i rolled out of the mt gravatt cemetery and i spot an undercover cop and a marked bike cop at the entrance with their radars. they were pulling speeders INTO the cemetery.

i thought this was completely stupid and a bit rude :\ couldn't do it down the road or something?


spoiler: to spot an undercover police car, look for the dash mounted lights. easy.

is that an undercover gti VW with personalised plates?

they always there mate... getting people coming down the hill.

ive seen those plates on a SV6 in the same area too a while ago

seen a black / dark blue GTI aswell when he pulled over a 32GTR when trying to race a HSV down beaudesert rd... was funny

I have seen those plates on the SV6 too and there is cops there at the cemetery like every 2 weeks

I have a Mate with a 2008 WRX. He was Cruising up over the samford Range a few weeks ago and there was a Silver VW golf GTI behind him RIGHT up his bum.. Eventually he came to a passing lane and went to pass a truck that was infront of him.. The VW Still right up behind him as he went to pass this truck.. so he thought "gee this guy must be in a hurry, ill pass the truck and then get back over in the left hand lane so he can get past... so he floored it.. 3 seconds later... Flashing lights from the Golf.. lolz

meh its just stupid doing it there imo

and i asume they own the cars? or something?

i doubt the police just go out and buy random cars and put the same plate on it or something.

confusing..

obviously this particular cop shop owns the plates and are just putting them on the new cop cars as they get them... im sure they would catch alot of people out with having them.

and the police traffic squad DO buy random cars of different makes all the time just to try and catch hoons out by the element of surprise. By the time everyone knows about them they have been auctioned off and have something else new thats unsuspecting!

just be weary of ANY new car... thats what I do... they could have anything now days

Mean/stupid? Bit of an overstatement.
They're doing their job. Don't speed, you won't get caught.
Though it is abit un-australian to set up a camera/radar in extremelly unsuspecting areas (unless it's high risk area)
There is a new road in maroochydore where I live (maroochy blvd, for those who know it)
And the limit is 60kph along there, where I feel travelling 80kph would be a much more comfortable speed.
Popo sit there with their radar fairly regularly getting people.
Fair enough it's the limit, but seriously. It's not like there's road works or anything. Not the slightest bit dangerous

that gti even has frangipani stickers on the back (left hand side)

how can you see the stickers?

Have fun getting pulled over by the popo cars that don't have the dash mounted lights then

They are hardly pulling people into the cemetery. They are using an area off to the side of the road. Better end up getting the ticket than IN the cemetery

I beleive those plates came off another unmarked car... a black done up commodore that use to hang out at Mt gravatt.

just reading through the recent posts

those cop cars are quite common. i was at my local cop shop at slacks creek a few weeks ago courtisy of a GTi ... i was taken to the cop shop in one so i can promise they are around

and there were 3 GTis parked there all with Personalised Plates. they arnt the same plates they all differ slightly

ive seen a black ss commo, a black vw gti, a red/ maroon toyota kluger and a black hummer gettin around and they all had lights next to the number plates, so there not all in the windows.

I have seen some vehicle mounted speed cameras in unmarked 4wd's and mercedes vito vans no sign on the footpath or anything and they were taking happy snaps. i feel that if they can deliberately hide like that which is obvious revenue raising i should be allowed to conceal at least one of my number plates from the angle they take the pics. i called the local pig pen and they seem to believe that an unmarked speed camera is perfectly legal somehow i doubt this very much.

its pretty simple dont speed and you wont get caught

Up in toowoomba they have a 300c unmarked car. It has the red and blue lights where its foglights would have been. Funny story though, I put a new boost controler in and was driving around to adjust it right and I pulled over and poped the bonnet to adjust it. Get back in the car and see this cop in the 300c 200m up the road standing next to his car. I thought he was there waiting for me but then I drove off and he had pulled up a bogan spec VN and was rbt-ing him. Cop stared me down as I drove past though.

