Spotted this morning on the M7 - 2 motorcycle police doing stationary radar at the Richmond Rd. exit northbound.

Must be having a purge atm, marked copper doing Ricmond Rd exit through to Henry Lawson Drive exit on M7 around 6.30am this morning, cruising, pulling in in the hot view spots, etc etc.

Problem is he couldn't catch the TURBO

They were behind the concrete barrier and no hi-vis vests on - exit to Windsor coming from GWH'way

Didn't see them this morning, but there was an unmarked white SS ute that I followed all the way from the GWH till he pulled someone over near Quakers Hill.

were they out of their cars/ off their bikes???

they made the NSW police stop using the radar gun in anything over 80km/hr after a copper got run over by a skidding car ont he F3. where they uses to be in between the north and southbound pulling in cars from the fastlane.

Not quite true, they are allowed to use their gun from the side of the road outside of their vehicle, they are not allowed to walk out in front of traffic in anything over 80km/h. In this situation there are two officers, one with the radar and one to chase so not breaking of any rules. Please note that this is union based OHS rule not a law, so it is still possible for them to do this and you have no leg to stand on.

The motorcylce coppers are seen there at the Richmond Road exit on a semi regular basis, one Friday afternoon there were up to 8 bikes that I counted as part of a radar trap and they had 2 or 3 pulled over within a kilometre of the exit.

An undercover SS ute, I have to see that, as I don't believe that complies with their pursuit requirements

the last time i went on the m7 i saw a fully decked out hwp car pinging people from behind the centre lane concrete barrier. i think its the same spot you guys are talking about, sounds about right too.

Awesome work by the coppers "lets go and bust people on probably the safest road in the damn country - rather than slow hoons down on the great western hwy"....
