new police mobile camera vans

[doin donuts]

hey all

i was driving on the mway in auckland today and came across a mobile police van parked on the side, im used to seeing the mitsi l300 vans so when i saw this i was shocked, it was the latest Toyota Previa van, and yes im 100% sure it was a mobile speed camera, saw him setting it up.

just thought id let people know of my find as im used to looking out for the mitsi vans, not that i need to as i always stick to the limit as im sure everyone else here does too

There was a thread about this? Like 6 months ago I think. They've been around for a while now

Also saw a mercedes van/speed camera down by silverdale today

really?bugger me, they are sneaky arent they. better than south africa though, used to hide there vans in the bushes and cover them with leaves etc.

They now seem to have 4 different vans. The old L300, new Previa, new Mercedes and a new Hyundai, and all seem to have completely phased out the Ka band cameras.

Heading down to Taupo just after new years, and went past one camera parked not only on a passing lane in a rest area.........but the guy had his kids with him playing next to the van with all the kids toys stacked around the camera.

now thats sneaky

The police have been using the Previa vans around the central plateau for a good 12 months or so now.

For a second there, I thought you were meaning that they had vans that were MOBILE while taking pics hahaha.

I just keep an eye out for vans on the side of the motorways and roads in general.
Oh, and I stick to the limits most of the times. Well all the time in residential areas.

I'm same as you, usually when ever i spot a van ahead on the side of the road i check my speed. Then find its a courier/builder/plumer van.

At least in Palmy the police seem pretty consistant with the green van down JFK drive. I always make sure I'm doing 50k when going along there!

I normally see them everyday driving to work. I live just out of Wellington and normally see one down Nauranga Gorge and then another tucked in the bush 800m before the Aotea Quay exit! That ones a sneaky $&#$%

there's a few Hyundai speed camera vans around Auckland too

Cops are using everything for anything now, We have a late model Hyundai and a late Model Honda Accord undercover brother patrolling the area I live in, You hear the occaisional "please pull over, This IS the police" coming over their loud speaker.

They are mounting cameras on the dash end of the vans now?

[Mad Murphy]

Seen a few of the Hyundai undercover cars around Christchurch too.

the old flat-deck ute with haybales at Hurunui was the best diguise i have ever seen

[Sideros]

Drive from Palmy to Hawera most days and every single day there is a blue hyundai speed camera van parked up somewhere.

[samlloyd]

Get a bike, speed cameras only matter if your going past them one way

[XSVWGN]

my old man used to work for Esanda Fleet partners from which the police hired all the vans so i would always get a heads up

But now the hyundais and the commodore utes in the wellington region have caught me out once or twice
