I've seen the black lettering ones, but only on Burb cops whose main responsibility is harassing their upper middle class overlords and snacking at gourmet eateries. Never seen one of these polar bear stealth cars that google shows up

I don't know if it's true, but I have been listening to the "Bosch" books on audiotape and they claim that police detectives were issued black and white cars with no lights on top in the 90s to fool the public into thinking there were more patrol cars on the street than there were.

It's still technically not an unmarked car. You just have to look closer.

We have a shit load of those around here, as well as several chargers in black and some in orange. The chargers have absolutely no markings at all, only a couple stubby antennas and some led light in the grill.

Any vehicle that is tasked with traffic enforcement and performing roadside stops should be clearly marked with department name on all four sides, have roof top warning lights and chevron striping on the rear.
I cant wait for the ARFCops to argue why any of the above isn't a good idea. |

I'm fine with Columbo driving up in his beater. He doesn't pull people over. 
Also, I started watching Columbo recently on Netflix. It's pretty entertaining, even if it's 1:15 long and he violates people's rights every episode.

A local department has one in all white with the the badging that can only been seen when the light hits it right. They use it to sit along the 4 lane road through town that goes from 45 to 25 in the span of a like 1/2 mile.

Traffic cars? Unless the officer is making up/fabricating violations, whats the issue? Drive the speed limit, don't run red lights, don't cut thru the gas station to avoid a traffic control device, don't turn where signage prohibits it, etc, etc, etc.
These should be specialty assigned vehicles, not used for routine patrol (I know, I know...no such thing as routine...I'll wash my mouth out with soap later...) Normal patrol vehicles? I agree they should be clearly marked. |
