This footage of mine was taken yesterday 14th April, whilst travelling eastbound on the Great Western Highway at Woodford NSW 2778. Within 9 seconds of the footage can be seen a local Blue Mountains Local Area Command highway patrol car - a BMW 5-Series - parked in a side street (Glen Street, Woodford), whilst a highway patrol officer is spotted sitting crossed-legged, behind foliage on the street corner, aiming a radar gun at approaching eastbound vehicles: Hence, my expletive at the 10-second mark.
This sort of underhanded behaviour by Australian police has been noted and reported on in the past, the most immediate example I can bring to mind is the following article from 2019:
'A new low': Speeding tickets issued by police officer hiding in bushes will stand