Got this off the net, so yes they are legal in what they are doing

Road Safety
Mr GRAY: My question without notice is also directed to the Minister for Police, Corrective
Services and Sport. Minister, I refer to the increases in fines for traffic offences announced by the state
government today and outlined by the Premier this morning. Can the minister outline how these will help
police tackle our road toll and improve road safety?
Ms SPENCE: There have been 283 fatalities on our roads this year. While that is actually 32 less
than on this day last year, 283 people have died on Queensland roads, and many of those deaths could
have been avoided with safer driving practices—not all but many of them. That is why we are committed
to getting Queenslanders to stop drink driving, to stop speeding and to obey our traffic rules, and that is
why we make no apologies for putting up these fines. One of the good things that we are doing with this
increased revenue is employing an additional 106 traffic police who will be employed and put on our
roads over the next two years. This will be on top of the 700 police that we recruit each year to cater for
growth and attrition. So this is an additional 106 police that we are announcing today, and I know that
that announcement is very welcomed by our Queensland Police Service.
As well as our extra police officers, we are also going to buy 30 additional hand-held laser speed
detection devices on top of the 234 replacement devices that I announced in October. We are also going
to buy 16 mobile radar detection devices, another 12 micro digicam tripod mounted speed detectors and
eight more Qcars—that is, doubling the number of Qcars, and that will be an additional Qcar to every
region in Queensland. So if a person is speaking on their mobile phone in the car, they should be
prepared to be pulled over by the Honda Civic or the four-wheel drive next to them because it could be
police in a Qcar. We will also buy an additional 12 motorcycles.
Besides that—and I am warning people about this—we are going to trial three unmarked speed
camera vans in three regions in the state, and those regions have been chosen because they have the
worst road tolls. They are the South Eastern Region, the Southern Region and the North Coast Region.
This means that police decals and logos will be removed from our existing speed camera vans. People
should not expect to be warned. In the future, people should not expect to see that they are going
through a radar site. We are going to take those markings away.All of these measures have been suggested to the government by our Queensland police officers
as things that we should do to help them reduce our road toll. There is one message today to all
Queenslanders: if you are going to continue to speed, then you are more likely than ever to be picked up
by our police and be fined for that bad driving behaviour. As the Premier said, we have to make
speeding the most unacceptable thing that people can do on the road.

Might want to check your facts and stop watching Today Tonight.

ROCK ON
R~R

the ryw22 were on a blue commodore sv6 then he upgreaded to that car (gti) but have only been on theoise two carz, he always pulls me over, but any way they stand for "RUN YOU WANKERZZ"

more and more sneeky

had that golf pull me over on the gate way... just for a licence check n shit.. . and it aint the only one with personalized plates.. there is a hummer aswell.. on west side with hum 0 something

It makes it really hard to determine if they are legite police cars, if i had one try and pull me over at night with my family in the car I wouldnt stop. Some random car with Personalised plates and flashing lights, id keep driving........

too many storys going around of late about fake police cars etc

neither would i, too easy to get some lights and a siren, i picked up both for 40 bucks.

Spot on

they r alwais there

Yeh a guy i know has, fake flashing lights installed in his headlights and a siren... he pulls over kids, its funny az... but poor kid who shat his pants.

I can say first hand it all works. Got done by the black gti on tuesday. I knew the car existed, simply passed him just above the speed limit, as I was passing him thought maybe thats the car, but nah, couldnt be has a fulcrum suspension sticker on the rear window..learnt the hard way. Although its legal, I think its completely un-ethical, almost like "big brother" is watching our every move.

one thing i learnt many years ago from a driving instructor when i was attaining my truck licence, was that if a vehicle is attempting to pull you over, and you reasonably suspect that the vehicle may not be a police vehicle, then you should continue to drive and stop at the nearest police station. i don't know how you'd go if you were to actually do this, but my instructor at the time was warning of trucks that had been jacked of their loads - smokes/grog - through this very practice, of fake police vehicles.

when did you install the zoom function on your rear vision mirror?

--

I don't get it... why does everyone whine about being caught doing something illegal?

james dean fuck up lol honestly i was just driving home and get pulled over and got defected for the most retarded things like no rubber on break pedal like wdfffffff go fuckin catch some drink drivers or some @#$! robbing a bank lol

hehehe not pull over for a cop , love to c how that turns out.
i was on my way back from brizzy when a new black liberty rims tint looked smick . stayed with me for ages . kept trying to race me but luckily when he first was coming up i seen the lights that are at the sun visors .bit later down the road though he got one guy that had a go. felt sorry for him but i always check for those lights best way to tell

yeah they are getting more crafty. i havent seen it....but i have heard from a few ppl that they occasionally bring the big guns out. boss's father in law went to munchies a few months back, plenty of guys fooling around. one fella took off and smoked it up, and at the same time an oldschool blue pontiac trans am rumbled through the park. had a blower out the bonnet lookin tough, soon as he saw the fella doin a burnout, on came the flashing lights. but they have them hidden under the front bar. supposedly cruises the highways occasionally. not sure if its true or not, but have heard more and more about it.

