Cop cars

Was reading this from another forum.. seems like it's real. How the cops generaly have XPL-XXX or the X infront of a commie. The 2 Atenna's are usualy what i look out for. Not that i do anything stupid on the road  but i just shift down to 4th/5th gear becuase of my exhaust.. 
so here's what i found on the other forum.
.. On the coast, they arnt just commodores. There are Camrys and Magnasbut my friends and I have worked out that if there are 2 people in the car and the number plate starts with an X then its a cop car. Sometimes we are wrong, but other times it has saved our lives.
..i heard that in NSW they have Riced up lancers as undercover cars as well.
now imagine the embarassment of beeing pulled over by one
in victoria, they use commies, falcons, camries, corollas, WRXs, old Rav4s, Econovans, Utes, Rodeo trays.......i also heard that someone got pulled over by 85 celica

Not really a rule to rely on though...
I've seen cops in Chrysler Voyagers, Taragos, even a done up SS Commondore with customised plates (lowered, tint, stickers on the rear window) but took a peek inside, and the dash was overflowing with police gear.

NO, the new models cop cars have been issue with plates similar to YAY-XXX, XLS-XXX, but yes, all the cars issue in the last two years have been registered with plates that started with X.

Personalised plates ?? Ricer patrol cars ?
do they have subbies too for the siren noise instead of the horns things on the roof ??
RCRCOP ( ricercop ) for a plate would be good
if we had 7 letters they could have BLOWDIS for the breatho vans and stuff
I can just imagine a ricer cop getting about the streets of sydney or lygon street in melb playing " bad boys " on his superloud copper stereo ..

Did the cop car have a little back craptop mounted on the dash?
With that they can just type in your name or licence number and see if you need anything inserted in your back passage!

If you put a UV light over the lower right rear window you'll see my signature 
Another way is to look for a small ccd camera mounted on the left rear pillar facing back!

Hehe, no probs Karl.
Was looking on jaycars website found a camera but not too sure what to do about recording.
Should i just use a standard video with an inverter or can you suggest something better.

If you have lots of money I could supply you with a "Black Box" recorder that we use in these cop cars?
The cop cars actually have 3 cameras mounted in them! One on the rear pillar facing back, one facing the speedo and one mounted either on the dash or on the front pillar facing forward!

I done have a cheap setup, consisting of a switch for different camera postions and a 12V VCR, all up cost, under $200. This can be transfer into different cars as I've hooked it up to the Ciga lighter plug. I mainly use it when testing to see if I stuff up or the car stuff up or for some nice pics while racing. 99% of the time so far, I stuff up!!

I got pulled over by two TMU pigs...
they were driving a silver current model avalon on beach road in brighton, officer mark cain or something, if you see this car watch out... he's a revinue rasing piggy.
He's also a liar.
I just wish I went with my first instinct, and kept going. ha!

If its for anyones concern
I got pulled over by a 'turbo charade' in Sydney
I have been talking to basically the 'Head of Police' boss in NSW, he's my friend, anywayz, he says that they can take any car they want to pull people over in as they use cars from a stock yard or something a rather,
I have been taken for a ride in the 'COP WRX' mobile, and let me tell you, nothings getting away from that suxer
Helpful advice AND YES IT DOES WORK
If a cop tries to put anything on you even if you did it, he CANNOT prove it UNLESS YOU SAY, so in other words, deny it, or ask him for proof that you were doing something wrong, but don't admit to doing anything wrong and you'll be fine 
Dirtiest Cop i ever met, the cop tried to defect me for anything, and i mean anything, the cop searched my STOCK corolla, found nothing, stupidly enough he checked my OIL told me it was half empty, didn't know where he was going with that, and my antenna is broken, let me tell you, he had a damn long look at that one, in the end, he had nothing

Well it goes for speeding (if the cop doesn't have a camera) and reless driving, if they didn't catch you on hard evidence in the act, they can only try and get you to admit it, THEN they have you, its all that mental warfare bullshit they run, all you have to do is say no,
"i don't know what your talking about, i believe i didn't do anything illegal, do you have proof"
thats it,
It basically fits for all OPEN situations, like speeding, and reckless driving, but running red lights, thats different, and if you do something illegal with witnesses thats a no no as well, like overtaking in double marked lines

makes me damn glad i live in perth
95% of cops over here still drive commies or falcons
undercovers are easy to pick up with lowered suspension and 2 aerials
i dont think there are many non-mainstream undercovers here.
but remember this
ANY cop can pull you over in ANY car even if he is off-duty, wearing plain clothes etc. their job is to uphold the law at all times of the day....

I saw a few years ago a done up XR6 or 8 Falcon in Sydney pulling up an old Escort. The Falcon had tint and a big KENWOOD sticker on the back window and looked asthough it was lowered about 19 inches...it looked very nice except for the flashing blue light

another thing to look for is generally stock-ish rims
of course, in the eastwood area there's a gorgeous red SS with sexy 18" rims on it, so doesn't always go.
I've also seem a guy pulled over by a little sports car.. looked like an z3, but wasn't.
also, if you deny it and decide to take it to court because you never admitted anything, there are a few things against you.
first... a cops word is generally taken in higher regard than anybody else's by a magistrate.
2nd.. as mentioned, they have cameras in the car which will generally prove the cop right, and then the magistrate will tend to shit on you for lying to him.
3rd, there's usually 2 cops, and when there are 2 cops corroborating against you you better have some concrete proof (not just mate's recollections) to get in the clear

Just a short hint: If you ever get pulled over in the Windsor/Richmond area for doing something wrong DO NOT STOP... Just put your right foot down and get outta there... these cops will screw you hard...
Local Paper reads like this:
"Guy in tractor pulled over for doing 120 in 90 zone"
"Local youth arrested for jaywalking"
etc. etc. you have to see the paper out here to believe it!
