POLICE HELICOPTERS

[FTO-BOY]

Hey guys,

Havent been here in a while thats coz i've lost my license for 3 months.

I just thought I'd let everyone know here that NSW Police are now using Helicopters to target speeding vehicles. My friend got pulled over by a cop. He said the police said that he was doing 84 in a 70 zone and on top of him was a helicopter flying low. They are trying it out for 6months apparently. Thats what the cop said to him. Oh and they let him of with a warning.

Are they earning so much from fines that they can use choppers now?

Their fuel is way higher grade than our's and engine revs are like 10k rpm, all the time.

Not to mention the pilot's eyesight is probably better too.

No its because the police care about the safety and well-being of Australian motorists ...
