Linedance posted:I saw a sneaky bastard police car yesterday, had someone pulled over... Unmarked silver generic minivan with a stick figure family sticker in the (tinted) back window. Oh and low profile LED reds and blues behind the glass and a couple of barely noticeable low profile antennae on the roof. I got stopped once by a Ford Aerostar with peeling paint and a lot of primer. The only clue it might be LEO-related was the tint was illegally dark (and all the red/blue lights were behind the tint).

I feel like I'd wouldn't pull over for a rapey looking Aerostar even if it did have red and blues on.

Seat Safety Switch posted:I don't know what thread to put this in. Would, wrong thread. Perhaps not that color, but I'd still take it. I saw something sad the other day on my drive home. An S13 coupe, not a dent to be seen on it, no body mods... aside from the most god-awful camber job I've seen on a car. I mean, this thing didn't look mathematically possible. It was horrible. It also had what looked like a $100 Maaco special metallic green paintjob on it. That poor thing, I feel like Sarah McLachlan should've been singing in the background, and asking me to donate to the American Silvia Protection Society looking at that thing. However, there's also an unstanced, excellent condition seafoam colored one in my town too, I see it on a rare occasion. Fingers crossed it's grandma's grocery car, and someday she decides to sell...

Yeah that's when you call the cops on the phone to find out if you are actually getting pulled over. I guess if it is a cop for real then you get an illegal phone use ticket on top of your speeding ticket. Around me I've seen a stock silver Chevy Malibu running around the highway pulling people over. They don't use too many unmarked cars around where I am but that one fits right in with normal traffic.

It makes rapists real loving happy (I want to say the zodiac killer or some other serial killer used this). Say what you will about CA, but our laws on traffic enforcement are pretty decent.

Indiana used to have a vehicle seizure program so you saw the most ridiculous array of vehicles repurposed into Police cars. Locally they had a PT Cruiser, a Neon SRT4, a 92 SHO and a freaking Samurai.

Pitt County NC had at least one unmarked Mustang.

My car (Renault Mégane RS) is a former unmarked police car. I can imagine how much fun this must have been for the cops, it really looks like some random family car but it goes like a small Porsche

Lewisville TX used to have a 99-00 Civic Si; lowered, aftermarket wheels, intake/exhaust at the least. Supposedly they seized it from someone (this was around 2001). I saw that car bait so many people into a race, only to whip behind them and pull them over.

That's why those sort of unmarked vehicles are kind of hosed though. I mean if you're being chased by a black Taurus with red and blues and a siren on OK it's time to pull over, but an old rusty Aerostar? Feels like a good way to end up on the A&E special about Bubba's rape dungeon.

I don't see why it makes much of a difference - if some theoretical rapist is going to go to the trouble of installing lights to pose as the Police then it's just as likely they'd pick up an ex cop car like that Charger kimbo305 has

I believe the police recommend (but not all officers certainly know this) that you pull over where safe and call 911. "I'm being pulled over by an unmarked <vehicle description with plate> at <place> can you confirm this is the police?"

In FL you do not have to pull over for an unmarked car because several people were murdered by someone pretending to be law enforcement.

Harder, though not impossible, to fake. I really don't know why this isn't national. Oh yeah, sweet sweet dollar bills.

The cop was definitely wearing the right uniform for the city, and we stopped in a busy parking lot.

There are a few different unmarked DPS cars that work the west side of town on I-10. A maroon mini-van of some kind, a blue Impala, and a brown Ford Flex. Those are the ones that I've actually seen with people pulled over anyway. At least they have full light-setup (other than the lack of a roof-rack), not just a dumb dash light or something, so they don't look too 'iffy' if one were to light you up, and the officers are in full uniform when doing traffic stops.

You can signal that you have seen them, and continue to a public place to stop. You are then allowed to not open the doors/windows until the officer shows you official ID.

Yup, awful shite. See also the 'fashion' brand BOY London which seems to be primarily worn by Chinese students around here in a city that was razed in WW2..  They claimed it's not the German eagle but anyone with eyes can see It's just a little too close to be a coincidence.
