New Undercover Cop Cars and stuff

[diamondjo]

this thread is turning into a spot the undercover cop thread.

maybe we could give them their own "Spotted Thread" lol

Fantasic idea AFTAMATH,

I'm all for that, it would be more useful than the current vanilla spotted thread.

Hows about it Administrators... Dan?

A bit off topic - but a cop is always a cop... as in they can still deal with you when they are off duty. They just get your details and send you a summons later.

Absolutely, They have a duty of care that requires their action off duty. What they cant do is make an accurate determination regarding the absolute speed of a vehicle. An officer can say that you were driving recklesly but not that you were doing 101 in an 80. Well i mean an officer could say it but any competent representation would make short work of that in a court room

".... I look up out the window and there is an orange bus FULL of police in uniform, it was like "ummm.. Richard" Then later we had a laugh how funny it would look if he were pulled over by a bus!

"Special Bus"

I wont attempt to speak for the Adminsitrators but personaly shouldnt we be trying to put a law abiding face to our scene. Surely the better the PR between import owners and the Plods the less harrasment there will be and therefore the Police can spend more of their time chasing junkie thieves and kiddie fiddlers...were's the love Diamondjo???weres the love?

[dan_the_man]

Agreed. This thread is borderline as it is. We dont want police coming on here and thinking we are trying to get a list of all the under cover cars there are in an attempt to flout the road rules

8005TED, I purposefully didn't post his plates so that he wouldn't get in trouble but bit late now anyway, this was like 2 years ago!

Its a contentious issue I agree, however I think there is something inherantly wrong with undercover cars. Using marked cars creates a presence, using unmarked cars has an element of sneakiness about it.

Mr Keets, your soccer-momish "Oh won't somebody please think of the children" will get you nowhere with me

I agree that unmarked cars creates an air of deceit in regards to the police, the same as hiding multinovas. Having all the cars marked and all cameras CLEARLY signed would be more of a deterrent than hiding them. Now there is talk of FAKE cameras as a deterrent.. if it was that important to them to use the cameras as a deterrent instead of a revenue raising tool, then they should make the REAL cameras BLATANTLY OBVIOUS.
