Police Blitz - Nepean Hwy, Gardenvale

[Mean_R34]

Just drove past this outbound on Nepean Hwy.

Outside Ford/Holden Dealership - 1 dark grey van with a tripod radar/camera pointing backwards + 2 TMU cars + 2 motorbikes.

1km further up the road just before Panasales - 2 TMU cars + 1 unmarked white Camry + 2 more motorbikes.

Officers cheerfully handing out tickets.

Stay safe folks.

You only have to worry about those units if you have outstanding fines/warrants or rego/licensing issues.

Having thought about it, I'm now thinking it is. Because none of the police were using radars. Just sitting in cars or standing around them. Prob makes sense to have another crew just down the road to allow for the info to come back on rego scans.

Looked like a small telescope (80-100mm diameter and maybe 400mm long) sitting on a small tripod at the rear drivers side of the van, which was parked on the nature strip.

Doesn't mean they won't stop you and hand a nice defect out to a noisy import.

Same as going through a booze bus. They are there to test people for drinking, yet somehow there is always one that wants to have a 'discussion' and license check for no reason.

Agreed^

An on duty cop is a walking lawbook ready to be thrown at you at anytime for anything

I've driven through one of those license plate +motocops + pursuit outfuts in my skyline without any problems.

And my car is pretty noisy.

Sorry, didn't mean for that to come out so smugly, but you know what I mean.

I make it through without a hassle most of the time, because it's usually on main roads where they're trying to get through as many cars as they can. I never rule out the possibility of shit happening though...one day it'll happen to you!
