I've got photos of my old man on his old Honda cop bike infront of an XB sedan, off yellow, single blue light on the roof, Vic police decal on the doors and siren on the bonnet.

Also got photos of him as a leather legged lout with a dodgy 70's porno mowie, but we won't go there!

I remember XC cop cars from when I was a kid.. double bubbles!. I remember a sky blue unmarked one pulling my mum over for speeding (first and only ticket she has ever had).

Geez arresting someone and throwing em in the back of a hardtop would be deemed cruel and unusual punishment I reckon.
