Warning the christchurch police are using a yellow nissan s15 looks dodgy as 5% tints lowered etc. they are using it as bait so they want people to race it and then ping them for street racing. DONT RACE IT IF YOU VALUE YOR CAR AND LICENCE!!!!!

[Timmah]

Hope you didn't find out the hard way 8)

[96WRX]

Na i watched it happen to a group of people lol stuipd skyline owner!!

[familyman]

If it had 5% tints, doesn't that make it illegal and thus any infringement notices issued void?

[96WRX]

na they are using a muffty car to ping you not the s15. they are being smart about it.

[familyman]

Ok. So it wasn't this guy

driving it?

HUH??

[familyman]

Undercover cop infiltrating street racing culture?

And are you sure it was bait car? Not just some cock in a S15 racing a skyline and the cop happened to be there?

[96WRX]

na the s15 pulled over and a uniformed cop got out. so im pretty sure its a bait car.

[familyman]

So then I wonder if that is classed as entrapment. As in they "tricked", for want of a better word, you into breaking the law in the first place.

[WRXER]

One could argue that, olds news though tbh. Chch police have been doing that for years and years, just the cars change.

Don't see any problems though, don't race or do anything stupid lol

I remember YEARS ago in Auckland, the police had an S14 turbo, they used to turn up to the drags and bait people to race.

Every major town has or has had some sort of bait car. Hell back in the late '90s in Palmy north, they use to have cops in a crappy old Vaxhaull chevette park up at Pork chop hill and relay all the trouble that went on up there.

Isn't using an illegally modified S15 car as bait in an effort to encourage you yo break the law:

> Illegal, as it's illegally modified? I'd take this to court if they got me (not that I'd be racing on the road anyway, being a responsible 'car enthusiast' anyway)

> Entrapment?

Meh if your enough of a tool to race it you deserve to get fined...

[Divine]

If the s15 took off at the lights, Citizens Arrest haha.

[Divine]

They might be doing what they used to do when I had my pulsar and left McD's back in the day when I worked there. They'd follow me onto the motorway and wait and see if some twat wanted to race it (Car looked like a GTiR but was a 1500cc carby) then if that happened they'd ping him and we'd laugh about it the next time they'd come through the drive through. Was good fun ;D

Yeah good times. I heared that they put speed humps down, and then closed it altogether?
