Unmarked Cop Cars

[SV805]

Spotted a Black SS Ute with Dark windows and Hard Torneu Cover with Red and Blue lights under grill pull someone over just South of the Caloundra Turnoff on the Bruce Hiway near the Sunshine COast.....Have seen lots of unmarked cars before but a Black SS Ute !!!!! What will they be driving next ???

[Firebug]

Unmarked dark blue sports Magna been prowling Maitland area for a while now. No doubt 380s will be next on their chrissy list...

Warwick HWP have a dark grey VZ wagon with dark tint - problem is that there is no way you would think a wagon is a HWP when you go to overtake

Southern Sydney LAC's have just received a few white BF XR8's. All with very black tint, and I've seen 2, one with orange strips and another with black

[lease1]

Apparently Goulburn HWP in NSW has an unmarked purple XR8 Ute!

yep, these types of falcons are in the campbelltown area as well, they look really well loked after and you have to look twice to see the led lights on the rear parcell shelf.

[Angelo_XLR8]

hornsby police have an unmarked White Bf xr8 with black stripes and a Red Monaro.


theres also an undercover red Xr6 Turbo around punchbowl with a Tripple "0" racing Decal on it

haha yeah i saw a magna VRX pull over a motor bike the other day.

[HARMSY]

Think you will find most of the traffic coppers will stick to the likes of Holdens and Fords..... the 380's are common among ranks of detectives and general unmarked cars and they won't hesitate to pull people up.....but things are always changeing and ya never know maybe they highway boys will stray to other brands....always run with the thought that any new or resonable new car could be the boys in blue whether highway or not cause they are changed so often.....

The ute is a sly move though, been a few wagons around.....

[O5BRKY]

had a Hothouse green SS ute in Sale a while back, with the old chrome/alloy roll bar in the back.

Damn. Theres two white ones and a silver one around Shepparton.

As if anyone here is going to list down the different cars and remember them!
You blokes sound paranoid.

[Knight Phlier]

Seen a couple of XR6T's with stripes on F3 near Hornsby. Seen a green BA ute with a canopy pull someone over. Also around St. Ives a mate got done by a Subi Outback! It was a detective's car.

[O5BRKY]

Yeb, sounds that way HRT8, Just obey the road rules and you'll be safe!

[zorro]

there are brand new honda accord euros going around brisbane also been seeing alot of unmarked mitsu 380's. tjhey have been using utes for ages also pajeros especially on the M1.

Also be on the lookout for tricked up YZ series yamaha bike with people in blue overalls riding them.

[legalis]

WA cops have standard commodores, but with toys and stuff on the rear parcel shelf, and kids picture stuff on rear windows. I thing that is particulary sneaky

[badnews]

seen some in a camry the other day???? not sure what that would be good for. also seen a few in mitsubishi 380's. and about a year ago i seen a real nice jeep 4wd pull someone over with flashing lights in the windows and the cop was wearing a suit???

[Spectrum]

In NZ, I've seen them drive everything from Mitsies to Nissans and the more traditional Fords and Holdens in various disguises. Yet they all miss the basic disguise which sticks out like dogs' balls.....

...Towbars!!! The biggest give-away on these mufti cop cars is the lack of towbars: as soon as you see a Ford or Holden without a towbar cruising at the legal limit on a highway, it's highly likely to be a mufti.

I have yet to see any cop car with a towbar....:goodtime:

[Boom]

got towbars on a few cop cars down my neck of the woods. makes it hard

[555]

Anyone know what they the cops tend to prefer in the Sydney area?

[HRT 8]

Anyone know what they the cops tend to prefer in the Sydney area?
Donuts, and lots of em.

[VSSII]

If they're out hunting all you need to know is they've nearly always seen you before you've seen them. So who cares what they drive?

[JimmyXR6T04]

i see heaps down here in canberra!! They're literally everywhere. ranging from normal BA falcons, to XR8s, and white calais. Before i overtake anyone, i look extra close at the parcel shelf, and near the number plates, another big tell tale sign is the massive antennas and stuff hanging off them..

