Hey all just passing some info on....................

I just saw a guy get pulled by a plain white Toyota Camry unmarked HWP car near Albany. Was pretty tricked out, I wouldn't have picked it if I saw it on the open road. Maybe this is old news but its the first time I've ever seen one.

Mazda 6 is quite a common mufti. The rodeo UTE is probably a CVIU car or more commonly known as mermaids. (Cunts with scales). The Camry is a new one though. When they start using mufti GSXR1000s I'm going to join the force and pull folk who don't wheelie off traffic lights etc.

Ah maybe it was a Mazda 6 - I'm not that good with cars - looked like a camry though. Its the first time I've ever seen anything other than a Holden or a Ford. I musta been lucky!

Far out. In Pommy there used to be a police fireblade. Called in the policeblade. Wasn't a mufti but used to turn up at bike meets as a PR thing.
Aussie have GTO Monaros as their HP cars.

I got pulled over by a blue ss commodore in the Waikato area a couple of days ago,i passed him & a truck on a corner,he finally caught up to me at the whatawhata pub,why i didn,t see it was a cop he had roof racks on,with a ladder strapped to it,he had me fooled,so watch out for this one around Waikato area.i got off the ticket as well.

Saw a poster in a shop window of a Mr. Whippy Ice-cream truck with the warning, "This is not a Patrol Car! Anything else could be!" They are getting sneakier. Good thing I don't speed...:ride:

It annoys the hell outa me... they are turning us paranoid, like we should expect every car to be a police car, in the hope that we behave??

What if I don't want to?? Luckily with the shoe string budget they have, not every car is a police car :banana:

However, odds are odds, that one day, one will be one :crybaby:

Yeah I heard about that...I bet the bikers were stoked to see a 1000cc sportsbike ridden by a professional show up covered in lasers and radars.

I think in my time I've seen, confirmed as cop cars: Holdens, Fords, Camrys, Maximas, Mazda6's, and maybe a couple more. I've heard stories of all sorts of shit, from '69 Mustangs to Skyline GTR's. Some from reliable sources too.

a few years ago i saw a legacy rs sedan [the pre- gt sedan made in 93-94 with around 168kw] fully dressed up as a cop car and ive seen 2 maxima cop cars and a heap of xr6 under covers, au and ba models......

on the way down to manfield we saw two mufti's in the old style ford falcon (au or ba)... my mate has been done by a mazda 6 and also got pulled over by a toyota corolla for not indicating through an intersection and then doing 90 in a temporary 60 zone (was 80kmh and there were no road works along that part)...

my friend is in Hawaii atm and they have 2005 Ford Mustangs for Pursuit cars, and the old police cruisers for detective work. Also they have Jeep Cherokee's for hauling the fat fuck cops around (read oversized polynesian type law enforcement officer)

There is a cop in a dirty old (around 1992) Nissan Nivara Ute that frequents the southern motorway around Bombay.

Strangest mufti car I have ever seen is an older model blue Ford F150 Ute which me and my brother saw pull over a car in town along Quay Street one evening.

The Subaru wagon? boy-racers can't resisist ovetaking it, best speed 137kmh.

"Oh shit, I never knew it was a cop car or I wouldn't have passed you like that"
No shit Sherlock!!:gob:

Yeah, Scumdog, it's like when someone gets pulled... "I'm really sorry I got caught, Officer."

I believe the Auckland guys have two big american things, read it in another thread. One is attached to the helicopter base and the other is special ops of some description? I could be wrong.

In my time, I've been up against commodores, falcons, maximas and even a hiace. I don't recall specifically going at it with the Mazda 6, camrys, the utes or even the ford laser, but I have seen them all dressed up in mufti at one stage or another. The closest call was a Commodore S. Not a bad top end on those for a taxi. The good news is that the HP mainly stick with Commodore S around here, at least you know the enemy. Most other cars are other branches of the force who frequently don't give a toss about speeding bikes.

