Unmarked police cars ...

[ronwest]

Had an unmarked police car inc plain clothes cop in the relatively busy street at the end of our street last week.

I didn't know it was there but someone asked me if I'd been behaving myself and to be careful

I could see it from our place and it was there from at least 11am when I was told about it to about 3.15pm.

Being a sticky beak I went for a drive at lunchtime and the cop was sitting in there with a camera (not a speed camera, a real camera).

As I'm an expert in these matters I deduced that one of the nearby houses was of interest to the police. After a bit of thought I worked out which one it was. Always thought they were a bit dodgy.

Fast forward to this morning and I had a police officer through work (I work from home).

As a joke I asked her what was happening and explained the excitement.

Turns out there was a statewide blitz on drivers using mobile phones.

Unmarked car/cop takes pics of ppl using mobile phone then radios to uniformed officers a km or so down the road.

My cop was a part of it on the other side of town where they booked 26 drivers in 5 hours.

Be careful... and apologies to my not so dodgy neighbours...
