is crime really an issue in new zealand?

Hey guys, just to clarify, I am a Maori Warden and that is actually a Police vehilce. that is the sign of the Iwi Liason Officers, Policemen who worked with local iwi. I was wondering what you meant when you said maori warden vehicle. What we do have though are vans which you may see parked at various times outside downtown auckland police station. You will see the same branding on the back of the van as the one in this vid. Hope this helps.  Kiwican you make awesome vids mate.

@rawiri091 Ahhh, thanks for the clarification! Yes, I see those Maori Warden vans all the time, saw the branding on the car and made an assumption. I'll go correct the info now! Thanks a lot mate!

You think it purposely has 1 light, or one broken? it's like one of those low profile mufti police vehicles the ones the detectives drive, 2 lights in the grill and the rare lights are in the window, seen one of them yet man?

[thekiwicanuck]

Not sure, it looks like the rear ones are removed altogether and either the blue grille one is burnt out or disabled for legal reasons. Yes re the mufti cars, there is at least one new VE SV6 with grille and taillight LEDS only, and none of the obvious window ones...

Would that be on the Coromandel Peninsula?

[thekiwicanuck]

Dunno where its based, I saw it outside Central Station in Aucks. Won't be the only one...

@thekiwicanuck theres heaps of them, radio in the glove box light and siren panel in the sunglass holder in the roof. sneaky.

Does the government pay for the Maori Warden vehicles?

[thekiwicanuck]

I've had a look at their website, but I'm not sure who funds what. They have a new Toyota van as well, which is often parked outside the Central Police Station.
