Genuine interest in road safety = more Marked Police vehicles maintaining a presence

Genuine interest in revenue raising = more un-marked or covert cars.


Bit of egg on someone face after that little oops !!

I remember reading about a similar practice earlier this year down at Macquarie Pass. Must say, not really in the spirit of the way to conduct business.

reading the above story on entrapment I wonder if when they spun their wheels spraying gravel everywhere if one of the bikes lost traction in thier wake would the then undercover/covert  :cop officer be liable for damages...   :think1 due to thier actions.
also they wonder why ppl dont show them respect for the job they do when they resort to these tactics... FFS!!!  we need police, just not AS#*wipes.  :dred11

Probably just need to slow down a bit and take a breath. Don't believe everything you see in a newspaper. Honesty and journalism are two words that don't mean the same thing.   :o

Seems to be or was an issue in NSW

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-03-19/revived-nsw-consorting-laws-marred-by-legal-battles/4582904 (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-03-19/revived-nsw-consorting-laws-marred-by-legal-battles/4582904)

In New South Wales, police are armed with Australia's toughest anti-bikie laws. The revived consorting laws mean anyone can be jailed for communicating with convicted criminals.
But the introduction of the powers has been marred by legal battles and police bungles. In the latest case, a Sydney teenager was wrongly charged for hanging out with his mates.
