Police Blitz - Outer Se Suburbs

[Wheezy]

Since last night I have seen quite a large number of undercover Traffic Cops, marked units etc.

Radar guns are out in force from what I have seen.

Not sure if they are after defects also.

For example, I saw two cars (one unmarked, one marked) within two streets of each other in Lakeside Pakenham.

Drive safely out there

Arrived on my usual spot on princes hwy on fri to find it was nice n busy. 5 mins later after some bikes did burnouts I saw bout 5 people get pulled over and the cops blocked both driveways of the servo I was at. All plates recorded. Lucky for me I chose not to drive that nite. Stopped by again on sat n absolutly noone around lol I think they got the point

We have more staff on as holidays over so we are running traffic cars most days. I would say that most stations in same position so more out and about. We are running plate recognition days in next few weeks also which will be interesting.

I am almost becoming a professional drink driver processer as almost eveyone I pull over lately is pissed. Have had 4 repeat offenders all more than 3 times limit in last month. One also disqualified and driving unregistered car and almost ran us off road 3 times in police car. In his mind he did nothing wrong and told me off as I verbalised my disgust for him in no uncertain terms.

Thats pretty f**king bad. One of my dads mates was like that, even went to jail for 3 months after being done for multiple (more than 15) drink driving offences. He still drink drives to this day and actually encourages others to do the same. Retards... so many of them.

1. Why not be proactive and roster more staff into the CBD at night (IE thursday, friday, saturday, sunday nights) That is four shifts that can be spent for the betterment of society. Or is it a case of jurisdiction, paperwork and easier prey?

I am in no way condoning drink driving and speeding around school zones, but from the presence I have seen 2 streets from my house the word I have is "overkill" and that is an understatement.

2. Sounds like the car is not coming out of my garage unless its on the trailer.

yeah, saw heaps of po around yesterday... makes sense now i spose

Plate recognition is the computer software and camera that automatically checks every registration that passes and then runs checks on the owner. So it shows up all unregistered, unlicensed, suspended/disqualified, warrants and whereabouts. I have heard that sometimes having 10 members just to hand out fines and deal with other things that arise isn't enough.

In relation to having more members in city fri/sat nights we still run safe streets which adds 50-100 extra police in city and we have started new area ORU that will have a couple of hundred members tasked for these high crime area's. Then again that's not extra members in force, its stations losing members to go there.

The sherrifs use plate recognition the the states n they seem to work quite well. Once a plate comes up with a default the computer screams out pull over so the officer then gets out n issues the fine/notice/etc. Considering I've met people with thousands of dollars owing in fines I think it's only fair they get caught.

As for what Graeme said bout cops in the CBC, the past few weekends I've walked around n there has literally been a cop on every corner. Never felt more safe in the city

not having a crack @ the resident po po here.. but it certainly pays better handing out traffic infringements/defects left right and centre and so much easier

I'm in agreement with you on putting more on duty in the city at night, but the amount of dangerous driving I see around my area more cops would be a blessing. The more visible they are hopefully the less people will drive like wankers.

So if my car get's snapped and they see my past mistakes (IE. I have done my time) I will be pulled over 110%, correct me if I am wrong here?

That new trailer is sounding better every day

They were trialing these cameras in my area late last year. From what I understand they target people with outstanding warrants, no registration, owner of a car has a cancelled license etc. They're not aimed at catching people with previous convictions/problems, just current ones. I could be wrong on that though.
