What P plater has a FPV Thypoon?

|
Good to see they are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to stop these violent criminals.

And although it has a very serious side to it, the new cars are providing police with one or two "lighter moments"
|
Wonder if we will see any of these "lighter moments" on YouTube.

plenty of 'P' platers over here in performance vehicles....cashed up tradies and mine workers...
won't see them vehicles over in our dept...it'll cost too much to run them and our commish has promised to go 'green' with part of our fleet.
we'll stick with the V6 for some time yet for normal frontline patrol work.
as minux said, if it is used to catch the idiots on the roads, well then so be, might as well blend in...

Different story, us Easterners have power to weight restrictions or cube restrictions. We're not allowed to drive Typhoons on our P's unless we get an exemption. Which is extremely rare.
It is illegal for full licence holders to display P plates. Are they going to book themselves everytime they go out? I don't think violating legislation in this way is good enough. Fair enough about speeding when lights/sirens aren't appropriate, but masquerading as a P plater, when the law specifically forbids it is a bit much.

On that, Steve Johnson from the cats was caught last night doing 127 in a 50 zone...The guy is a ****ing peanut. If he doesn't lose his licence for at least 12 months...i'll be damned. His car was impounded under the hoon legislation.

So they can slap P Plates on and pretend to be P Platers, does that mean we can chuck lights and a siren on and pretend to be cops now too???

 We used to do that back when i was 18, hire strobe lights, pull people over, wait till they stopped and drive off. Only did it at night, was childish harmless fun.

In the mid 90's we'd often see this maroon/burgundy VR with dodgy 'lights' pulling people over on Beach Rd, used to always pull over cars with young P plate girls in them, wasn't you was it ?
