Especially those in the general western suburbs area, a highway patrol in a unmarked red Ford FPV Typhoon with green P's on has been seen on numerouse occasions, and he will go you of the lights. just got home from WSID n he raced a car of the lights and calmly pulled in behind him..

Personally im F***n jealose... id LOVE to be in a FPV highway patrol catchin hoons, but jsut a warning to good drivers whos can slip over.

Police luring and provoking people to speed is not good policing. What if a major accident occurs or someone is killed from this bahaviour ???

Just another thing to show it's all about the dollars and the targets....

On a seperate note I see police cars breaking the law at least a few times a week. I have seen mobile phone usage, speeding, failing to indicate, even a burnout just to name a few.

Most of the police are fine but there are always that odd few who spoil their reputation...

oh n the windows a blacked out so you cant see em unless the windows down or if you see the flashing lights behind you..

please correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not illegal for officers to egg-on other drivers? or try and trap them... a little something called 'entrapment'???

that's what I thought till I resently read another thread on ere iv been tryn to find.. apparently now theyv been givin extra owers to drive done u cars with plates and also old bombs to catch speeders n I guess by doin that your givin em the power to do it... personally I think its low.. especially cuz I jus fitted my turbosmart megasonic show off valve n if a tinted PHOON pulled u next to me id let him hear it... n BAM! defect.

translation:

Yes Police do have the authority to use unmarked vehicles........

im quite awar of that.. but with p plates? dude that just dusn seem right..

There is no "entrapment" laws in this country.

I am sure if you videoed a cop trying to street race you, the forum of public opinion would not condone this type of policing, especially if on some trash show like TT or ACA.

I guess that police are trying to stop street racing and traffic light GPs. They have been using unmarked cars with P plates for as long as I can remember.

I guess you just need to be sus of any P plater driving a $50k+ car, or just do not street race.

With all the recent media hype about hoons and elderly people being killed by street racing, I expect the cops will be doing a lot more of this covert policing.

while where on topic

ive heard about rubbish bins with cameras in them , you guys seem more experienced so any word on them, its probably like a old school thing from 10 years ago im guessing

Theres also that goldy metallic coloured typhoon around the hoxton park area. Thursday when I went to do my V8 race drive session it was sitting infront of the Speed camera on cowpasture road with a marked hwp XR6T & 8 bikes.

On the way home VZ SS Ute on the back of a tray top getting towed away. Major defect for you
