Unmarked cop car in castle hill area

mattri · 13-01-2007, 09:34 AM

Was driving up near intune on Thursday night and this Dark grey BF Xr8 with a stripe kit came flying up my ***. I thought ahhhhhhhhhhhh he wants a race. Then the next thing i know a guy pulls up next to me in a really nice (i hate to say it VZ Clubsport) and starts shaking his head and mouthing the words cop cop dont do it. I then look up in the rear view mirror and i look closer to the car then i see all the police gear in the car behind me. If it wasnt for the guy in tyhe commodore i would of raced off and got booked.

Thenpoint to this is look closly to these cars as cops will do anything. The funny thing is that i thought tinting your front wondow was illegal, so how come unmarked cop cars have it done, cause this BF ertaoinly had DARK TINT on every window including the front one.

I was speaking to someone in the tinting industry he works in NSW country area the cops come to him all the time to get there front windows tinted in there cars.5% tint i think he said. When the rest of the car is done at 20% the front window looks even darker.

I've seen the same car driving out of castle hill police station carpark, the exhaust has been modded as well, so who knows what else may bave been done? Definately didnt sound normal

No there not and are scrutinised more than most in the comunity. Bastards because they were in an unmarked car? Because they got you for speeding once? Good on you for that attitude

Give this thread till end of day!

NSW Police are now using stripes and very dark tint... Mongruels IMO

However, if you are silly enough to not check the obvious dash and rear parcel cameras, then more fool you...

Most guys won't resort to these tactics, it;s usually the younger ones, or ones out to prove themselves....

I dont think they are scrutinised at all in this case,ie: relevant ADR's that apply here.Most would be defected for the same thing,is there a special dispensation for a police car?
I dont know if there is,but if there was,should there be?
This is the rub IMO,the hipocrisy of defecting one and not the other,this is what is seen as "above the law" or one rule for them one rule for us..

335JET · 13-01-2007, 01:28 PM

im always in that area, i'll keep an eye out.
Funny you mention he had a GT strip kit cause when i was at Bathurst last year doing laps in my dads XC, there was a white BA XR8 with black GT stripes, i gave him a yave then realised it was an unmarked cop.

Ruger · 13-01-2007, 01:32 PM

Yer they been doing it for a while theres a cop in earlwood are had a mk1 ba xr8 white with blue stripes but now has a white bf no stripes but i know his number plate so i can spot him from a mile away hes tried to egg me on to race a few times.
i got pulled over by a grey xr8 on m4 the other week. you can spot em a mile away i knew he was a cop i was doing 100 when i saw him i slowed to 90 (p plate limit) and no drama antennas are a dead give away as is super dark tints.
ive seen a blue magna pull over people as well unmarked and mates have seen a magna with p plates as an undercover too.

joe260 · 13-01-2007, 01:35 PM

ive seen cops around my area in wrx's xr8 utes even vl's any done up car so they trick people into racing them then fining them...

[Tonko] · 13-01-2007, 01:48 PM

that happened to me except it was a VZ, i thought i was good, brake testing him (young and stupid)... got pulled over for it too.i do not recommend it, just slow down so they get ****ed off and drive around you

Ive seen a dark blue one around lately cruising around the same area,driver pulled up outside oporto on Homer street,got out and got a feed,he did'nt even pay,the manager was sucking up big time.
I havent seen it in the last two weeks though,may have moved on?

dannyxm · 13-01-2007, 02:08 PM

Not to out of the ordinary, but ive seen a hothouse green? (That nice light metallic green the VZs came out with) Commodore ss undercover geting around campbelltown / Liverpool area. Got a nice set of chromies as well.
Cant help but get paraniod when you see a nice new ss or XR now lol.

