Re: Police caught baiting with P plated unmarked XR8

This certainly isn't a new tactic. 20 years ago I had a VR P plated Commode line up my XWGT at a set of lights and rip it when it turned green on Parramatta Rd. I've never been one to bite at a drag on a public street so I never took the bait.
5 minutes further down the road, I passed the same car - who had pulled over a Honda. Perhaps they couldn't resist the temptation.
As to whether it's right or not. I probably side more towards it being a valid tactic. Public roads aren't race tracks and if you're going to treat it as one with such little provocation, I'd rather you do it versus an unmarked cop car provided they immediately shut it down when it's obvious that the other party is engaging in a street race and not wait to see how far/fast they're willing to take it.
