WYTSKY Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey guys, just thought I'd give a heads up... last weekend I was cruising around the Hawthorn rd, North rd, Neapen hwy area... sorta beach drive... anyway at about 10-11 at night I saw some cop lights in the distance.. as I came up they were not from an undercover ss or standard Police car.. They were coming from a new dark blue Mitsubish 380! he had someone pulled over... I had a second and third look to make sure I wasent tired, but my gf was just as confused...went to a pizza shop, ate, headed back the same way... see him on the other side of the road picking up someone else! any way more crusing... come back around the area and sure enough find him writing a ticket for a parked car at like 12 am... (i know because there was no one else around and no one in the other car) so I thought crap.. this guy must want to be super cop or wants to make lots of people really unhappy.... I took a pic... but the bloody nightmode and slow capture time on my fone left nothing there... just a blur of his reflecting uniform ... The car specs from what I could see: 07/08 model Mitsubishi 380. Ultra dark tint. factory alloys?

Also seen detectives in a very old Beamer turn up to my ex neighbours house a few years back Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/237331-little-heads-upnew-cops-in-the-se/#findComment-4151960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakez88 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) yeh cops have been doing alot of sneaky shit for ages. 380's aren't very recent news. in hoppers crossing theres a undercover cop in a silver AU XR8 ute. seen a few in unmarked landcruisers, vw vans and also a jeep wranglers. should be alert for anything with 2 or more antennas. .

WYTSKY Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 in regards to the old bmw.. I have seen weird cop cars over the years as well.. but I thought as they are ditectives they can have all different types of cars.. but road cops need a certain range?? thought that this might just be their new revenue raiser... never mind mmm.. #3... thats an issue.. how bout painting some cardboard and sticking it on the car to look like a charade? dont have any other thoughts... am tired actually.. night all Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/237331-little-heads-upnew-cops-in-the-se/#findComment-4152079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basti Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 i've seen a few VE omega's around with the obligatory ariels and they also had a LED light strip on the parcel shelf. however the only time i got a chance to look at the passengers, they were quite old. 50's old. wtf? arent omegae's the base model? are these cop cars?

jakez88 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) transformer buttons should be installed on all skylines to avoid cops. mine would transform into a cop car. =) Edited September 23, 2008 by jakez88 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/237331-little-heads-upnew-cops-in-the-se/#findComment-4152087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player_Hater Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 i seen a number of cars used over the years, comms, falcons, various utes, foresters, wrx, corollas, hiluxes, prius, avalons, camerys, magnas, wranglers, h2hummers, 330ci convetable bmw's ( drove past 4 undercovers wif big fat grins on their faces). end of the day cops can be driving anything but as long as u keep to rules 1 and 2 of jakez88 rule book you will be fine. Rule 3 should be turfed out the window!! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/237331-little-heads-upnew-cops-in-the-se/#findComment-4152509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
abu Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I've seen an undercover 380 a few times, also saw an undercover ute over the weekend so I guess these days there driving anything and everything.

Player_Hater Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 my next door neighbours a sheriff and they were told by upper management in the force that they were being upgraded from unmarked commos and falcons to toyota pruis .... hahaha ... so they bought a small fleet of them 4 the sheriffs to try out. all sheriffs carry those massive tyre clamps....3 to be exact and what ever else they need 4 day to day activities.. so when they moved all the items in a falcon sedan to a prius ..they managed to fit 1 tyre clamp and 1/3 the amount of items needed on a daily basis..... point of story ... beware the unmarked prius's .. they got given to the undercovers 2 putt around town in Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/237331-little-heads-upnew-cops-in-the-se/#findComment-4152881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
