Undercover Police car

[Russ59]

For what?? the lunch run?

Apparently they purchased a few of them for doing the Macca's drive thru meal runs, much easier to handle through the twisty bits

They use it for Community liason work and also for call-outs to petty crime stuff .... too many narrow streets in that area so it helps them get around ... push bikes would be cheaper though.

push bikes would be cheaper though.

just use a freakin' horse. it will be cheaper (initial and on-going costs), go faster, better looking, and fit down even narrower streets.... even chase thieves through shopping malls.

the one i sore was 5 door, but i asumed the goverment sources, diferant countries for better fleet prices and in this particular case 5 door polo would be more useful to the cops., though the ,more i think about this, maybe it was a golf,......though i could have sworn it was a polo.

Nah man...Cops source their cars direct from the dealer like any other government fleet car(I helped with this when I was working at NT Police Workshops in Darwin). They would never import from another country, but would source another car to better suit the job at hand.
NT Police also use maked Nissan Tida's for community liason also. NSW Police were also using a marked Lotus Exise for Hoon Liason for a while too.
I have seen Wodonga Police in Victoria use a Ford Falcon XT Ute as an undercover car in their Highway Patrol too. (In a Spanish voice)Do not underestimate their sneakiness!!!

Why wouldn't they? Wasting our money whilst at the same time raking in revenue makes perfect sense when you realise that it's dimwitted scumbags and useless pencil pushers who make the rules.
Think happy thoughts Trent and breathe deaply.

I saw it on Capalaba Rd a few weeks back on radar duty.

[Jarred]

I saw a hummer H3 at the rod run I went to on the weekend.

Part of the "protect melbourne at night" thingy the VIC po po/Gov have got going on..

Hey

my friend saw a silver polo gti as an undercover police car (he saw it in the surburb called "Macgregor" in Brisbane)

anyone seen it before here?

never knew police used them as undercover cars....

To set the record straight...

It was just outside Garden City, near the NAB on Logan Rd.

It was a Silver Golf GTI 4dr with personalised plates. (Not a Polo GTI)

And yes it had its lights flashing and it had pulled over a Commodore Ute (VY).
The police officer was uniformed...

My 2 cents...

hahah I read that as the personalised plates actually saying "Not a Polo GTI"

[Kai]
