This is getting stupid. Next they'll be disguising them.

All the ones I've seen so far are dark grey.

I"d guess it's just prpogamda to get those who exceed the road speed limits on a regular basis. It seems to be working already.<_<


Wel done popo.

Closely guarded secret LMFAO

A burgundy one was giving a cage a ticket on Boxing Day at Turikina.

There's video of a marked one assisting a pursuit, getting a participation trophy looked pathetic on acceleration and handling

The top spec ones come with a 2l turbo 4, but not what engine the police ones have.

The stability control had better be good, otherwise they'll roll a few.

I have seen several around Hamilton in the last wee while.
Every time, I have noted the make, model and rego.
Unfortunately these days I have memory issues and have forgotten the whole fucking lot...:facepalm:

saw a unmarked cop run a red light by a pedestrian crossing on Friday, zero f***s given. Maybe unmarked cars will allow police to flaunt the laws they're meant to uphold?

Pursuits have been banned - no need for frivolities like stability control etc!:laugh:

Stuff is the new Truth - only with a whole lot of 'Opinion' columns instead of facts and proper news.

Calling all cars, the suspect is doing 51kmh, abort, abort!
FFS, is this really the right move?

They have had one of these in the far north for a while now. I have seen it parked along the newly formed 50kmh zone in moerewa several times now...

There's a remarkable correlation between those who get tickets and those who exceed the speed limit.

I also suggest that those who stick to no more than the black number on the signs tend not to get tickets.

I'll be doing research into it, but if anyone has some clues for me, get in touch.

We have a white Skoda Station Wagon Octavia with Factory tinted windows. Amazing how people tend to give you a lot of respect on the roads and we don't seem to get passed so much....

Noting, It's the Superb the cops are getting and they are not here yet....

You could add a couple of accessory aerials and get additional respect.

That’s a nasty slur against the Truth! At least the Truth had non PC titties on page 3 and it was obvious their scandal/frivolous bits were not to be taken seriously, unlike stuff which tried to sell unchallenged opinions as facts.
Stuff is so bad they had to to close their Facebook page after they FITB ridiculed with their begging fir donations

Having legs and tits influences the outcome for some strange reason. You’ll have to check out some cleavage for you’ve reseesrch. Apparently there’s lots of them on Internet 😂

Having a beer with neighbour listening to his scanner you can hear the despair in cops voices when cotton wool Comms abandons chases.
They now even have to radio in justvthst they are following someone before they light them up, ridiculous.
So local toerags know to just speed past a school, turn lights off or drive on wrong side of road and no chase.

Add a few (unconnected but obvious) red and blue lights behind the grill .. and on the back window shelf.

NOBODY will ever overtake you.

So does that black strip mean "Go for broke?"

Works for me, terrible at remembering numbers
