Queensland, Australia PD Plan foiled by Drivers

A facebook group popped up earlier this month by the name, Police Cars, Gotta catch'em all. The Queensland, Australia police department were trying to take covert ops to the level by deploying hidden speed cameras and increasing the amount of unmarked police cruisers with automated enforcement devices.

One thing I found amusing was the fact that the police department or other officials in Queensland were referring to the unmarked cars as "Q-Cars". This is a reference to the the heavily armed merchant ships, "Q-Ships", that were used to lure German U-boats to the surface so they could be destroyed. So are the Q-Cars destroying the bad driving habits of local drivers Queensland?

Members of the facebook group have been taking photos of the unmarked cars as they see them and posting the pictures to the page along with the location they were found in. Police officers have also been spotted by members of the group driving vehicles with bumper stickers and student driver emblems. Law enforcement is getting sneaky.

Here's a link to some of the pictures that have been taken and posted thus far. Unmarked Cars
