I have friends in the job and they cringe knowing that goes to air.
It's the same thing over again, as soon as they see the camera & srew they automatically play up to it.

I reckon that young bloke was pretty cool about it, and funny too. Bit of a larikin. i like the end of the show where they said what his fines were, and his stereo was worth $2000, and the car $500!

Haha, I think I remember an episode with that short blonde haired copper when she pulled over some guy in a crap box and gave him a ticket or something. He'd been pulled over before so he either didn't have his licence on him or he had lost it there and then.

Anyway after they'd finished the bloke got back in his car and started to drive off with the lady cop yelling and running behind him "OI WAIT, WAIT YOU CAN'T DRIVE!!"

He pulled up like 50 metres down the road and the lady cop said she'd park it around the corner for him. She got in the car and started coughing and her face went all white because the car stunk so much. Every 20secs she'd cough and go "OMG this car smells horrid" while also explaining that the seat was very "wet" and that she hoped it was water.

Made me laugh

It just reminds me of how f......ed up Victoria is.

I remember watching an episode in which at midnight they had a roadworks zone of 40 on a highway of 100 zone. There was no road works at all, there was hardly any traffic that late at night and the highway was seperated by any activity with concrete barriers - so basically there should be no roadworks zone at all, but here they have a highway patrol officer sitting there in there darkness pinging people.

He got one guy for doing 110, bang on 70 over.... automatic loss of licence and the car impounded. Just disgraceful. These officers are doing the community/police relationship no good. Yet they wonder why people are losing respect for the police.

i hate that. they should close the work zone if they aren't working and there's no surface disruption.
