I thought there were a few chosen civilians that were paid to drive around with them. Not sure if they are paid by the " hit" or how it worked...

Not sure I know kcmo has them. What you saw may have been a contract unit.which I know nothing about...OR you saw fed.
What I mean is kcmo has them and you would know its a marked PD tag. |

Quoted: So, I was leaving a local area healthcare facility on Wednesday, and was passed in the lot by an old crown vic with them on the trunk as he leisurely drove through the lot. I thought, WTF? No markings on this old shitty crown vic. No uniform on the driver and car had MO plates, facility was in KS. Anyone care to enlighten me on these? I thought they are strictly LEO tool. Reports are that repo men are using them too. |

Probably a repo company.
The units cost in the tens of thousands if dollars just FYI. |

Yes, probably repo guys. They cruise malls, apartment complexs, and other high traffic/probability areas. There's an outfit her in MO that not only has them on cars, but at least on one wrecker truck. When the economy went tilt, the repro biz blew up.

I have seen one driving around the mall lots in indp on a beat up black acord.
Also kcmo has them and at least quite a few. They were parking 4-7 patrol cars in the triangle dailythe past week or so. Both the cars and explorers all had the plate system on them. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Could be all of the above, as well as college kids hired to run them as well. The company who the MOPCA has selected as their designated format uses college kids and similar part time employees to drive cars equipped with LPR's.

Noticed an unmarked black Crown Vic cruising So. City yesterday.
Also noticed a well marked STL city car cruising around the Benton Park neighborhood. |

Thx for all the input, makes sense on the repo man. It had regular MO plate, not the PD style plate, but UC cars have standard plates.
Heard about this on radio today With him being a lawyer and getting stopped, what are the ramifications? I'm torn on them...... |

"As it turned out, though, the license scanner mounted on the car had misread a "7? on Molner’s license plate as a "2.” The alert the officer received was related to a stolen Oldsmobile. Molner was driving a black BMW." Sounds like PVKS has some folks incapable of independent thinking employed in their PD.  |

All the explanations sound good but my guess would be that they were looking for the KC highway shooter. Police: GPS tracking, bizarre behavior, tips led to suspect's capture
