i believe Thats considered entrapment. However if you Dont challenge it in court they would get away with it

Does it happen? Absolutely. Has happened to me on a couple of occasions. On one occasion, I had a VR Commy revving the crap out of a 5L next to me at the lights when I was in my XWGT. I didn't bite, he took off in a cloud of smoke. Few sets of lights later, an Integra was beside me doing the same thing. He also left in a cloud of (exhaust) smoke. Cop had stopped the next street up and obviously clocked him. After going through another set of lights, cop was getting out of his car to book the Integra and gave me a thumbs up. |

I have heard of situations where they have been known to lure people into a race along the M1, when the person falls for it the cop then pulls them over.
On a different note. Around 3 years ago going from the gold coast to Brisbane there was an SS commodore following me closely so I moved to the far left lane so they could pass me... They followed me into the next lane & kept tailgating me (I could see their lights through the grill of their car) I dropped from 100 down to 95.... They eventually got the ***** & passed me (fast) around 8km down the road they had someone pulled over. |

I've heard of cops doing stuff like this but I never really believed it - must be illegal!?
But it's incredibly easy to spot an AFP car or unmarked HP as they are usually turbo falcons or territories or V8 commo's with those lights on the dash and rear windows. I remember last year I was looking for a park in the eastern suburbs of Sydney and was driving around the block when I began to notice random guys in suits standing near big black caprices with turbo territories scattered around the streets and a R8 parked over the road. They all had the special lights on them and the R8 had a piece of paper on the dash with the big AFP logo on it. That got me excited |

Years and years ago doing a little street racing we had a brand new el xr8 and i think a vs commonwhore come belting down the road, turned round went back again came back down, the xr8 pulled the handbrake mid track blue light goes on, ss did the same at the end then the rest just swooped. this was back around 97/98 so I know they use to do it then. And another night a mate in a vl 5.0ltr, a v8 xd and ss booted it from the lights infront of us. The ss had surf stickers, and a couple of stuffed toys on back shelf. a few seconds later bang on go the lights in the ss. Mate lost his licence for 3 months. Luckily me and the xa, and another mate in a slr 5000 were having cooling issues, so we hadnt tried joining in on the fun. I know they have a job to do, but baiting like that sucks ***

Is not entrapment as there creating a situation that you have a choice not to pursue just like the old keys left in car door thief trick if it's a situation your forced to pursue due to no other option that's entrapment or so I believe to be the case

All of them have been shown on ACA.
Have a look at Fullnoise (a member here) youtube clips' from in-truck footage. High quality units indeed.

street draging is not allowed anyway. I do not do it in a unsafe way when i do.which is hardly never now days for this reason. The car had no lights visabel didnt pull any one up from what i seen. But i didnt even see a markd cop car that night as normly u would which makes me think.

Do they consider racing to the speed limit as illegal drag racing? The only thing they could really do you for is excessive acceleration, surely?

Those Cams are awesome - the old man has one in his xr8 and I was really surprised how clear they were and how much they actually picked up!

No such thing as entrapment in Australia.
They bait you and you're stupid enough to not look through the side window and see the dash lights then your own fault and deserve to be booked. |

My parents live in the Southern Highlands of NSW... Tahmoor to be exact.
Went down to the local shops to grab lunch, and I saw a Holden... ummm help me out here... it was a white 'Blue Meanie' car.. the modern ones. I'm sure it was one of those, it had a really wide bonnet scoop thinggo etc. I'm certain It was an under cover cop car. Lights were easy to see etc. Now... why else would such a car be used? You often hear of newish Commodores touring the freeways with Chev badges and P plates attached. Seen a few now for myself. I guess if you are silly enough to fall for it then too bad I guess. Street racing has caused countless deaths... at least it's better than hiding behind some bushes with a hair dryer...

On The M1 (worse at night), they sit behind you, drop back, fly up to your bumper, drop back, fly up again. Normally either an SS or XR6 Turbo (watch for Aurions as well)
They are trying to bait you but you have to be stupid to take the bait. They try to get you to put your foot down then bam! flashing lights... they caught another stupid. Front mounted cameras would be useless in this instance. My mate is bike mad and loves to do the Mt Glorious circuit. He goes up to the top, turns around and comes back down then does the loop again. A fews years ago he remembers a black Commodore ute going up and down really slowly (about 10kph below the speed limit). Most bikes were blasting past it including himself. A few days later he got a ticket/fine and a pic in the mail showing his bike crossing double lines (it's double lines the whole way!) sneaky...but he was breaking the law, so..... Beware Or go the track for your thrills.

yer we not allowd to race do bournout on the roads but if this was a cop thay are not any better then the ones that do this stuff. As said there was things that made it look copish but the way he was driveing would make him as bad as the hoons. I didnt go to hard with him but gave it a go.guss i will find out in a week if get letter hay.

End of the day, I'd prefer a HWP officer line up a clown at a red light and pull them over when they bite rather than having to deal with said clown who thinks its their god given right to goad me into dragging them from the lights. How does it make them better than the people doing it? (I had to plug your original message into Google Translate to come close...) I guess you could use the same argument as to why police act like drug addicts to catch drug dealers. It removes the unwanted element from society, making it somewhat safer for the rest of us. |
