November 7, 201411 yr #1 Hi Guys,What's the most unusual unmarked cop car you've seen?On the way home from work this week, I saw a black Nissan X-Trail. Not hard to spot as he had nabbed somebody and his lights on.A dumb mistake. Accelerating down the onramp onto James Ruse, I saw a blue Hyundai vacate the left lane (that I needed to merge into). I didn't spot the almost identical blue buzz box behind him (who had decided not to vacate the left lane). One more. Hearing the sirens, I slowed approaching a green light to let the ambo through. And then I proceeded. The cops came barrelling into the intersection close behind the ambos. I assumed one emergency vehicle not two. Oops!PAH
November 7, 201411 yr #2 Was stuck behind one slow person in the left lane another one boxing me in the in the right lane.. Right lane one turned off so I pulled into the right lane and booted it in second, got a bit through third and came up behind a Late model camira rather fast and braked.. Then I noticed the little light bar in the back window and the two guys staring at me in the mirrorssh*t my pants but they did nothing, probably detectives or something
November 7, 201411 yr #3 Not unusual to see x-trails and camrys with light bars in the windows around Perth...
November 8, 201411 yr #4 A few weeks ago I got pulled over by a Hyundai Elantra. Not really a car that I would normally look out for.
November 8, 201411 yr #5 A regular subaru impreza hatch. Not a wrx. And a plain 4wd Toyota hilux. You just can't spot them these days. Except for the XR6Ts with a huge aerial hanging off the qtr panel. See them a mile off.
November 8, 201411 yr #7 Mitsubishi 380.. Let a loud of fark wrx slide through an intersection with it sitting patiently at a red light.Soon there were more colours than red..
November 9, 201411 yr #8 There was a black Evo 9 years ago around gouldburn that was hwp, cause I saw it with lights and sirens going chasing someone down
November 9, 201411 yr #9 Local top brass down here drives a Camry. All the aerials give it away though.
November 9, 201411 yr #10 I've seen lots of Hyundai's and Sh!tsubishis around my area. I was speaking to a retired detective a little while ago about this subject and he said that for every marked police car you see on the road there is about 10 un-marked ones, weather it be highway patrol, detectives, drug squad, specialist crime unit or someone a little higher up. He also mentioned that depending on the unit and within reason they are not really allowed to pull people over for minor traffic offences and expose a covert vehicle.
