Something Weird Happened Today...

[XRDOSE]

was driving down beach rd heading towards the city today probably cruising at about 60-80kph most of the way except for the odd squirt to pass the slow pokes and bike riders (yes I know the speed limit is 60), anyway I noticed a black mazda CX-7 sorta keeping up....didnt think much of it really. Got to a more congested part of beach rd almost into st kilda and the CX-7 pulls up next to me, beeps so I looked and the guy in the car wearing a suit flashed a cop badge...thought here we go im fked...then he cut me off and I thought he wanted me to pull over but he just cut another couple of cars off and boogied off down the road. Do u guys think he was just flashing his badge to say hey let me through im a cop or do u think I should expect a fine or a visit from the blue boys sometime soon?

I'm pretty sure they have to pull you over to fine you don't they?

[MRDOSE]

Sounds like he was just being a f*ckwit or it was my mate and his Special Constable badge he uses on P platers hahaha

That sorta schitte can end up in big trouble - if you'd have reported the rego number number and what he was doing, he'd be up on a charge by now. Impersonating Constable Plod is NOT a smart move....

Mate, I dont think id be to worried...

Had a very similar thing happen in George St in Sydney one night a few years back.

Was a chicky all of about 24yo in a little beaten up datsun (from memory). Full of girls, thought they were pissed. Pulls up beside me - sticks her head out the window and starts yelling at me to put the window down. I do so and she goes slow down mate - I look over and said excuse me, then she flicks out a badge, I looked and said sorry but I dont believe you know what your talking about. Its a 50km zone after hours and im in a bus lane which is clear after the hours of 7.30 pm (or whatever it was).

She then looks at me and goes dont get smart... I asked what speed I was doing and she goes well over 50. Advised I was not and lights went green, then just turned off...

Complete bullsh*t mate - im sure its either a tool pig just being exactly that... TOOL PIG... (rather then a officer of the law).. or prob more likely just a faker...

I hope you got the rego and documented what he was doing.... Might be worthwhile reporting it before you get dicked. Or just let it go and hope for the best! Thinking about it probably the later. I would say he would have to issue a ticket. If off duty unlikely you would get anything in the mail unless it was a little more than said! They have enough paper work at work let alone trying to explain off duty stuff unless real serious!

[GR8XR6]

Unlikely you will see a ticket if he didn't see your id. Unless he is really pissed at you. Just a warning to slow down most likely.
