my_e36 43 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 I heard Australia have highway patrol towing a motor home on the back dashing around the motorway to catch speeders. Just wondering, if the law say you can't go over 80kmh (is it 90 under the new law?) while towing something, isn't the cops violating the law themselves? Maybe we should call the cops on the cops..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 3 Report post Posted March 23, 2005 Luvin the stories gents, Tommy, pics of the chair incident? There's a few boy racer cars about in welly that are undercover cops...that's like entrapment, although we don't really have that as a legal defense here...my understanding is there's also a kitted out honda civic cop car aswell that does lower north island.

bravo 35 Report post Posted March 24, 2005 Saw an old corrola (like '84) in Otara pulling over a truck. Looked barely warantable - rust, bald tyres etc. I would like the cops to put out a report how much it has spent on these "undercover cars" and how effective they have been. I am not too happy about this use of taxpayer funds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wedge 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 About a month and a bit ago was out with some mates, in the akld domain, i pulled up first in a carpark with my lights shining out over the grass, then my mate pulled up and parked on the grass, debating whether to venture. Low and behold a Nissan Sunny down the road turned on its lights, drove up beside us, stopped and stared for a min or so, then as it drove off it fired up it's lights and sirens and all that... we were just wtf.

E30stz 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Guys, I'm fully not bsing here but over a month ago me and my brother we're driving northbound on the motorway past takanini and whats that we see over the other side of the road. A red E46 parked on the side of the motorway with a police officer sitting inside, now it seemed unlikely a cop would be sitting in one of those but he was wearing a blue shirt with those things on the top. My brother will back me up on this one, he was the one driving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
