Quite interesting out there - unfortunately 'most' images had to be discarded as someone managed to pop into the shot at the most inappropiate time! But most vehicles had their callsign removed from vehicles all except the metro cars.
SA 'Bearcat' Caused everyone around to laugh when a group of kids were posing in front of the vehicle when a fully armed and masked officer came up behind them and asked them to move. Almight huge scream!

If someone steps on them they will get a cut foot. That is why they had to tell people not to step on them.
Quite dangerous leaving them laying around like that. If it was broken glass they would clean it up straight away. Someone would be quite within their rights to make a claim against the police for leaving them unsafely as in the 13th picture. I have downloaded it and will sent it in to complain.
Spartacus, I think the poster was on about the Joondalup Traffic Car with no decals on the door. But I agree - most vehicles beside traffic were deviod of callsigns.

That is your thoughts and well within your rights, however, I ask that you do not use my image in this case.
They were not left "laying around" they were there as a security measure with officers all trained in their use and the strips supervised at all times tonprevent the atrocity you speak of.......... Please!
Police ute with no pod was the refreshment truck. Delivered water and soft drink to us on the streets.. It was a life saver and a highlight of CHOGM.... Most of the marked cars with no callsigns are old country vehicles that are about to be decommissioned. ( I saw our old traffic car out and about...)
People call me an "Egotistic Jackass"... I prefer the term "Confident Donkey" --->Donks for short
got away with it Friday more unpacking today , again thanks for sharing.
