they claim that they're not trying to be sneaky. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif



I know Crown Vics are dead-giveaways for cops, but all taxis and many state vehicles are crown vics around here. Plus it's florida, so there's lots of old people in crown vics. Time to start driving slower https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png .

yeah they have these low profile light bars here, the funny part is you can even see that they are on

in NJ here they also have the low profile light bar on the back of the car. Then for the front, they put strobes into the rear view mirrors and under the center mirror in the cabin.



sneaky sneaky - but none of those things can get rid of the smell of bacon.

A lot of police cars around here don't have a light bar at all.

hardly any of our highway patrols have lightbars, and they're all camaros now. Our local cops are gonna have lights on the dash and grill, if I'm not mistaken.

Personally I think the unmarkeds defeat the purpose of what law enforcment should be all about... safety. there is more safety in presence for one and second, if you are in need of help you could walk or drive right by several unmarked cars, that ain't right.

Don't take that protect and serve stuff too seriously. They should change it to "To hide, deceive, and catch."

Make up some stickers that say that and we'll put them on cop cars.



My friend Carl and two of his friends did that...they completely marked an unmarked car. Maybe I should buy a sticker plotter of my own...lol.

I think it's a good idea for traffic cops, like for catching speeders and what-not. But I'm sure there will always be clearly marked vehicles at large gatherings and such, as their presence mantains peace.