Cops can drive other cars, but the car has to be legal. Hanging a blower out the bonnet as far as I know is illegal.

.... pics or it never happened

I have a friend who was very recently charged for doing exactly that.
didn't pull over because the person trying to pull them over didn't really seem to be acting like a cop, he was driving like a dick, pulling up beside them and screaming at them to pull over and at one stage swerving at them. The chick driving the car drove herself to the police station and was tackled and cuffed when she got out of the car. She was also charged for talking on her phone while driving because she was trying to ring the police station and tell them what was going on while she was driving there. To make things worse a taxi driver that saw all this going on and tried to be a hero and help the cops by trying to cut her off and caved in the side of her car at the same time

Well guys, i got pulled over by a Black GTI Golf
booked me doin 130 on the Bruce
he took the radar reading with one hand while tryin to catch me in a SRT8 Jeep
also pulled over with me a early model merc booked him for 20"wheels
Try justifie that, we cant talk on a mobile phone but he filmed me and got a radar reading while doin 130

Then to make thing worst the next day i seen a SRT8 300c gun metal grey do a u turn on the Bruce and start flashing red and blue
thats a fact!!!!!!

yeah can see the GPS looking thing in the windscreen weird car for undercover cop

There was also a black ute with stickers all over it, looking a bit run down that pulled someone over in mount crosby. I always see the blue camry's on the warrago. Though a cemetary is a a bit tacky.

the cops are tricky @#$!s with the gti n ppq

How are the methods mentioned here any different to the police who go on the net and pose as teenage girls or boys and then organise a meet up with the paedophiles?

I am not stating that there's NOT a difference between car defect/speeding enforcement and catching sex predators,however the methodology is the same.

Is it not?

OMG! i got done speeding in that exact spot the other day... fucken pigs, got me 93 in a 60 coming down that hill (mains road Nathan) got $600 fine n 6 points (now 1 pt for a year cuz im on P plates) =( but in the end... lesson learnt haha! its a nice slow drive for the next year!

NOTE TO EVERYONE: WATCH OUT FOR SPEED CAMERA ON MAINS ROAD AS YOU COME OF KESSELS ROAD DOWN THE HILL SPEED LIMIT = 60KPH! NOT 93

saw an under cover patrol this weekend who'd pulled over a bike, it didn't have any dash mounted lights like the rest do.......

they use that spot all the time from what ive noticed been past there a few times when its happen, and its dickish too because the raod is heading down hill so they caught more people

how aobut they use there time busting drug dealers n child offenders n leave the public alone for once, i cant even go for a cruse on mt nebo without the cops pulling me over n stating that its only a RTB plus then a random drug search of me n the car bloody idiots

lol @ the spoiler. New undercover cop cars have tinted windows so you wont see the lights. ive noticed most undercover cars actually have 2 or more entenas. so ders a spoiler.

fark i thought i was seein things couple months ago, theres a known spot down here in nsw on the highway where there is a set of lights then about 200mtrs of road where its a 60 zone then turns into a 80 zone, this is where most of the people get caught

i was travelling here when a black gti wasnt tailgating but was close enough where i constantly was checkin in the mirror and also saw that the right lane was free if he wanted to overtake but he didnt, i swear i saw blue and red lights flash but he didnt pull me or anyone else over, once we got into the 80 zone he just overtook me and went off

there is a undercovers cop with a darker silver vw going around toowong see him every arvo as u said the lights on the dash ect give it away!

i know there is a stock new maroon red lancer cop car booking people over pine rivers bridge,

as for the different cars....

my brother works for the company that have the air con contracts for the police and he is at there yards all the time....

new mazda 3, black golfs, wrx 4x4s and others being decked out as well as older cars, its some kind of lease system where they have them for a while

A couple of them have RYW on plate. Im told it means Ruin Your Week. watch out for RYD aswell-Ruin Your Day.

yeah i know the spot it feels like it takes forever to get from the lights at the top of the hill to woolworths turnoff
