Waikato Mongrel Mob say police blatantly tried to intimidate its members after they stormed a party to celebrate a trio of birthdays, including that of their leader Sonny Fatu.
Mob Kingdom spokeswoman Louise Hutchinson counted 14 police vehicles - including several vans, a paddy wagon and marked and unmarked police cars - and about 40 officers in and around the outside of the Irondog building on Bandon St, Frankton on Saturday night.
New Zealand Police Force’s New Unmarked Car Made Useless By Epic Fail ++ A little Photoshop skill goes a long way.
Digitally altering photos in Photoshop is pretty easy on a basic level. That also means folks with more knowledge can easily unalter such photos. The Waikato Police department in New Zealand learned this lesson the hard way after boasting about a new unmarked car on Facebook. A quick digital blackout hid the identity of the vehicle, but a simple image flip revealed it as Holden s version of the Chevrolet Equinox. How embarrassing.
To the credit of Waikato Police, they seem to be good sports about the public outing of their not-so-secret patrol vehicle. The original Facebook post showing the masked car has been removed, but they followed up with a conciliatory post stating their message of anywhere, anytime remains the same.