There is also a white XR8 round there with black stripes on it too

Bit of topic but i havent seen a VE Commadore cop car yet

fmc351 · 13-01-2007, 03:36 PM

**Uncle_Ken** · 13-01-2007, 03:39 PM

Keep an eye out for Mitsubishi 380 unmarked as well, saw him taking to a guy on the side of the road with lights flashing on the front dash

The G6ET Spot · 13-01-2007, 04:21 PM

Theres a lightening strike XR8 with orange stripes and BA GT front bar in the Campbelltown area,as well as a mercury silver XR6 turbo. Also a lightening strike BF XT unmarked except for the blue an red lights on the dash,which are very hard to see because of the tint on the windscreen.When he wants to pull you over he puts the blue light on the roof.Then gets out of the car in plain clothes,and they say they aren't revenue raising! yeah right! He pulled me over to do a breath test.

I dont know about over there mate, but in WA the cops are above the law. I you going to say that you havnt seen a cop speeding even if it is 5-km/h over the limit. Your going to tell me you havnt seen a cop use his EMERGENCY LIGHTS to get around traffic. If they can do that without any penaltys, they are above the law. And dont go and tell me that he is allowed to speed to do his job. Because chance are if there was an emergency, he would have been doing a bit more than 10km/h over. I got pulled over for doing a U turn. After the cop fined me and told me I had a grandmas car, he drove off talking on his mobile.

Im going to stop now so this thread dosnt get closed.

SNB05T · 13-01-2007, 05:24 PM

Your going to tell me you havnt seen a cop use his EMERGENCY LIGHTS to get around traffic.

hehe saw that a couple of years ago on the way home from erina one night on the entrance road, a paddy wagon sitting behind me for about 5k's then puts the lights on, i pull over and they went passed me and pulled into the service station to get a coke. not fair

Lol havent seen that one. Drive down the lane near the cop stn next to the pub and all the cop cars parked in the back and you can see exactly whats in the area.

XR8-260 · 13-01-2007, 06:04 PM

Can cops entice you to race and then book you after? I thought that was entrapment or something...

exactly, thats what i think-however there will be a few people here that will disagree.

kyro_02 · 13-01-2007, 06:30 PM

I only thought police can only get you for entrapment in the states, not australia!

maybe one of the officers can responde with the correct answer :P

Matthew · 13-01-2007, 06:50 PM

So what ever you do dont race a xr8 with stripes because its probaly a cop :voldar02:
Cops do anything to take your money im sure this trick worked with alot of people very sneaky :dr_Evil: but never seen them only normal falcons.

SlikedTurb · 13-01-2007, 06:51 PM

so being in a nice hotted up car is entrapment????
i don't understand!
no-one is forcing you to race him.
if you want to break the law and get caught, that is your problem!! the more of you people that get caught doing the wrong thing, the Better. hopefully you will soon learn that the police aren't as predictable as you once thought and you will learn that ANY car on the road COULD be a cop car and that it's not worth the risk.
same principal applies to speed cameras. we need more random, hidden ones

Rant over.

GREAT!

XR8-260 · 13-01-2007, 06:57 PM

Whether it is entrapment or not, I still wouldn't race any XR8 unless my car could beat it (which it can't even it modified form :()

Tech Trainer · 13-01-2007, 07:05 PM

This cracks me up!

You winge and whine about the cops and their tactics.

Then when someone damages your car or even steals it. Who are the first people you call? The Cops!

They are just doing their job to the best of their abiliity and attempting to make our roads safe.

I say good luck to them.

5.4 GT · 13-01-2007, 07:15 PM

A real efficient allocation of taxpayers money to go spend it on chrome wheels, modded exhaust, illegal front window tint etc. The cops should stop playing silly buggers and get more marked cop cars out there. These days you hardly ever see them. When we drove to QLD we saw 2 cars on the whole journey up there (including an unmarked one) and 3 on the way back (including the same unmarked one that we saw patrolling the same stretch of road as before). Alot of motorists that have no interest in cars what-so-ever would be totally oblivious to the usage of unmarked police cars on our road. Police need to be seen again with more marked patrol cars.
