. I don't like the fact that SOME copers off duty street race and when they are on duty they lag you in and do you over or pull you up to see what you are running !!
