Undercover Cop Cars in Vic

[IOWNU]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what sorta cars the cops have undercover in Vic. Recently I have become somewhat confused, first i thought they just have those XR8z, XR6 Turbo, SS, GTO, basically holden n fords. And i learnt the tell tale signs, like baby shades on the rear window, tinted windows, e-tag. But then the sirens got smaller, now they're like a small box (about the same size as the rear brake light thats on the inside of the car, just above the boot) with the blue n red half and half.

And now, I've seen them in Subaru Foresters, and even a Toyota Landcruiser. So now there are a lot of potential cop cars. Anyone seen any others?

They sometimes drive Subaru WRX's.

[IOWNU]

yeah..i 4got 2 mention those. Some1 told me they even have Dodge Vipers? wth?

[krzysiu]

LOL dodge vipers???? Never EVER seen a cop in a viper lol.

[IOWNU]

U said it. I mean...how the hell could they afford that? but this person was stubborn...he was like theyr for highway pursuit. again wth!?

Oh yeah, one more thing. Do cops undercover ALWAYS have to be in uniform?

my mother lives with a person who works for the TOG and the cars are anything that is out 2day cos their cars only have a life of 6 mounth so they are always changing. the person my mum lives with brought a rav 4 home the other day and it was a undercover tog car mind u ther had been a lot dune on the motor and went alright so she tells me to never underestmate what cars they are driving.

There was a trial by the police about a year ago, where they tested some of the new cars that were comming onto the australian market. They used nissan 350z's, rx8's, the usual holden and ford and also had a decked out viper rt10. The Merc vans that the ambo's use these days are becuase of that trial. They were found to be far better than the GMC trucks that they used to use. Sorry to be a little off topic but atleast you can prove a point to your friend.

[IOWNU]

So the viper was on trial? how do the cops justify that? shoudlnt they spend their resources more cost efficiently?

If you think about it the cops probably love their cars, I mean they have fast cars and are allowed to drive them fast.

Shifty

[meshmesh]

they probaly needed a viper to keep up with the lines

Do cops undercover ALWAYS have to be in uniform?

nope.. i remember in VIC they didn't..

a couple of times I've saved myself some pain just having a look though in the car, before stepping on that accelerator. Then again, other times i haven't been so lucky lol

[Laurence]

I have been pulled over by unmarked policemen... I don't like them being out of uniform.

p.s. Keep your Village People comments to yourselves.

[Horus]

Nah, it was just a trial day which the police setup. The viper looked rather sweet, with the rectangle lights on the top and the full paint job. Chrysler paid for all that crap, so that they might persway the police. Didnt happen though, they couldnt, much like everyone else justify spending 250,000 on a gas guzzler like that. They cops, from the report anyway, were very intrested in the 350z as a highway patroll car, not sure what happened to that. There were photos and stuff back in motor mag about a year ago or something. Oh, and unless they have lights and sirens on, they arnt allowed to drive that fast.

I've seen an unmarked Rav4 on Pascoe Vale road.

[KamikazeR33]

up here the wodonga cops have a supercharged black ss with only the lights in the back window... very hard to pick

dont get confused with cops cars and the speed camera cars which sit on the side of a road all day coz they are now privatised.

Well unless camera cars have sirens and pull over truckies I must be mistaken