[Jimmy2010]

Anyone know what they the cops tend to prefer in the Sydney area?
they can really use anything but i've seen a lot of xr8's, magnas, base falcon sedans and wagons and the normal commo as well but just watch the xr8's coz there the main ones i see and they generally have the GT stripes and if ur around the camden area watch out coz they like to sit in the school zones

jimmy

[gaz vyss]

Damn. there's a lot of different HWP cars being used. why just yesterday I spotted one with red and blue lights on top of it ! and a bloody radar detector hanging off the side:stick:

The bloody nerve of them...

[Brass Munky]

I was surprised to see a black landcruiser as an un marked cop car here in adelaide, pulled over something last week on o'connel street, they are certainly getting sneaky

[COSMOS]

white Mitsu 380 - saw it pulled over some wotbros on Edgar St at Condell Park (Sydney) on Thursday night. Coppas were casually dressed so probably a Target Action Group of wtf they are called these days vehicle/

[NickS]

Saw 2 unmarked cars yesterday ... 1st was a black VZ SS that tried to bait us into doing something stupid by passing us at about 120 in a 70 zone (and they wonder why people say HWP are assholes ???) ... pulled up behind him at the next set of lights. A guy on a bike then lane split to the front and cut him off :lol: Cop pulled him over as soon as the light went green.

Next one was a silver XR6 on the F7. Spotted both of them fairly easily, especially with the lights mounted inside the rear window.

[seedyrom]

Last Friday a crummy white AU falcon pulled over a girl in an astra 50 metres in front of me (full hidden light setup) in Ashfield.

Bloody lucky as it probably saved me a ticket.

I know older cars are sometimes used, but I didnt suspect an AU for a minute as its just such a poxy model I didnt think the cops would go near one either

[APCLB]

and near the number plates, another big tell tale sign is the massive antennas and stuff hanging off them..


Whats the deal with the number plates?

Also driving around most of the day 6 days a week,I've noticed alot more police around Syd this last couple weeks.Abit of a blitz on maybe?

[JimmyXR6T04]

Some times they won't have lights on the rear parcel shelf, but instead have them on either side of the number plate. They can look like reverse lights from a distance.

[gtr355]

ive seen two xr8s in the wollongong area both witht he gt stripes one is blue with red stripes and the other white with dark grey
really have to watch who is who these days

[cev]

In mainly the South West but also Southern areas of Sydney I have seen a Ford Territory undercover. Cannot remember its colour, might of been silver and not sure if it was a new turbo one, think so.

The white XR8 with orange stripes is still going around and also noticed a lot more Magnas...

[Tubbie]

Well gtr355 i hadnt seen the blue xr8 but see the white one all the time, there is also a blue magna vrx that is doing the rounds in wollongong too.

[silvervyss]

Albury i think has the best range of unmarked cars : white ba wagon, siver magna (4wd), couple of xr6/xr8, usual range of commodore's and last but not least : burgandy kia van :doh:

[ti0350]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but the cops had a radar trap out the front of my place last night in parra they had an unmarked white VZ SS and a silver XR8 with orange gt stripes, ive seen the SS around before but its the first time I've seen the XR8..

[paul05]

white Mitsu 380 - saw it pulled over some wotbros on Edgar St at Condell Park (Sydney) on Thursday night. Coppas were casually dressed so probably a Target Action Group of wtf they are called these days vehicle/

if you drive slowly down marion st inside bankstown airport,there is a police work shop there that builds some of sydneys marked and unmarked cars.

[veewhy]

[APCLB]

Speaking of this very area Dane,when heading through the mecano lights toward Liverpool on Hume Hwy.Down through the speed camera at the Mobile,well there has been a lidar parked about 200-300 mtrs up the road near Blue Haven pools,usually behind a power pole.Then all his buddies are waiting in the Hume Doors car park.
While not undercover cars,the point is they are usually there in the arvo,when the sun is in your eye's & you'd have no chance of seeing the lidar there,not very honest tactics.But you shouldn't be speeding in the first place,right?:hide:

[Roddy]

i wats next... trucks??

