Back in my more youthful days I was pulled over by the Victorian highway patrol out of sale (down Gippsland way). In those days they had 351 Candy Cars. Very visible and very fast. I was doing 120 in a 100 zone between Sale and Stratford (going to pick up a young lady for the first time in my suit & tie). Only had my license for 6 months (still on P plates). All in all I was buggered. Two days later I received a phone call from the highway patrol Sgt to report to the Police Station where upon I received a very heavy talking to and a good swift boot in the arse, with a warning to slow down (it worked-for a little while). I later found out that my father and the surf club Captain (also the local Mayor) had spoken to the highway patrol sgt about this matter.
Lucky break, anyway the police are using WRX Suburu's (unmarked) in north Queensland now and in particular between most small towns.

Seems they are getting a bit serious.
