S.e Crackdown

[THR34T]

Did anyone notice the major increase of patrol in the SE area of knox/rowville/Ferntree Gully etc around them on saturday night.. as expected coming upto christmas but dam i have never seen so many cops in all of the xmas patrols they do.. saturday night atleast EVERY 200 metres there was a cop car or undercover cop car pulled someone over on stud road and very little on burwood highway. i never seen anything this big in one night lol it was amusing to me... along with a few booze buses along stud road. and to top it off their new undercover cop car the Blue Evo X!! Pretty cool undercover car though lol.

You should have seen how many of us were walking around in City Fri/Sat night. In Swanston Street almost every street corner and will be the same all summer.

[CAJFLY]

ok remind me not to go near knox and that. and if i see an evo x im gonna go the opposite way lol

[SKYL1N]

Sigh*

is there anywhere you can go to not get hassled anymore?

tasmania anyone?

[R34_Wong]

yea Bez~ they're everywhere. Saturday night at the Glen is like going down Chapel St now. Lucky for me, my car was parked when the inspection cars came through.

I know they're just doing their job, but sometimes you can't help but feel picked on...

cops on the freeway today holding radar guns and waiting in xr8s and ss's waiting for a chase down - drive carefully everyone

[RBJ3T]

It does make things a bit daunting driving atm. I'm sure we are all in the same boat. My car on the outside looks RWC but if you dug deep i'd be up sh!t creek.

I was driving down stud road on sat night but didnt see any. However it was 5am in the morning.

[THR34T]

it was between around 9-10pm till 1am. from what i recall. yeah i havent been pulled over *touch wood* only followed or waved through the booze bus lol yet most cops have just cruised passed me luckily. *touch wood* *touch wood* *touch wood*

I wasn't so lucky 2 Sundays ago going to Safeway at rowville, just pulled into the car park and got pulled up by an undercover got me for too low And that was how the car came from the dealer

Yup agreed

There must have been at LEAST 100 officers on foot, last 2 weekends in the CBD.

I've never seen such police presence.

Marked, unmarked, Divvy vans, cars, response vans, marked police, under covers... the absolute works.

Last weekend alone, there must have been 50 officers out front of Amber Lounge (and in surrounding street) on Lonsdale St, but then cops are there everyweek that im surprised that place is still open. Im assumming the partons there cant help but stab themselves for whatever reason

I even see that weird truck thing with the camera's on it.

Graeme - what real purpose that thing serve? I mean honestly, if you see a marked cop van, with 11ty cameras on it to cover all angles, you aint gonna be doing anything illegal now are you?

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

you'll be right beza.... unless its too low and the sparkly paint piss's the cops off.

i think it will be Suzuki Ignis time for me dont even get noticed in that haha.

yeah i was at amber lounge i think 2-3 weeks ago, noticed about 8cops right in front having a chat, 5more in the middle of the road car park and a few more bunches up the road.

while this little door lady with a messed up attitude trying to get the whole crowd to line up in 2's so they dont get fined for blocking the foot path.... cops were just laughin cause no one could move

hahaha. luckily i havent put the rims/coilovers in yet then that be pretty funny though. defected for blinding cops with your paintjob. now thats an achievement!

[some_cs_student]

I can't wait for them all to take the extra annual leave they built up .

They're cracking down extremely hard to try and reduce the statistics for the Christmas period which I'm fine with, but I don't like the way they're going about it at all...

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i go on the theory if you dont do anythign stupid and your car is in order you should be alright. seems to be a proven for me...when my cars in order they let me go, when its not id get done...lol.

ohhhhhh so thats why im not getting pulled over.. 4 DOORS!!!!!!

I think that marked police car with all the camera's is a joke too. I couldn't imagine it assisting with any files just there to deter/prevent offences.

In relation to all the extra police in City they are all working on Leave or R/D as we get 10 hours double time for walking around the city in groups. It's the goverments way of covering for the lack of members. I did pretty much nothing excwpt showing police presence and got huge money for it.

This is going until march and there is about 150 extra police each night just walking around. So far I would say it's working as there were only handful of fights in both nights combined compared to hundreds over a normal weekend.

feel better now knowing were my tax dollars are goin
