Call me naive but I thought it was an offence to give the plod a fake name?

I found this article in the Canberratimes hilarious.

However, numerous times now I have seen Police standing in the middle of the road handing out fines in 80 km/hr areas. I called up the Police enquries, because if you didn’t [...]
