on the way home from work, i pulled on to the M4 at Church St. and i pulled in behine a Jeep Cherokee with a couple of extra aerials on the back, and mirror tent. it was an older model, before they got the round headlights. the car colour was a metallic dark champagne-ish sort of colour. hard to describe.
anyway i pulled around it, and looked in the front window and saw a camera mounted to the windscreen... they then pulled in behind me, but i couldnt see out of my back window cause of water droplets. anyway, this is the 2nd mobile speed camera ive seen trawling the M4 around that area in as many weeks. last week it was a White BA wagon. the back window and rear wagon windows were blacked out, and the other windows also had a mirror tint on them. wondering if anybody else has seen these cars around that area?

The white BA wagon with bull bar and what looks like 20% mirror tints is famous around Sydney. It does on Heathcote road, Heathcote at least once a week.
I've seen it on President Ave in the Shire as well. EDIT: If i remember correctly it has tints on the front windscreen as well |

White AU wagons with Illegal tint and bullbars are the weapon of choice up my way.

Interesting, pursuing "Speeding" drivers by any means necesary.
But really we have some many laws in Australia that it's impossible to not break one or two on a daily basis. |

This is the first time I have heard of the police using a Jeep, especially given the premium that such vehicle would cost over the normal police falcon (which always seem to be the speed camera cars).
Are you sure it was a police vehicle and not sum knob running around with a video camera excetra on the car? |

I understand that police can break a law to stop someone else breaking the law, ie they can exceed speed limits to catch someone who is exceeding the speed limit, but that seems different to breaking the law to "hopefully" catch someone else breaking the law! If they don't catch any offenders in their Jeep etc, then it sounds to me like the only law breakers out that day were the law enforcers?? or is that a monty python script I am thinking of?

You can't pick undercover cars these days! Have seen an xr8 with GT stripes
and P plates, only picked it as undercover car when it pulled someone over! |