.

Hopefully Datsun 120Ys and Suzuki Mighty Boys.:thumbsup:

this same guy was seen up on the foot path on beams road carseldine a few months ago, he was trying to remove the front bumper he had wrecked when he lost it. question is what was he doing to crash it.

[bungrs]

seen a red ss ute in mornington area last year, covered in dirt, like a farm car, with some one pulled over. Saw it pull over heaps off people last summer.

Luckily I don't head out that far, I only go to Liverpool Westfields as Bankstown is over populated. Yeah if you don't speed you will be safe :whip: .

Are you blokes that paranoid?? You'll spend more time watching cars to try to ID cops than you will on the road and other road users.
Bare in mind that the cars are frequently changed.

:lmao:

I drove past the macarno set of lights today coming back from Liverpool Westfields instead of the other way across liverpool station and past flower power. I notice an unmarked blue XR6 driving along and I just flew past him sticking to the limit as he was doing 10 under :hmmm:

Dane.

[Pickles]

Actually, I don't have a problem with unmarked Police Cars--not that I'd relish being booked by one though, or a marked car either, for that matter.
Here in Victoria, we are the "speed camera state" - and these cameras are doing nothing to get to the irresponsible hoons & d...heads, that we all see on the roads every day--you know,-the lane changers, the mobile phone users, the ones who cut you off, those who fail to give way, THOSE WHO SIT IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE, all forms of dangerous driving etc etc etc,--and of course these idiots always slow down when a marked car is seen.
I was going down the Geelong Rd the other day, & a "ratbag" (in a Magna!) went past me-I was doing 100ks--he would have been doing at least 150/160--& I said to my wife, geeze, I wish there was a Police car around!!--well, surprise, surprise, about 3-4ks further on, this guy's been booked, by an unmarked police car-it was a Commodore S/W!
So, I say, in Victoria at least, we'd be better with fewer cameras, & a few more unmarked cars--at least a few more REALLY dangerous drivers might pay a penalty, rather than the thousands, sorry I mean tens of thousands, who are being regularly "penalized" for being 3-5ks over the limit.
Cheers, Pickles.

Now, just to stir the pot (just a wee bit)... Vic Police alternate Aus car makers every funding period... ie one year it's Fords, next year it's Holden - so you never know exactly which ones you are going to encounter, because in any given year, there is a 50/50 mix between the two makes, as the high KM cars get turned over for the new maker.

Apparently the alternate makers get thrown in (Mitsub etc) when there are excess write-offs, and the contracted supply of Holdens and Fords is exhausted... but that is here in Vic; doubt this applies for the other states.

City of Whitehorse has also just introduced a C300 as an unmarked Eastern Freeway patrol vehicle - black with full black tint, gets on at Springvale Road and off at Bulleen. And then of course, there is the C300 publicity stunt vehcile in full livery to distract you lot even further...

'Cause you know it's all a conspiracy, don't you? Yup, they ARE out to get you...:lmao:

[Brendan]

I've seen a heap of white Commodores around my area, they have Police on the the side and reflective stickers, they also have red and blue lights on the roof, keep your eye out for them.

Actually thats not quite right.
The product purchased is based on more factors than the time of year. The biggest being cost.
Ex of this is the number of fords being used as TMU vehicles. The VicPol fleet for the past 3 years have been predominantly Holden.

[macca33]

Last time I was familiar with TMU/TOG vehicles, the reasoning behind the brand purchased was simple - Holden were giving generous government fleet discount, the other brand was not.

It was mostly Commodores, unless stock (in the Police pack) was unavailable, then Ford would be requested to fill the gap.

Alternate cars, such as Subarus, Magnas, Utes, etc are bought to mix it up a bit - often at the request of the local TMU boss. There is a fair amount of R & D put into incorporating the required equipment into the cars, thus, a single vehicle type is preferred, unless circumstances dictate other types are to be sourced.

