New forum section - Mufti cops?

**Biff** · 17th January 2007, 12:11

I note there's a growing number of posts re' mufty cop car colours, locations, specs, regos etc on here of late.

So what say the masses re' having a dedicated section on here allowing us to post intel on these dirty war wagers?

Spank?
Moddies?

Why not start a thread that we can sticky... then anyone who notices the bots in blue (or not when they are under cover) can post in that thread...

No need for a new sub-forum IMO.

That sounds like a really good idea!

I think its a good idea if people can be bothered remembers car makes, models, colours and number plates...

Just a random question... is there any legalities to this? Posting detailed police information?

I would doubt it.

What a waste of time. I can't even remember the rego for my bike, let alone those of every late-model blue Honda Accord that the Police may have sequestered for mufti duty. So what if there's a Police silver Mitsi Diamante at Birkdale today? It'll probably be in Tauranga next week.

Guess it is a start.................

black s model holden (later shape with wing/alloys etc) doing the waterfront most nights (around minigolf with radar usually or occasionally lasering by docks/just past docks/by bus stop opposite hobby city or else pavement opposite t junction by dock main entrance), also on the motorway occasionally on friday night cus of the ricers. might be more than one i'm thinking... durr.. gi there is a rarely a white one and a black one also (s's), often an olive colured older shape one but it usually don't have radar which i don't see around much. they are in mt welly too sometimes.

That would distribute the information across hundreds of posts, rendering it largely useless, unless the person starting the thread continually updated the first post each time information was added.

**Joni** · 17th January 2007, 12:45

I would have thought that the information that is current and people don't clutter the thread with discussion, i.e just the current situation on the road only, would make it easy for people as they could go to the end of the thread and see what has been posted for that day... because cops move around anyway, so its never constant.

In a way I agree with Hitch, but am willing to test the theory,

If asked nicely, the Cops may even supply and update a definitive list, for all the use it would be.

Perhaps more useful might be a thread on "where they lurk". As we all know, the bastidges have their favourite spots where they lurk in wait. Regulars find out (maybe the hard way) but vistors don't know.

Also, whilst noting every mufti around might be overly detailed (who could remember it all!), sometimes a specific mufti will have a "blitz" over a prolonged period in an area (eg the guy who was targeting Woodcocks Rd a while ago). It would be worth having a "Hot Alert" for such cases.

I'd suggest that some of the younger members are yet to experience the scourge of memory loss more 'senior' members may experience. I generally only remember the firt 3 digits of each mufty rego I notice (for a short while). So I guess I'm on my way to having a 'senior' memory.

Muftywarningthreadtypepostypesections exist on several other forums I sometimes visit - and it's been a great success to date - with members regularly posting new info and other members thanking the site for saving them muchos spondoolos in speedtax.

Joni - Shall I start a new thread and you'll sticky it? If so which section shall I post it under?

Can't agree with you there mate......any tipoff no matter how small or seemingly useless about new muftis floating round is a help IMO
