had a weird run in with an undercover cop car the other night...
me and a couple of my mates were in an empty car park at night( RC drifting ), in their defence does look dodgy lol
as we were leaving we saw a blue/black VZ commie pull in the carpark, then followed my mate who drives a done up pulsar SSS and tailgates him for a few hundred metres, my mate had a feeling it was a cop so didnt speed up, and then they did the same thing to me and i saw their dash-mounted lights driving under some street lights... and then followed both of us into a maccas car park
my question is... are they allowed to tailgate people, force them into speeding and then im guessing and giving out fines? if they can thats pretty dodgy imo

yeah this happened to one of my mates too...
car following really close when theere was no one else on the road, my mate freaked out, speed up, car kept right on his tail.
Ended up goin 100kmh through Padbury's backstreets cos he thought someone wanted to kill him. After about 5 streets of this they flicked their lights on.
He actually had a huge sad at them cos he was honestly scared for his life.
Asked them why the **** they let it get to those sorts of speeds, why didnt they pull him up as soon as he was speeding.
they didnt have an answer, and ended up just giving him a fine for 10 kms over. And said "if you were scared, you should have gone straight home" (he lives in padbury anyway).
But honestly that is stupid, if youve got some lunatic beind you, youre not gonna lead him to your house are you...
Moral is, they can do what they want, and if they want to be c***s, they will!
i find best trick is to granny drive till they pass you then stare at them as they pass after they get sick of you driving really slowly not speeding like they want you to
Essentially they can do what they want. When they had their high performance cars they were allowed to "initiate" drag races. EG rev their engines when the suspect car did first. Then hoon to the speed limit and pull them over.

they do this all the time back where i grew up
a cop in a VY SS tried initiating a drag with my calibra turbo, i stuck my finger up at him and mimicked the words fck off.... he pulled me over and asked me why i abused him.. told him it was obvious that he was breaking the law and trying to make me break the law, so he breath tested me and sent me on my way

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
Yeah they've done it a few times to be too...I slowed right down...below the speed limit...he pulled up next to me and cause he had tinted glass I could see him I look across and gestured wanker...lights went on breathalyzed and drug swab...then let me go...mind you this was ages ago...i've now made friends with my next door neighbor...(police officer) haven't been pulled over in a while

Dont even get me started......I shouldnt generalize either as I have a friend who is a good guy and a cop and then there are the bully traffic cops...I could write a book about them.
Ive been told the traffic cops are the ones who at qualifying school tend to be loners and when they break out into the force are called brick heads because all they are doing is pulling people over and back at the station dont really talk to anyone.
nice
ill be sure to ask the next cop that annoys me if hes finished being a brick head yet (note that ill only do this when he has absolutely no legal reason to do anything to me)

..my old blinged out astra ( chromies bodykit yada yad yada) was an absolute magnet for these guys, i remember one occasion in a 90 kmh zone near home a marked VZ flew up the inside lane, jumped in front of me and then slowed down to 60, daring me to overtake him on the inside.
Aholes.
