I've seen a Dodge Shadow with a light bar...but it was just the meter maid...I mean parking specialist.
And I think they get a total of 60 shootings a year with 5 million people.

[quote name='Baldy' date='Jul 9 2003, 01:02 PM'] [quote name='phinsup' date='Jul 9 2003, 03:57 PM'] I don't understand how an unmarked car can benefit anyone.
I think we are getting off track EVERYTIME the state or county wants more funding, they say it is due to reponse time to incidents and understaffed police dept. Tell me how unmarked helps those factors? You can't because it doesn't, it hinders them. Half the time I see the cop car before I hear it and pull over, that is not possible with unmarked.

As a whole, unmarked cars might not be good. For our area and situations, I don't mind having them around. [/quote]
How does an unmarked help any of that? I would think the increased visibility. Also you need to keep in mind who feeds yout he statistics on this BS, do you honestly believe that undercover stings have put a stop to underage drinking LOL
They are just doing it somewhere else and trust, if you ever taken a statistics class in college you know what I am talking about, statistics are a joke.
That's putting a cop on a road for a week to give out tickets, then pulling him and claiming there is NO more speeding LOL [/quote]
Might as well just make all cop cars unmarked. And instead of officers in uniform just make all cops undercovers.

In our city, there are so many unmarked squads that are not crown vics or impala. I've seen unmarked sables, chevy malibus and even many SUVS. I was chased a month ago by some crack head with a gun, if that cop wasn't marked, I could have been dead.

one time i was driving home from traffic court on the highway, i came up on a chevy lumina with one of those old people carts on the back. i saw the driver pointing a laser speed moniter at cars coming past. i guess he was radioeing which cars were speeding to other units. craziest thing i've ever seen as far as cop cars go.
