I've seen an undercover cop BF turbo in Sydney with big rims, lowered, dark tints and huge BadBoy decal on the back window. You can't be too careful these days.

Theres a poxy gold VS Commie near my work with a dodgey Clubsport body kit held together with duct tape and has stock rims a skinny tyres. Owner has also taped a garbage bag over the broken sunroof so it flaps about going down the road. Waiting to get a pic at some stage.

Love this thread

I find all undercover traffic cop cars completely pointless. Happy for detectives, surveilance etc to ride in them but not for traffic patrol. Its a pointless exercise.

Just the other day saw an FG G6 which was clearly an undercover cop car: too many antennas and the light cluster sitting in the front windscreen. And in the driver's seat with the window down was an Eminem lookalike dressed in a grey hoodie.

There is no such thing as "entrapment" laws in this country.
Sooner people realise this, the better.
If you want to act like a twat on the road and get done by an undercover cop car, youll get what you deserve.

Impersonating a Police officer is illegal...

Impersonating a hoon isn't...

Hope that clears it up...

I highly doubt you could ever argue entrapment because the car has some aftermarket accessories.
Sure, maybe if he is egging you on at the lights.

Im not to fussed about undercover coppers.
Pick your moments and don't speed when there are FG Turbos, F6's and SS's around.

Entrapment is only a defence used by people who have been pinged by it. AFAIK there are no rules or guidelines against law enforcement using it in Australia. You street race, speed, run lights, run stop signs, they're the risks you take.

I've heard of them revving the engine next to cars at lights before trying to instigate something with other drivers (they pick on certain types of cars as you can imagine). But I haven't personally seen this happen before.

You can normally tell an unmarked VE pretty quickly by the secondary antenna and if you look closely there's often a box on the parcel shelf (I think it's a rear facing camera?)

It works, people drive differently when they see the white patrol car (read: drive 20 kays under like morons...) who wouldn't otherwise be caught being stupid.

BUT... I think traffic offences are pretty stupid across the board, the patrol cars should stick out like dogs balls to try and encourage better behaviour, rather than slapping a dollar value on someones mistake.

i guess if the tint, rims and lowering is all legal we don't have to worry about being pulled over by an illegally modified cop car, illegally modified to catch illegally modified cars.

No such thing as entrapment in Australia.

If you were impersonating a police officer, you'd likely be arrested and charged.