The Commodore, for a multitude of reasons, is the predominant choice.

And Pickles - the policy (in Victoria) on cars has been changed in the past few years - in the traffic area at least. The percentages of marked vs unmarked has altered - in the favour of more marked cars for that 'strong visible presence' factor.

Cheers,

Macca

[Pickles]

Macca-yes, I know the policy has changed in favour of marked cars--probably one of Christine (worst police commissioner ever) Nixon's publicity attracting antics.
I've spoken to a few traffic guys on this issue-they say they'd LOVE more unmarked cars-they totally agree they're misssing most of the ratbags!
Cheers, Pickles.

Agreed man. Anyway, at the end of the day, I would rather be with someone who carries a little extra weight (in the eye's of the general public) and is happy with themselves rather than some self obsessed size 6/8/10 whose only concern is when she is having her next salad and whether she will be able to fit it in since she had a salad 8 hours ago. Oh, and don't forget the clothes. Cause that is the be all and end all of life. And the best part is, I can go out for a DECENT feed and and know that the missus will order a HEALTHY decent sized meal and actually finish it. Better than some ano bimbothat orders a salad a salad and water, and still probably go and throw that up

Anyway, back on topic, who gives a shit if someone on here is a cop - his prorogative. He doesn't have to discuss anything he doesn't want to

[Crolly]

Yeah ive seen the accord euros gettin around brisbane as well as aurions the 220kw ones near advance town, they were trying to pull motorbikes over. Also theres a hothouse green ss ute that runs up and down mt nebo and glorious and drives slow trying to get cars but espically motorbikes to overtake on double lines

[RB30X]

Funny story, I was in an police officer's office giving a statment on a fatal MVA I assisted with and he left to grab stuff off the printer and got talking to the other guys outside his office. On his wall was a list of all the under cover cars in his district, their discriptions, number plates, and mobile numbers of the officers who drive them. I whipped out the camera phone, set the key pad noise to silent so they didn't hear the noise it makes when you click the button, but the bloody flash has gone off and the two cops turned around and looked at me weird.......

[Rotty]

Not so funny...the vehicle details are one thing, but you have details of Police Officers private phone numbers...illegally obtained...and you're bragging about it?

[iamhappy46]

BF XR8 with stripes in my area, a few red/blue/green HWP vehicles as well, most likely so that when they go through the auctions and they are not white, they might fetch a higher price than a suspected HWP car. Apparently, they had an EVO VI Lancer as well but I never saw it.

went out for dinner last night and as we drove back into our

Him?

What does it matter, just treat every car as a potential cop car, then you can get on with doing the 300 other things were supposed to do to drive safely and not over the limit.

[pursuit1980]

theres also an undercover red Xr6 Turbo around punchbowl with a Tripple "0" racing Decal on it


No..... "undercover" would be a clapped out Datsun 200B.

What your referring to is "un-marked"...... Big difference, as im sure "Tony" the "undercover crack head" would not be driving a new red XR6 Turbo as he might just smell a bit porky to the people he is setting up.

But "Tony" the flannelet shirt wearing yobbo with a mullet and 2 bucks to his name, driving a Datsun 200B wouldnt quite smell so porky, although he'd probably only smell like shiiit.

Just had to point that out, as its always made me laugh when i hear little tosspot 'P' plater 17yo's claiming they have been pulled over by "undercover" cops before in their shitbox XD Falcon's.... hahaha, BIG difference.

I lived above a Fire Chief and his wife, a DET SGT in Canada. They were awesome. Anyway, this one time, (heheh) a bloody crook broke in at night and was majorly bummed out, when a click from the handgun being engaged off safety was heard. Apparenty he litterally shat himself then and there (gross), moral of the story.......

You never know who and what someone is, whether confronting in a road rage incident, bar argument, or, when you break into someone's house to steal whatever IS NOT yours in the first place.

Anyway, what a tosser, and he got majorly busted. (Oh, I think he did something to cop a massive right hook from the chief too... 'cause the Chief he had a little shiner under his left eye!)
