Tom,

The new Protective Service Markings have just been rolled out and will be on all new AFP PS cars that come out.

The AFP is trying to increase its image in the Community by having high visabilty police cars out there. The words Protective Service will no longer appear on the cars at all.

Effectively, you will have AFP Police Vehicles being driven by Protective Service Officers.

Isnt that a bit of a worry?

What if they get flagged down by a citizen, what powers can Protective service officers excersize?

if they have radios, they can call for assistance?

I guess they could call for assistance or do whatever they can wirh what they have. Community Policing is not their role.

who said they'll stop. they probly keep on driving

Luke do you have decals on your bike ?

that takes me back to that picture someone did up of hm681/whatever he called himself the second time and his camera set up on his pushy.....

LOL i remember that...

What happened to our mate shank.ed

Back on topic....

I personally dont find anything wrong with the PC GURU car, looks great IMO, the signwriter done a great job and doesnt resemble a police vehicle at all. Obviously its doing its advertising job quite well !!
