People drive like angels until the marked car pulls off the interstate. Then the race and texting is back on again.

good for NJ, with all the hatred of drunk drivers, hope they catch a few

I have no issue with it. The opposition doesn't make sense. NJSP has been using unmarked cars forever, and this car is actually marked, it's just low visibility. Either way, to me it still screams cop car, especially in NJ where it seems only police drive caprices. But people are always looking for reasons to hate on police. And it's usually the people that invite the police into their lives in the first place. And the whole lightbar argument is horsecrap. Between volunteers, landscapers, and contractors, everybody and their mother has a lightbar on their car/truck nowadays. Just because the car has a lightbar doesn't mean it's a cop.
I have tint and was stopped for speeding by a trooper last year. He ignored the tint and gave me a warning. Being polite and taking responsibility for your actions goes a long way with them. Besides, people in the tri-state area drive like effing maniacs. |

Our city PD and county SO both have the low-profile LED lights, and I can still tell at night. I can tell the outlines of the new SUV's OPD just got at night, and those lights are hard to find during the day.
"Stealth cars" for traffic citations is absolutely fucktarded. Awful idea. Just gave criminals another way to rob people, maybe worse. |

Quoted:
That's not a traffic enforcement vehicle, that's a revenue generation vehicle. A marked unit, with an officer with some street sense behind the wheel, can hide and sneak up on speeders very easily. It also has the deterrent factor for everyone who sees it. Not to mention the safety for the person being pulled over that they are actually being pulled over by a police officer, and not a rapist with a surplus crown vic and a suction cup light bar in the windshield. Mmm.. revenue generator. Does it cut me a monthly check? I miss speeder and "Click-It or Ticket" OT. |

Oh, you got a citation from an officer driving a 'marked' unit?
Good luck in court. The officer's statement will say "marked patrol car" or some variation, and now you're a scofflaw because you did whatever you did in front of a marked patrol unit instead of just not seeing an unmarked unit. |

Cars doing traffic stops should at the very least have a full size light bar on the roof. Not worth the cost anymore. A light bar on the roof lets people know without question that the car behind them is actually a police car. Inside headliner bars are not suitable substitutes. Furthermore I question the total cost of ownership since a roof mounted lightbar can be put on a new body style with a couple of cheap brackets while headliner bars are much more specific to a body style limiting their ability to be reused. They did away with lightbars on the last vehicles we bought. iirc they get put three times the amount of strobes on the vehicle for what a lightbar costs.

Is it not a Police State if you can be pulled over for anything, anytime, anywhere? You don't have to actually commit a traffic offense to be stopped, a LEO just has to accuse you of doing it. I actually went to court and beat a case based on this very occurrence. Probable cause be damned anymore, all they need is suspicion of a reason, then you pay to argue it out in court, either way you are paying someone in the "judicial system". I'd probably shit my pants if I knew how much local municipalities made on traffic citations alone. So, you don't have to read after "Police State", you are already a subject of one.
Think about it, if you fail to pay your taxes, your ass goes to jail. Ask Wesley Snipes, he never had a chance. Al Sharpton gets a pass because he's considered a member of the cause. ETA: My ticket was for speeding while on to the IH-35 on ramp, I was cited for 65 in a 45. The cop stated the speed limit on the street was 45, and I was not on the highway, and I have to obey the traffic signs on the road my vehicle is on, not where it's going to be on. I fought it myself, I've never seen a case tossed so fast in my life. They (Prosecutor) wanted to ask for a 1hr continuance so the officer could get his tape. I asked the judge if I would be granted a continuance if I came unprepared for court. BooYA! |

I'm not all butthurt about them. I do think they're dumb though. Just my opinion/preference. I do love doing traffic in an unmarked car. Cars should be regular marked or plain unmarked.
