Default Sneakey Police car!!

Blue XR8 out western Sydney way with a numberplate of 'CELL' (least they've got humour) getting around, doesn't even have the antennas sticking off the back window but the tiniest blue/red lights on the dash.

Thats what i was led to believe aswell.
This is serious entrapment!
Id be fighting it in court, No matter how little a fine.
It's not on!
Years ago when a cop was hidden on along the road, in the trees it was entrapment.
Now they loop hole it as OH&S oohh i needed the shade etc.

They can do what they like, when they like, how they like.

Deal with it.

Total BS.. you watch too many US soapies. There's no such thing as entrapment here.
If you're profoundly stupid enough to street race or do stupid things in front of other cars in the belief they arent police then you deserve to be caught.
