i can see someone there saying... 'mac OS? what is a 'mac'?

there are so many grey areas when it comes to that. i'd say you were correct tho. the same goes for milpol or secpol. they only have citizen powers outside of a base (unless in war time conditions) i think. but i do believe that they still have power of arrest etc if the poi is believed to be servin...

is someone gonna post this photo of the elusive vehicle?

The Commodore Wagons never had a quick release button for the dog to 'fly out and catch the crim's' It would be a danger for the gods I spoke to a K9 officer and he told me he has a button that he can press to drop a window if he is away from the vehicle and needs the dog in an emergency.

what breeds do they use?

i was at armadale hospital a few weeks back now and saw a custody officer and a police officer escorting a man into the hospital from the back of a paddy wagon. i thought custody officers were just based at east perth?

blue wrx wagon spotted today on kwinana freeway doing a traffic stop. i'm happy wapol have a diverse fleet of unmarked - makes look twice at every newish car. older generation unmarked cars could be spotted a mile away with their three antennas, pursuit rims and dash/deck lights. these days the wrx ...
