Driving past the Gabba this morning, we noticed a guy standing in the middle of a pedestrian island on Vulture St/Wellington Rd intersection.. He was dressed casually, carrying a backpack, looking like a he was maybe on his way to work.
But when he got the green light to walk across, he just stayed there. Then we noticed every now and then he would raise his hand and talk into a CB microphone.
Alarm bells! Sure enough, after we got the green light to go through the intersection, a couple of hundred meters down the road there's half a dozen cops hiding around a corner, pulling cars over that have been radioed through by the "pedestrian" back at the intersection. I assume they were after people using mobile phones or not wearing seat belts.
Sneaky buggas!
Very Very Lucky!
If you don't break the rules the police are doing us a favour. If you break the rules cop it sweet
You noticed and observed! It Always amazes me watching a fixed red light speed camera near here. Every 20 seconds or so some idiot gets there photo taken and pays a entirely voluntary tax to the state government. The camera has been there for 10 years!

Yeah,that's like the camera vans/canopied utes on the BruceHighway,that place the "speed camera" signs resting by the front bumper or facing the scrub,while the cameras faces the rear of the vehicle towards the oncoming traffic,with the permanent signs spaced at 30 klm intervals.

One sunny Sunday recently I was cycling towards a rail crossing with a stop sign as well as lights, and a new blue-and-white sign saying "police actively patrol this area". I looked over my left shoulder, sure enough a police car was parked off to the side. As I stopped and put my foot down I looked again to show I had noticed him. Immediately afterwards a distracted woman drove straight through the crossing and was pursued by said police car.
Some people just don't get road rules and paying attention.

On my way home yesterday, saw an un-marked police car. He (or she) had pulled a ute over. What was a little surprising was this police car was a black La***ruiser with all the off-road type stuff on it, big steel bull bar, snorkel and IIRC a roof rack too

So if it is not revenue raising & a radar detector will make me slow down why can't I have one? Don't get me wrong, I am generally a good driver but never quite understood this.

A radar detector will only make you slow down when the alarm goes off, they want you slow down at all times not just when you think a radar is near

I'd like to see more of them doing stuff like this,, I'm over people who use phones and aren't paying attention to the road.
One thing that really annoys me, is at 6AM in the morning, you never see any cops around. So many bad drivers are strutting their stuff in the morning, its just not funny. The ignorance and arrogance is astonishing.
We obviously need more people to be trained as cop's, and then maybe they can get in there and do the job that's required.
