Marking borne by all the
police vehicles in
Mad Max, even by the
Black Interceptor and
Nightrider's stolen
Pursuit Special. Stands for
Main Force Patrol. You can see right at the start of the film (where
Roop is
perving on the
fucking couple with his
telescopic sight) a sign by the road saying 'This Highway Monitored by Main Force Patrol', which has been
graffitied to say '
Arse Patrol'.
The force's
jurisdiction is dedicated to cars and roads, for example
high speed chases and
accidents. The cars in the force are positively
orgasmic, being mainly early seventies
Ford Falcon XA/XB
sedans and
coupes, painted red, yellow, and dark blue. The headquarters are the
dilapidated '
Halls of Justice' (which is an ex-
gasworks in
Melbourne), and the uniform for the force is all
leather.
Not to be confused with
Metropolitan Fire Brigade
