Dirty sneaky cops... pics as proof!!!!

[XR6 Hulk]

I was taking a leisurly drive on the Australia day public holiday, just cruising down a steep hill when coppers jump out from behind a rock and book so many cars. Everyone got booked doing 80km in a 60 zone. there no signs, steep decline road, just rolling with traffic, just after getting off M7 Motorway. Just sneaky slimey cops on double demerit weekend, no respect for them...

Cops cars completely hidden around corner, stopped people in a no stop zone, no notice of radar, bottom of steep hill. Have a look at the photos...

Why do you need 2 threads on one subject?

I think its 60kph unless signed anyway (Depending on area), im not too sure.

unfortunate for you, but you will probably find further up the road from where you have come from that the will be a speed limit sign. There is no minimum distance between sign needed if there is no variant in speed ie. when you enter a freeway they only need to show only when the limit changes. Good luck trying to fight it

[ClevlndStemer]

doesn't look like that much of an decline to me. How hard it is to realise no signs = 50 (victoria). Why can't people be accountable for their own actions? Jeez if I see a decline of some sort coming up i realise ok, some action will be needed, maybe ease off the accelerator and or apply brakes where necessary.
Not hard really, it's all part of driving.

As for the cops being slimey and sneaky? c'mon mature up a bit.

I've had my fair share of speeding fines, no point getting upset, it's your right foot that controls your destiny.

[Daymoe]

Yeah, ease off the accelerator is one. Its easy to hold it there and then realise that you are going over the limit.

[deesun]

How far back was the previous speed sign and had there been any streetlights between it and downhill run. Also what exactly was the last speed sign, 60, 80,?

[Fev]

if you got booked send them into the council or police shop or whatever else you send them into

[XR6 Hulk]

I dont know how far up the speed sign is. they booked about 20 cars in 15 mins that i was there. It was a free for all, families, all types. One asian lady that got booked, when she drove off she slammed up the rear of the patrol car. He did nothing, just let her go. Dont go buying an ex patrol car XR6 Turbo..

Seriously they were at bootom of hill, caught so many people its not funny.

[XR6 Hulk]

I contacted their boss, within 5 minutes they packed up and fled. they were stopping people half way around a bend in a no stop sign area just past the lights. look at the pics..

[XR6 Hulk]

Hey bear in mind they booked so many people, it was like a woolworths checkout, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. I exchanged details with five other people waiting to get booked, we were all completely ****ed off, thought it was an 80 zone. No signs to be seen, big long downhill highway like that.

[apolloxbgt]

I don't see the need for 2 threads but meh.

If you think thats bad,don't ever come to victoria.

around my area people tend to do a minimum of 20 to 30 over the limit on high street and the adjoining roads, so 'rolling with the traffic' could be quite believable if that place is anything like here.

Hard luck, but as others have said, if you think that's bad, try Bracks County.

[Lukeyson]

i thought that if its in a built up area with no speed signs but street lights, its 60, but if its not built up no street lights or speed signs, its 80.

But its a nice little catch they got going on there

Your right, it wasnt a built up area where we were travelling but the coppers were in the start of the industrial estate. Still no signs though. there are farms through this area. top of horsley park coming down the hill, can see the city from there.

[Daymoe]

Haha i can imagine it now, sucked in is what i have to say.

[Casablanca]

i posted on your other thread it may not be fair that they were hiding but obviously they have had reports on a lot of speeders along that road, now i'm no angel i used to be very heavy footed and got plenty of fines i've wised up and now stick to the limit.

mate, keep to whatever speed limit you saw last, you can't say that you never saw a single sign anywhere whilst you were driving? i think not. if the sign says sixty even 30kms back and there isn't another to correct i stick to that limit.

unfortunately this is how it is. obviously it's a bad road for hoons so they could catch them.

FFS... i can't believe some of the pointless topics and sooking people post about.

I took it for a cruise and was coming down a hill when a copper runs out from behind a rock and pulls me in. you were doing 83km in a 60 zone. there were no signs, road was downhill, they were hidden under a rock, australia day....

Anyhow double demerit points so license gone. The only Windsor Ill be doing is Windsor Pilates.... the Mrs said if you would have kept the Getz....

: has a windsor V8 got to do with getting caught speeding :togo: . You do the crime you do the time get over it, also wat does Australia day have to do with getting off a speeding fine

[XR6 Hulk]

Must be plenty of cops on this forum, get up off your and go catch some drug dealers. My mother in law was robbed , break and enter, it took the police three days to turn up, too busy hiding behind the rock filling their quotas. There must be some sort of awards ceremony, the sneakiest cop in australia, congratulations sargent nicolls, you da man, most sneaky fines in the country. they call him the woolworths checkout chick cause he swipes them like they are fruit.

mate i was once mugged by 3 druggo's and an ice-pick, and they were all let off as the cops stuffed the paperwork, but you need to take the bad with the bad, ya know what i'm sayin' ;) No need in going on about it here and making the situation worse for yourself.

Highway Patrol officers book people. Its what they do. They don’t solve crime or fingerprint your mums place to catch robbers, they keep the roads safe. Its their job.

totally and utterly correct, detectives are the ones looking for robbers and what not these guys are here to keep you safe yes at times they may be revenue raising but have you seen the ads, these are true circumstances the reason behind the fines is so you will get it into your head that you should not speed "every k over is a killer" btw if you were doing 83 in an 80 zone you were still speeding so either way, if it was an 80 zone and they booked you for speeding you would still have put it on the board sooking about revenue raising. dude get over it, it happens to most people.

Awww, have a sook because you got caught DOING THE WRONG THING!
And it has been said that there is a big 60 sign.
Dont blame the cops
Dont blame the 'hill'
Dont blame the windsor (as per your other thread)
Your car cannot break the law all by itself..
Who else is there to blame? Hmmmm,

Tonko, this kind of talk is not needed. And i think that this thread is more about the position of the camera rather than the fine itself.
