New Unmarked Cop Car, Wagga HWP

b2tf · 12-01-2006, 07:04 PM

Spotted it today - a White BF XR8 with Orange Stripes and Buldge Decal. Looked really impressive until I saw the stack of equipment on the dash and the lights on the rear quarter panel.
A word of warning - be careful around him, he tried to bait me into a run from the lights, then when i wouldnt play he pulled off, chucked a uturn and went away. New tactics for around these parts it seems.

There is also a Dark Silver VY Crewman, Black Magna and Dark Silver VY Commodore Wagon that are used as unmarkeds from time to time.

Be warned!

On the F3 freeway (sydney-newcastle) for the past few weeks there has been a white ss comodore, whatever the latest model is, trying to bait people around gosford
He will roar by and then pull into the left lane and slow down and hope others continue to roar by.
the slyest thing is it has the black and white federation plates on it. VIP:???
not sure on numbers. i have only ever seen undercover cars with the usual yellow and black plates, apart from this car and a new silver xr8 on the same stretch with white and black plates
but they do there dodgy best and seem to be catching plenty of people lately

We have the candy wrappers here (red monaros with the stripes) and also a new XR6 with some private plates!

You have to keep an eye out for them now, they are certainly making it harder to pick em.

We got a white Turbo that does the same thing. Seen him go past and eventually get someone ion a commodore. I guess they took his bait

stiddy got baited by a guy in an xr6 in syd. i remember i roared past an unmarked cop car once... well over the speed limit. but it was just a berlina, and he didnt seem too fussed when he pulled up behind me at the next lights, then i saw the lights on his dash and soiled myself.

Got chatting to a Toggy (highway patrol dude) yesterday. He's a mate of my old man. According to him, Vic Police are reducing the number of UNMARKED cop cars on our roads by around 30%, and they are increasing the number of MARKED cop car by around 30%. More presence on the road is the idea......

Saw the best photo opportunity yesterday on the way to work.....

A yellow BA cop car pulled over a silver BA XR8. Damn they looked good together!! (Not sure if the driver in the XR8 would have thought that though!)

In Vic on the western highway I was pulled over by a Black Suburu Forrester, Ambo Tint, fairly new, didnt suspect it until it pulled me over, lucky i was doing nothing wrong,

And the only reason I get pulled over is I have burnoutsunlimited.com sticker on my front window

AXR-006 · 12-01-2006, 09:26 PM

Ill keep my eyes open for it.Thanks B2TF...

brendan24688 · 12-01-2006, 10:02 PM

Im from Queensland and i and me mates have seen an Evo VIII with the plate 60TYA (GOT YA) dragging mates in hotted up cars.

triple8nitro · 12-01-2006, 11:08 PM

I got pulled over by a blue wrx on my driveway i thought it was mates new car i was doin 111 in 60 zone racing "my mate" but i pulled into the driveway before he put the lights on and he couldnt provide ID for his mate in the passenger seat. LOL @ the dick. His mate wasnt a copper!

big_pete · 13-01-2006, 02:06 PM

cheers for the heads up.
not that ill do anything illegal anyway, but still nice to know

DivHunter · 13-01-2006, 02:26 PM

Isn't this so called 'baiting' completely illegal as they have no reason to be speeding or breaking any other road rules themselves?

Master G · 13-01-2006, 02:35 PM

Exactly,but how do you prove it, Magistrates will allways take theyre word over yours, lies or not

Feathers · 13-01-2006, 02:57 PM

If they're not breaking the law, but you do, then it's your own fault.

ten[A]cio[U]s · 13-01-2006, 03:01 PM

Thanks for that Austin. They are trying to be sneeky these days..

there was a huge discussion about this on here, dont remember what the final outcome was or maybe it was closed. But even if they are breaking the law that doesnt give you the right to do it to.

Wouldnt you call that asking for trouble?

AUIII XR8 MAN · 14-01-2006, 04:00 AM

Well the other day i was driving home & next to me was a new XR8 with no marking on the outside but i could see that was unmark cop car, The funny think was this bloke in his old 4wd tail gating this car trying to pass it while the cop car was doing the speed limit. Well the copper move over & let the 4wd pass him but once the 4wd driver seen that it was a unmark car, he hit the brakes & pull in beheind the cop car. I could see that this was a cop car a mile away. I use this as a genral rule of thumb if is new & has draker than legal tint, chances are that it going to be a unmark cop car.

Never been illegal in NSW, I've had a few unmarked cops trying to goad me into putting the boot in several times over the last 18 years. I've got no problems with it, if you want to line up the car next to you then do it infront of a christmas tree.

Nappa · 14-01-2006, 09:02 AM

Out my way in gippsland i've found that is rather easy to spot the unmarked highway cars, ussually if its a stock VZ or BA they have more then ur average amount of aerial 's a lowered rear and the dark tint. Our unmarked pursuit cars dont seem to have any tint, but are ussualy shockwave BA2 or Silver VZ's and i'v heard that you will never find one with a tow bar.

banarcus · 14-01-2006, 10:34 AM

Yep those who have to lay the blame on the copper for being baited are tools. No one makes you drag race or accelerate beyond the speed limit. Go back to the tool shed.

Nappa there's a small number of marked & unmarked police cars in VIC which *have* towbars, and yes even a smaller number of TMU cars.......

Don't know what nib told you otherwise
