The California CHP is using these SUV's and I love them - I can see that black behemoth coming up on me from 5 miles back!

I was assigned an unmarked tinted out Dodge Intrepid when I was assigned to the speed enforcement unit. Nobody suspected me. I used to sit in plain view with my 4 ways on running radar and lidar. Too much fun... Something like fish in a barrel?

What you need to be watching out for is the new "stealth" marked police vehicles; you can barely even see the markings in broad daylight:

You shouldn't be in real trouble if you own a S, those cars barely reach 150 MPH...

In VA they have all kinds of unmarked cop cars. Some are not even domestic. Very sneaky

THOSE GUYS are BRUTAL. And radar detectors illegal---confiscated on the spot! Talk about an un-level playing field. And the nicest, curviest, most scenic roads there to tempt us! It's just not fair...:troll:

VA is so bad, I was picking up a fugitive from NC driving down RT13 in a marked car and got pulled over for going 15 over posted! In a marked police car! No love for VA Cops from their neighbors in Delaware.

No, It would have been ugly if it went down like that. We had a very heated discussion on the side of road, he said they received many calls about the speeding Delaware cop car... I reported the incident to my admin who in turn tried to get copies of all the alleged 911 calls. They couldn't produce any. Plus I had my admin pull my mobile vision records which documented the incident and my speed prior to getting pulled. My highest speed was 70 mph in a 55 area. Since then I have ticketed one officer and several family members of officers from said agency. I told all I've ticketed they can thank said officer ( and I give his name ) for the professional courtesy they receive in Delaware. This was way back in 2004!
