Being a bathurst local, the police presence is unbelievable. Its hard to get around town without being pulled over. I have actually been working at the bathurst police station this week and the local police are doing a great job and keeping out of the way of locals trying to work, and dealing with the riff raff, but the police ring ins with attitude from other areas are a pain and make life difficult for everybody especially for locals.
On any of the highways around Bathurst at the moment you would pass a police car evey 10k's. On race week I usually get breath tested 3 times each year.
They confiscate truck loads of alcohol each year at the entry to the track.... I'd love to know where it all goes.
