Operation R.a.i.d

[xALmoN]

What were you going to the lake for?

To cast some lures... and to finally get a bite from something thats not from a farm.

[NO-GTR]

sounds like a cash grab to me.....

Cops are definitely out in force lately. Got stalked by a divvy van on saturday night on the way home. Tailed me, checked my details in their car then turned around and sped off. Might be best for anyone with an exceptionally attention drawing vehicle to drive it at a minimum until after xmas/new years. At nights at least anyway.

got brethoed twice and RWC checked once last night

suprisingly i got nothing on the rwc check :S Even did an exhaust test on me

You know in the 4 years I went to Swinburne I never once visited that damn lake. Drove past it every weekday and could see it from the Uni but never stopped past

Well, some bloke caught a 45cm trout there, and i missed a fish, so nothing much to shout home about. But its a really nice chill place. Good to visit when stressed or nothing better to do.

seen 2 this week, didn't get stopped though. then again, not that i have anything to worry about.

[Sami]

its funny i hear all this and yet i have seen less cops in the last 5 weeks compared to before that

and one booze bus for about the same time

and i do drive ALOT with same driving routine really

Does anyone know how these "new" speed detectors pinpoint which car is actually speeding when the cop is driving too?

If it's being used in a busy area like Knox and there's a bunch of cars driving, how can they be sure which one the radar picked up?

Just saw the ad on TV, and it sounds like that device is only when the cop is stationary and can point the sniper-like crosshairs at a single vehicle out of a mass of cars (rather than the usual shotgun approach using the old radar guns, which were unreliable in a mass of cars).

Granted he did make a nice point about me being "not from around here", so he might've treated a local such as yourself with a bit more discretion lol.

You boys ain't from 'round these parts, are ya? Love it

Did anyone go down Reynold Road last night (Friday night)?

Just near The Pines hey had a lot of their highway patrol cars and some camera crew too.. maybe filming for Highway Patrol?

My station is pretty serious about this operation as we have treffic cars running all next week and I am on some operation Road BLock on Next weekend. Must be Booze Buses and more, I surely will be tasked to give out lots of NOU's, EPA and fines because end of the day its a stats game.

Not necessarily stock, but roadworthy condition. For example, the exhaust can be aftermarket as long as it is below the maximum DB.

[SKYL1N]

respect for gdogzgtr

Thanks

Whats an NOU?

I know you may not want to tell eveyone but what area do you work in, as in country vic or N E W or S subrbs, i dont mean what station, will understand if you dont want that information known.

[gdogzgtr]

NOU is Notice of Unroadworthy better known as Canary. I work in Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne.

Thanks, i live in SE but the skyline is off the road now anyway, wont be back on for over 12 months.

Also how strict are you when you pull over some one driving on an unreg permit, got one at the moment on my daily whilst i get it reg'd but since i do arvo shift a few times i have taken it to get stuff done before work and then driven it to work, problem is i dont finish till around midnight and i know that you are only allowed to drive it between 7am and 7pm.

[UnCo]

I got done with an unreg permit.

I had booked in to the mechanics to drop it in during my lunch break at work and arranged my workmate to come with me and take me back to work after I dropped it in.

But in the morning on my way to work I got pulled over and they didn't want to hear a word of my explanation.

Missing work in the morning was not an option because it was a critical period in our schedule.

Had to cop the $567 unregistered vehicle fine on the chin.