I would say the only one that strikes fear into my heart is the bikes. Mainly cos I don't know how fast they are. They eliminate many advantages that bikes have (width being one) which means you have to smoke them on horsepower and handling. On paper they should be an easy kill - overweight and underpowered, but I'm not keen on taking that bet unless I really have to.

I suspect some of our Blue friends on this forum could enlighten us as to the competence of the HP Bikers. Naturally I personally am a law abiding citizen and wouldn't even try it, but imagine the chagrin of a biker who got hauled in by a cop on a BMW Police bike. As you say, they are overweight and underpowered, weighed down with all the associated paraphernalia, but I bet they can ride 'em pretty well!:done:

We know one of the cop bikers in Wgtn here, and he reckons they're pretty cool. And off the record he's got a few stories to tell. That's why I'm in no hurry to smoke one around here, 'cos murphy's law says it'll be him and the bastard will put two and two together real quick. It would have to be a highly competent and very motivated copper to keep up with a sportsbike ridden by anyone better than a bunny, in anything other than a straight line. But if they already know where the end destination is then it doesn't matter if they're 5 minutes behind you...

The bike cop has some big advantages; he's following for one, he has flashers and siren, and he can usually handle the stress and adrenaline better. And he's often a better rider just because of experience - riding day in, day out.
That's all worth a shit load of horsepower.

even the HP drivers are rather good drivers, although going over the takas in my dads 89 familia 1300 [:shutup: ] we had a commodore following us really close, so my dad decided to show him and fuck me my dad lost an undercover on the hill, the cunt pulled us at the other side cos he wanted to check if our car was stolen:motu:

When we came back from Puhoi pub last time we pulled into teh BP in Orewa to wash off the bloody diesel and there was a cop filling his silver XR8 mufti car.

We should compile a list of mufti cars, their regos and sightings.

Those plod BMWs might have a surprise for runners if the route was at all bumpy. That BMW suspension is pretty trick, and sprotsbikes don't like bumps too much. But in Dorkland at any rate, they wouldn't bother, just call up the chopper and stick close enough to winkle the runner out if he goes to ground.

They change too often.
Just learn the tell-tale signs. And if it's too far away to see the signs, get a detector.

It makes me wonder if they are doing a blitz using mufti cars as I saw at least three or four on my way to and from Wellington today. Two were plain Holdens, one red, one white, but I am pretty sure one of the others was a bloody Monaro! It looked like it was only a two-door, bloody sneaky! You can spot them quite easily coming towards you as the lights on the dash are quite noticeable, but not coming up behind you!

I saw a black Nissan patrol, I think it was anyway, tearing down the southern on Monday... Lights and crap but it had a roof rack sort of thing on it.
Sorry I can’t be more positive but we passed each other at speed on opposite sides of the motorway and I was in the left lane.
Probably a special unit thing, haven’t seen it befor tho…

The SAS used to have those things. We used to see them when we were working out at the air base practicing storming planes.

Damn I been lucky then. Anything could be a cop car. Mucho Respect to those cops on the bikes, very vulnerable when there on their own. I wouldn't fancy doin a high speed persuit on one, escpecially if your chasing a villain in a car who woudn't hesitate to take you out. They got some big balls.

I saw that black Patrol on TV news one night at an AOS call-out in South Auckland somewhere (well that's where all the AOS callouts are, aren't they?), so I'm guessing that's what it is. Guess those fellas prob wouldn't care about speeding bikes. Prob just as well, don't fancy my chances against a big gun.

Dunno what he's driving these days, but the cop in Waiouru a few years ago had an RS Legacy sedan. Have seen a few of the camrys as well, even saw a cop in a 323 one time, but he may have been just driving his own car after finishing a shift. He was in the lane next to me turning away into a side street so it was only a glimpse, did a double take when I saw the uniform but was too late to check for lights on the dash.

You have to wonder how many are false ID's when people are reporting some of these "muftis", I know a guy that reckons any car with a LPG sticker or an after market aerial is a cop.
