Undercover cop cars?

To your knowledge, has this sort of situation actually happened?

It's certainly not unreasonable for a driver to choose NOT to pull over when
an unmarked car is involved. The point about hijacking is quite relevant.
I wouldn't pull over for anyone unknown who flagged me down, unless it was a
marked police car.

Might be time to irritate certain parties by mentioning the Clear Direction
To Stop matter.
Again.
It's fun ignoring party lights and stupid antics from stupid and
astonishingly self-important oafs.

Drive to the nearest police station.

Explain how you were afraid that they werent legit etc

 

thats interesting because you dont have to pull over if you can put
reasonable doubt on it that it might not be a cop you can drive to the
nearest public place (ie service station etc) and then pullover

 

There was an unmarked Kia Carnivale being used in Albury. I felt sorry

No, not HWP. I've seen this car doing at least 80 through the centre of
town, with full lights and sirens.

I've also seen it being used on a saturday night, rounding up a rowdy drunk.
The officers sprayed him, and then he was put into the back of a divvy van.

Look at the case currently on, I know its not related to police actions but
the Falconia case where they were pulled over and then you know the rest.

 

Never happened to me before and I had exclusive use of a covert car for
about 7 years ay one stage. The only ones who won't pull over are those who
have something to hide (stolen vehicle, disqual, warrants) or indeed women
drivers who simply don't look in the mirrors because it's adjusted to
reflect their own image and must have the CD up too loud. I honestly drove
behind my ex gfs mother from Camden to Oakdale (approx 17kms) once blasting
the horn, driving offset from her car and flashing my headlights to hand her
something before she got all the way home. She got all the way home.

There probably wouldn't be an issue with doing that. If it was a short
distance you'd get there I guess but a longer drive would find marked
vehicles surrounding your vehicle before you got there.

 

Most people are intelligent enough to realise that if you're being pulled
over in a built up area with plenty of lighting and plenty of witnesses that
it's relatively safe to do as you're being asked. Police too, are concerned
about where they pull vehicles over. Generally speaking they will only pull
over a vehicle where we have plenty of light and if that's not possible it
may be the case that we allow the offender to continue driving until we
reach a safe area. You have to remember, there are a lot more people out
there wishing to cause harm to police than there are those driving around in
cars pulling over innocent people with fake blue lights and sirens.

Lets get one thing clear about this "legal" tint stuff.

An unmarked vehicle was recently put over the pits by its own department and
the RTA stated quite clearly
"Why bother bringing it here. It is exempted and allowed to have these
modifications."

Dont bother asking me where it is or who passed it as it is not to be
disclosed, but I assure you, from first hand experience they are exempted
and can have all the tint they want

 

Pepper spray - Like dogs pissing on posts.

That stuff was sneaked into use *on the basis that it was a viable
alternative to using guns*
So, now we see the turds are spraying *drunks* with it.

Disgusting.
But gee - isn't it good that they didn't shoot the drunk.

See how the bracket creep of police powers goes?

You know that for sure without the use of a light meter? Remind me to never
use your services as a prosecution witness That entire window law is a
joke. You could have your windows painted black with Dulux and the Police
wouldn't be able to take action against you because we can't measure it.
BUT, the RTA ARE going to introduce a light meter test for this very thing
in the future along with emission testing on your exhaust system. Your
exhaust systems will then be tagged and those that aren't tagged or marked
with the appropriate confirmation of emission testing will be defected.
Goodbye to those Milo tins hanging out the back of the REX'S I'm afraid.

Apart from the fact that we're generally exempt from being prosecuted for
these kinds of things, you wouldn't have even mentioned the darkness issues
with windows until it concerned a Cop. You probably have darker windows
yourself or have family with them. Big deal.

No steel rims on an 'SS'.

racks.


Where did you hear that? Nothing could be further from the truth. BTW, watch
out for RTA covert cars in future. You thought you had issues with Police
covert vehicles.............)))))))))

Purely an objective observation. I had 5% tint on the rear and rear door
windows, max legal on the fronts. The window tint place that did it, said that
max legal is max legal, but you generally won't get bugged by police if it's a
commercial vehicle (mine was a light commercial 4WD ute).
They flatly refused to do 5% on the fronts because they said you'd get
stopped if police notice.

Rear cabin window was also 5%, as was the rear canopy door/window, but canopy
front window was black. I had a rearview camera installed so I can see
backwards. (everything was piled up to the roof so I couldn't see back even if
the windows were clear anyway).

Been stopped several times during the year or two that I had it and never had
the windows mentioned.

I thought they already had it, but similar to the smokey exhaust issue, they
wouldn't do anything except force you (within 30 days whatever) go to the EPA
(or RTA) for more testing.

Oh, so the EPA won't shoot first and ask questions later like they've been
doing so far?

Personally, used to, but see sedans every so often with (to keep you happy)
what looks like 5% (I had it so know what it looks like) all round. Parked
near our place were I pas every few days.

So, either it's an undercover car, or, the police never actaually police the
tint issue.

(shurg) read it in the papers many years ago where they used to drive up and
down the snow fields with them. Not that I'm complaining, we've been to the
snow a few times, and come across weirdos that are apparently exempt from the
normal laws of physics governing traction between ice and smooth rubber.

 

LMAO!

 

An unmarked Commodore floats around the Perth area wth a Spiderman
stuck to its rear rhs window, rug across the parcel shelf with toys on
it, seems to do a nice little trade in pulling people over.

 

Isn't that illegal?

Moike

 

um, doesnt this *known* list of attributes make it all that much
EASIER for a person to impersonate a police car???

 

Wrong..........it always was intended to be used as a safer alternative to
being belted with a spun aluminium baton. The capsicum spray is used as a
deterrent and works wonderfully well. It can be used over greater distances
than a hand held baton as well. On the other hand, our pistols were never
intended for deterring certain behaviours.

Drunks who are threatening Police or others with violence. 'Turds' is a bit
strong isn't it?

Toby, the angry little man who has obviously never met a real angry man
before. You have no idea whatsoever Toby. Standing there reciting snippets
of Latin to an angry man may confuse them for a while but it's not going to
get them in the back of the van is it?

 

No.

 

Face it m she didn't want to know it was you and hoped you would piss
off .
