Unmarked slick top cars should not be working "traffic squad". Dangerous as shit. Rear window red/blues, taillight red/blues, rear directional bar, front windshield red/blues, headlight red/blues, flashing headlights, push guard red/blues, side window red/blues, and side mirror red/blues. Considering that it's illuminated exactly the same as a traditional car, and also considering that for approaching traffic a traditional black and white cruiser and a blacked out slick top appear the same could you explain how that's more dangerous? |

Frankly all police vehicles should be clearly marked. None of this bullshit stealth operators. Yup. The minute they start using unmarked cars for traffic enforcement, the whole "It's about public safety" argument goes right out the fucking window. You can do 10 times more to increase safety on the road by sitting visibly in a marked car by the side of the road than you can by hiding behind a billboard in your sneaky stealth operator tactical revenue-wagon. |

I looked at our local traffic docket for today. It's the Highway Patrol's day for traffic court. Their cases are:
Unlawful Speed: 5 cases, 1 was for 30mph or over. Careless Driving: 3 cases Improper Backing: 2 cases Fail to Obey Traffic Control Device: 1 Drop/Secure Load: 1 Fail to Move Over for an Emergency Vehicle:1 Improper Passing on the Right:1 Follow Too Closely to Vehicle: 1 Expired Tag (6 Months or Less): 1 The HP in my state is heavily vested in traffic enforcement, it's their primary gig. So 15 cases are being contested and of those 5 are speeding tickets. The tickets for Improper backing are most likely written for accidents and there is a good chance that the Following Too Closely is also for an accident. That is FHP's primary duties traffic enforcement and crash investigations on the state's interstates, highways and unincorporated roadways. |

State tacked on a "Surcharge" to all violations. In the end run, it will cost you around $400ish. Those that say tickets are about revenue are somewhat correct, but not for the local departments. The state gets the surcharge, 0 goes to the town. |

PA Traffic Ticket Fines and Costs Under normal circumstances, all traffic tickets cost the same throughout the state. Fines are determined by violation, and those fines are the same throughout Pennsylvania. Most tickets have the exact fine printed on them; check your ticket for your fine. Conveniently, court costs and other surcharges are?typically?the same throughout the state, too. This is because the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC) sets a uniform standard. |

To some, it's a game and they think both parties should be on a level playing field. I've said it before if "revenue generation" pisses you off so much then all you have to do to deny them that revenue is not violate traffic laws. Or, lobby your lawmakers to change traffic laws. I personally have a 15mph over minimum for most speeding citations I issue. That goes down depending on attitude and prior traffic histroy. Also, a radar detector will earn you an automatic citation regardless of how much you were going over. |

I cant wait for the ARFCops to argue why any of the above isn't a good idea. Reality has very little to do with the "It's all about the revenue" folks. It just reinforces my belief that a lot of GD members just cannot drive worth a damn. I never get pulled over in my POV but I come to GD and getting pulled over seems to be the bain of their existence. A good while back there was a "How often do you get pulled over" thread. Quite a few guys were in the high teens. How that is even possible eludes me. |

Shit we had a triffic cop driving around for months in a suburban with a "watch for motorcycles" sticker, stick family and no license plate. Not talking about a small town cop either.
Another members pic of him.  |

I agree it's stupid. In my state (at least a few years back when I was in LE) 4 inch or larger lettering was required to be on the vehicle to identify it so that it could be used for traffic enforcement.
That being said, I agree that it's a waste of money to bother putting those decals on. Either used a marked unit or don't depending on the task. |

From the time I started driving at 16 to this day I've been pulled over maybe 4 times.

There are dozens that stay so low key that you would have no idea they were LE or that they even exist. It still doesn't diminish the fact that some people want to stay as anonymous as possible when dealing with others in the EE to avoid Arocking because some person has a problem with LE and can get their info in an EE transaction. Seems like you guys don't even know

I saw one the other day. It was a Chattanooga PD car, and it was white on white sitting on the right shoulder of a 4 lane divided highway. My thought was that I had already slowed down because there was a vehicle commonly used as a police cruiser (this one was an Impala, but the same holds true for Chargers, Crown Vics, Explorers, Tahoes, etc.) sitting on the right shoulder. I didn't even notice the ghost graphics on the side until I passed it, which would have been too late anyway.

A little town next to me has a black TransAm speed trap car. All of the lights are tucked inside and the markings are in dark purple. To top it off, it has custom billet rims and Nitto tires. Nothing about it says "cop car" unless your standing right next to it.
