Here is where Shakespeare's timeless question gets stretched to it's limit; Does a rose by any other name smell just as sweet? Or adapted: Does KITT, recreated in part by Aussie coppers, bust just as many bad guys? The cool swooshy light show will be roofside instead of in the nose, but it does a lot of the stuff that got our collective 12 year old engines revved. How about starting with the solid base of a Holden Commodore VE, add realtime cameras that stream video back to base, voice recognition, automatic plate recognition, and get this - the ability to fire a GPS enabled tracking dart into a cars' backside. Now doubt hoons everywhere will respond with rotating number plates, hardened trunk lids impervious to darts, and lasers. Also, turbo boost. What? You mean life doesn't imitate art?

newVideoPlayer("AussieCopHoon_gawker.flv", 475, 376); The Aussie policehoon we told you about yesterday has been identified as a 30-year-old first class constable of the West Australian police. The officer had a reasonable excuse, as the organizer of a local carshow asked the trained pursuit driver to show off his moves. Nevertheless, the local authorities are trying to send a message and have suspended the cop over the impromptu demonstration. An interesting twist, his wife and partner was in the passenger side of the car but has not been suspended. All of this happened more than a year ago, but it's politically convenient to make an issue out of this now. [ The Age ]

newVideoPlayer("AussieCopHoon_gawker.flv", 475, 376);It's a mystery to the Australian police how this Falcon radio car ended up doing dirt-slinging donuts for a crowd of onlookers. But it's no mystery to us. Though the cops can't be sure it's a police officer behind the wheel of the cruiser, we imagine it's a highway patrolman that's tired of the hoons having all the fun. While the cops are promising to "get to the bottom of the incident," we'll continue to enjoy watching the added joy that sirens and lights bring to hoonage. No word yet on if they'll crush the cruiser when they find it. [ News.com.au ]
