CPS in action @ Macleod/Anderson

[nismodrifter]

anyone see CPS pullin over a bunch of cars within a couple hundred meters in front of Avenida mall on northbound macleod??? There was 2 cars pulled over within about 100m of each other and also spotted an officer on motorcycle with sirens on chasing down another person...nutz0rs!!

Also spotted photoradar on deerfoot today....I was going at the limit and spotted a rather normal looking red Chrysler van with hazards on sittin in the shoulder...looked like any normal driver pulled over to talk on the phone or something...drive by the thing and radar is in there nailin people...had me f00led f0r sure. I think they do need it on deerfoot though considering the number of people who are rippin through the fast lane at speeds of like ~140 km/h...hopefully the nice fine will teach some of those idiots a lesson

hmm, i heard it was illegal for them to run those vans with hazards on

[Kirbs17]

Seriously? The last 4 photorader CPS ive seen have all had their 4-ways on

[Akagi Redsuns]

Seen one with the 4-ways on but parked in the left shoulder lane. Odd.

[AllGoNoShow]

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Your allowed to put 4 ways on if it will help improve your safety ont he side of the road when you are pulled over. The issue CPS and other police services were having, is they had thier 4 ways on, hood popped and a tire jacked up as if they were chanign a flat, but photoradar was on inside the van, it was giving people a false illusion of other peoples safety and providing assistance. Make any sense?

[kenny]

Someone with a big truck should pull up beside the van with hazards on (blocking the camera of course) then ask if they need any assistance.

[Z_Fan]

I thought it was illegal - period - to stop on deerfoot! Unless it was a problem with the vehicle, etc.

[youngbex]

cops are above the law, if you try and say anything they will give you more tickets

Those things are so obvious parked on deerfoot. I see them all the time with the flashers on. It's pretty hard to miss them unless there is heavy traffic! Anyways, 100km/h on deerfoot is rediculous but I won't get into that now...

[googe]

haha i guess if anything its a good thing they use the flashers, theyre pretty easy to spot already, thatll just make them that much harder to miss

ya i made a thread about the beige ford excursion they had pulling people over. it was him and a dark purple ghost car right infront of avenida. took me by surprise to see two in such a short space.

lol....we pulled over for a few minutes in avenida, giving us the opprotunity to catch on to their little scheme.....they had an officer standing on the canyon meadows bridge catching all the speeders from above, then getting on his radio and telling one of four un-marked crown vics to come out of avenida and snag them. They had a good little rotation going on, sneaky fuckers haha.

uhmmm hate to burst your bubble they'll be doing their "swarm patrols" soon since its summer. for those of you who dont know.

1 marked cruiser on an over pass on deerfoot.

anywhere from 8 to 14 police motorbikes which are signalled to pull over certain drivers. I've seen this done a few times and its crazy.

I hate to burst your bubble. But they do that year round. They have a man running laser on an overpass, and i dont know where u got your figures, But they have pull over units, usually unmarked cars, or like u said bikes in the summer. its nothing new.

GPomp and i saw this on Macloed... It was actually pretty dirty.... They had a ghost car and truck parked on the side of the exit lane from Canyon Meadows Dr to Macloed North so no traffic heading north could see the cars.

Then they had one guy on the over pass with a radar/laser gun.

And as soon as he tagged someone he'd radio it to one of the ghost cars which would then chase the guy down and pull him over...

Infact the GMC Tan colored Ghost car Pulled out right infront of me as i was going down the ramp. I thought he had just pulled over and something was wrong as his hazards were on. I didnt know it was a ghost car at first, then all of a sudden the lights start going. and he's chasing down somebody.

[dymz999]

when they do it with bikes they are pulling over 60 or more people in a hour all the time. its not very nice at all lol. then again you generally need to be going 15+ to get yanked.

Southbound deerfoot at 64Ave overpass North. Units are on the off ramp. Slow down there!

Some day they will cause an accident and kill someone with their big SUVs LOL. What would happen if you rearened them as they pulled out in front of you?

[djstefan]

If you see a car on the side of the road, always slow down.

Also, I have seen the photoradar on the 70 zone with construction on Deer Foot. Good thing they put it there cause too many innocent workers are being run over by drivers who don't care.
