Since last night I have seen quite a large number of undercover Traffic Cops, marked units etc.

Radar guns are out in force from what I have seen.

Not sure if they are after defects also.

For example, I saw two cars (one unmarked, one marked) within two streets of each other in Lakeside Pakenham.

Drive safely out there :thumbsup:

Arrived on my usual spot on princes hwy on fri to find it was nice n busy. 5 mins later after some bikes did burnouts I saw bout 5 people get pulled over and the cops blocked both driveways of the servo I was at. All plates recorded. Lucky for me I chose not to drive that nite. Stopped by again on sat n absolutly noone around lol I think they got the point

We have more staff on as holidays over so we are running traffic cars most days. I would say that most stations in same position so more out and about. We are running plate recognition days in next few weeks also which will be interesting.

I am almost becoming a professional drink driver processer as almost eveyone I pull over lately is pissed. Have had 4 repeat offenders all more than 3 times limit in last month. One also disqualified and driving unregistered car and almost ran us off road 3 times in police car. In his mind he did nothing wrong and told me off as I verbalised my disgust for him in no uncertain terms.

Thats pretty f**king bad. One of my dads mates was like that, even went to jail for 3 months after being done for multiple (more than 15) drink driving offences. He still drink drives to this day and actually encourages others to do the same. Retards... so many of them.

1. Why not be proactive and roster more staff into the CBD at night (IE thursday, friday, saturday, sunday nights) That is four shifts that can be spent for the betterment of society. Or is it a case of jurisdiction, paperwork and easier prey?

I am in no way condoning drink driving and speeding around school zones, but from the presence I have seen 2 streets from my house the word I have is "overkill" and that is an understatement.

2. Sounds like the car is not coming out of my garage unless its on the trailer. :blush:

Plate recognition is the computer software and camera that automatically checks every registration that passes and then runs checks on the owner. So it shows up all unregistered, unlicensed, suspended/disqualified, warrants and whereabouts. I have heard that sometimes having 10 members just to hand out fines and deal with other things that arise isn't enough.

In relation to having more members in city fri/sat nights we still run safe streets which adds 50-100 extra police in city and we have started new area ORU that will have a couple of hundred members tasked for these high crime area's. Then again that's not extra members in force, its stations losing members to go there.

The sherrifs use plate recognition the the states n they seem to work quite well. Once a plate comes up with a default the computer screams out pull over so the officer then gets out n issues the fine/notice/etc. Considering I've met people with thousands of dollars owing in fines I think it's only fair they get caught.

As for what Graeme said bout cops in the CBC, the past few weekends I've walked around n there has literally been a cop on every corner. Never felt more safe in the city

not having a crack @ the resident po po here.. but it certainly pays better handing out traffic infringements/defects left right and centre and so much easier

I'm in agreement with you on putting more on duty in the city at night, but the amount of dangerous driving I see around my area more cops would be a blessing. The more visible they are hopefully the less people will drive like wankers.

So if my car get's snapped and they see my past mistakes (IE. I have done my time) I will be pulled over 110%, correct me if I am wrong here?

That new trailer is sounding better every day :banana:

They were trialing these cameras in my area late last year. From what I understand they target people with outstanding warrants, no registration, owner of a car has a cancelled license etc. They're not aimed at catching people with previous convictions/problems, just current ones. I could be wrong on that though.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
