I was waiting for some friends outside the cinema at Garden City on Thursday night when I noticed the VE Commodore I had parked next to had a rear mounded LED light bar on the parcel shelf. The car had only 1 antenna on the front window, had pursuit rims (hidden behind hubcaps) but had no front deckblaster or TADIS.
A few mins later a man came out of the cinemas dressed in business attire and got in a drove off....
was thinking maybe this was just a work car rather than an active police car??

Well yes its most likely not a general duties car, could be any from any one of the many different devisions etc I guess not fitted with a radio, just a mobile phone (I guess if they ever went to a scene that needed a radio they can just take a portable, but it may just be a crime car or someone that gets called to a job via mobile, and it may just have a blue beacon inside to stick on the roof rather than a deckblaster?)

As discussed previously there is no such thing as an "undercover" car unless it is literally under a cover. They are called unmarked cars because that is exactly what they are...unmarked.
1 antenna = 1 radio........deck blaster on floor probably because it suits them. Only cars with digital radio/TADIS have the three antenna.

Sure the rear Lightbar wasn't the brake light? Maybe the aerial could have been for mobile phone or a cb radio.
