to people saying this doens't happen.... wake up...

not too long ago i had a brand new VE SS sitting next to me @ the lights on napean hwy, bout 2am... he was revving the shit out of it trying to get me to go

aparently he didn't think i'd notice his "hidden" lights and UNIFORM ffs

what a f**king sly arsehole trying to egg you on! pffft.. should have wound down your window and told him straight out you know he's a cop so stop being a f**kwit :thumbsup:

if i saw it was a known undercover vehicle, i would probably change lanes (almost always in the far right, so thus change left) and depending on the amount of room slow down. it was really annoying me, i would slow down enough and switch back behind.

if i saw it was just a random car, i'd probably floor it and switch lanes. vast majority of cars and drivers cant keep up and imports don't do shit like that. at least from my experiences.

10 years ago I was booked by some filth that came screaming up behind me as I was overtaking on the highway (I was not speeding at the time).

Out of courtesy I speed up to 110 to overtake quicker and then moved straight over into the slow lane... He pulled in stright behind me and booked me...

Never trusted a cop scince, dont put anything beyond them. I would imagine antics like that discribed are part of there standard pass times.

2 weeks ago i was driving from pt cook to the ring road at about 2am. from the distance i could see this car hiking in my rear vision, thought it was some idiot taking opportunity of the empty roads.. very quickly i realise hes approaching my rear incredibly fast, and im on 100 and in the middle lane. so, i move to the left, him also to my surprise. i know its a ve in my rear vision and think nothing of it, until his headlights were not visible in my rear vision. let off the accelerator and slowed to 90; eventually this numb nuts decides to slipstream past me on the right, and stops in line with the front of my car. noticed it was a wagon, and dismissed the chance it was a police officer (it was v8, i didnt know they had them in the fleet). until after about 500m of driving along side me, he puts the boot into it, and on the rear glass are his "hidden" lights. and off like a flash he went with another 2-3 cars following him.

/shrug sounds like a typical bullies to me

Hmm yeh sounds like bait tactics to me, I've had that once. It was a bike in the wet tailgating me in the back streets, He was sitting about 1m from my rear bumper, I gave a few taps on the brakes and he backed off a little then sure enough came creeping back up. We got to some corners so i sat on 50 which was fine in my car in the wet but the bike had to slow. Then he came roaring back up behind me and pulled me over. Saying u were going a little too fast back there ect ect. I said I wasn't he couldn't prove it, he went with the whole I cbf with paperwork ect ect and rode away.

there is entrapment law in australia.. I dont understand why people believe there isnt..

a simple google search will prove that..

if their was no law on entrapment it could be used in many MANY ways and the law couldnt do ANYTHING about it..

alright man. can you post up a reference? a simple google search should do.

or are you getting confused with provocation laws?

Had the same thing, scream up behind, tailgate, highbeam then piss off way over the speed limit when I slowed down.

I think coming to a rapid stop is justifiable if they highbeam you from behind because driving blind is bad.

what a f**king sly arsehole trying to egg you on! pffft.. should have wound down your window and told him straight out you know he's a cop so stop being a f**kwit :P

oh yeh..

thought about it... then fagged out and pretended i hadn't noticed him :(

and remembered he can defect you, impound you, club you with a baton, pepper spray in teh eyes and so forth?

+1 it does happen more than people think.. i always see this f**king Sportivo white camry on springvale road/westall road. aerials all over it. sometimes the guy is in uniform other times i have seen the same drive out of uniform but he is always revving it at lights and infact another sportivo came up next to it they raced and on came the white camrys lights....

There are entrapment (common) laws in Australia, but the consensus as to what actually amounts to entrapment

and when it is justified is rather ambiguous.

Consider that recent terrorism cases have relied heavily on entrapment, the concept enjoys strong

judicial backing.

I can't see it being justified in the case of traffic infringements but good luck proving that you were

entrapped in the first place haha! Word of police officer vs word of Skyline driving hoon.

Problem is this:

I am a courteous driver, and typically if I see someone who is in a 'hurry' behind me on a freeway, road or anything with two lanes, I generally speed up and move over to the other lane. So I guess I would be pulled over and the cop would ream me a new one.

I personally hate it when someone slows down to say 80 in a 100 zone, so that's probably what you'd want to do if you had someone behind you. You're not technically breaking the law either.

Hopefully you have a passenger, whip out the camera phone and record away! Make sure you get the number plate as well. Because not only will you see the high-beaming and tailgating, you'll hear the revving.

My 2 Cents.

For another poster who said "reference google" here you go:

I had a quick skim, but I couldn't find anything that could be usefully applied. Or a clear definition in terms of traffic law.

Wish i did, but i reckon if they saw me pull out the phone myself they would of probably got me for that too =\

One day when they kill someone doing that, maybe then they will realise how retarded they actually are. Seeing as it was a little wet, i could of panic and swerved. There is some serious issues with our police force.

  • 2 weeks later...

i think it could be quite possible.

A similar thing happend to me a few months back

i had a Cop in a VE wagon of all things (without antennas) follow me on frankston freeway (i was doing a constant 100kms) pull infront of me and slow down to about 80....up to 4 or 5 times after i would change to the opposite lane to him.... till i eventually said screw this guy and booted off only to have him flash his lights at me and pull me over.

ended up he was a plain clothes detective and said he would fine me but never did. lucky!

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
