MYTH BUSTED!! That is totally incorrect, I don't wear my cap sometimes and that hasn't stopped me from going about my official business.

Thats a dangerous myth we had a concerned citizen call the station once and informed us a unmarked vehicle had pulled over a car and the officer was not wearing his hat, he thought he was reporting a major legal breach. Instead we informed him that what the officer was doing was correct and that there is no need to wear our caps. Well he informed us in stern words that he would tell his daughter that if she was pulled over and the officer was not wearing their cap, that she should ignore the officer and drive away.

DON'T DO IT!! This is incorrect.

So explain to me how they break the news to some one about the death of a loved one when they take there hat off out of respect?
"Oh...sorry Miss, we can't tell you your son is dead...we dont have our hats on..."

Damn there are some idiots in this world. Telling your daughter to drive off. This world is lacking in common sense more and more each day.

eb_5litre · 04-08-2006, 08:01 PM

If my daughter was pulled over by an unmarked car and approached by a man with no official uniform I'd be telling her to drive off as well..... if you cant understand the reason why then I guess you've been living in a cocoon for the past 20 years.

Thats fair enought if off duty and un known, but they are talking about driving off from an "on duty" officer without a hat. Get out of that cocoon dood

Yeah right, how hard is it to hire a police costume that looks real enough to the untrained eye...... and no I wouldnt be telling anyone to just drive off, I'd tell them to head for the nearest Police station or populated place of business.

VSSII · 05-08-2006, 10:26 AM

Too much media hype and not enough factual information. Yes one guy got bashed on the F3 by some deadbeats a few months ago. He picked them for police immediately and they just smashed their way in. This is the only time EVER anyone has been a victim of such an incident. Well thats what the police said in the local paper anyhow. But hey, what would they know. It's much easier to be a victim of the hype and Uncle Ray's Current Affair Stories.
We live in Australia not America. Try and remember that.

Hire a police costume!! How pananoid do you want to go. You have to draw the the line somewhere where you want to trust fellow man. If not, you will live in world of fear unfortunaty. It up to YOU.

Its been done in Qld for a home invasion.

Worse still, actual uniforms have been stolen from police stations, more than once. I seem to recall one up here losing firearms too. If a cop shop can be burgled, anything is possible. I believe it was all recovered, at least most.

No, Id just pull over though. The time between them tearing my perceived crazy ar5e out of the car and my explanation may not avoid the curb stomping. Reckon it would be easier for them if you jumped out after stopping. Two officers recently got shot here, on separate occassions in one week pulling some wackos over, theyre understandably on edge and extra cautious. No-one is going to rape me anyway, Im uglier than my avatar.

And since this is not america I can't see them shooting your tyres out and calling in a helicopter. But you better be good at explaining once you get to the police station.

Has everyone forgotten where we live?

Too much TV. Pull over or expect the punishement!

dvyvan · 04-08-2006, 10:05 PM

If i was a shiela i wouldnt pull over for an unmarked car. Ive been told your legally alowed to drive to the nearest servo or station and pull over there. Also heard a story bout some girl who didnt pull over and called the cops and it turned out that the car trying to pull her over wasnt a copper at all and they ended up sending a bunch of units and surrounding the *****, turned out he was going to **** her up pretty bad.

I could turn my car into a unmarked car tmrw. You can buy the lights of the shelf.

You are legally required to stop.. you don't have the legal right to do anything else. However, if there was a genuine concern I am sure that some leeway may be given. How hard is it to stop and wind the windows up and lock the doors?
All these internet myths are going to get people into serious trouble and saying 'it must be true coz I read it on the internet' won't work so well.

AUIIIXR8 · 05-08-2006, 10:39 AM

Exactly. There have been incidents in the past but this is OZ and I suggest you pull over. Police do have to identify themselves clearly and thats what the lights, siren and badge are for. If you don't hear a siren leave your motor running until they identify themselves.

banarcus · 05-08-2006, 01:01 PM

Pulled over a clown the other night in my SV8 off duty after her chucked a piece of fruit at our car. If he didn't see my badge waving out the window, I had his number plate anyway. Whether you stop or not, expect some sort of action.
