Central Coast Highway Patrol cars - what the???

[David See]

Hi all,

Of late I have been noticing more and more new local highway patrol cars getting around WITHOUT the usual radar device hanging off the side window - I cannot see them anywhere on the car. Typically the new Commodores.

I saw a white one the other day without the device on the side and today I was scared by a bright purple VE parked around a bend on an on-ramp to the F3 at Somersby - just where the 80 zone goes into the 110 zone. Whoops! Of course I was acellerating in the 80 zone for the upcoming 110 zone. Double whoops! There he was sitting quietly on the left shoulder with only the rear of his light bar flashing. Not sure why. He was jammed up against the armco railing...

Is there some kind of new technology that allows the radar units to be hidden now?

Can they detect to the front AND rear?
