Driving to Costco today I saw a camouflaged SUV patrol vehicle sporting the "Stick Family" window decals (photo is not the actual vehicle, it was a black SUV, just using the photo for illustration purposes).

If I were bombing down the highway and saw that on the back of a SUV I wouldn't think twice about passing it. Good thing I saw the 4 low profile antennas on the roof and the lights behind the tinted glass.

Bastards are getting more clever.

Should've gotten the plate number haha

Unmarked car should not be allowed to be used for patrol

Agreed. Until I can dress my car up to look like a marked vehicle they shouldn't be able to dress theres up to look like mine... it totally screws up the dynamics of the cat and mouse game!

Ha!

The photo is just for illustration purposes. The vehicle patrolling was a black SUV. Yukon I think.

But how will we catch all of those evil speeders that are threatening our women and children?

Ohhh. Damn, that's freaking scary then, my life will never be the same knowing that undercover cops are getting smarter. But it's the fact that they have so many of these shady black SUVs is why it's on my bucket list that I want to be like a police officer or a Fringe agent driving around a huge black SUV :D

Yup. I've seen one of those too. Tahoe with the stickers, ours don't have antennas visible on top. Have to see the lightbar through the tint, lights in the grille, or just go the speed limit every time you see an american car. I'm starting to lean toward the latter plan.

I've got to give them credit for creativity. I certainly would have been fooled if it hadn't had the low profile antennas.

That particular agent obviously misses their family.

He keeps it on there to remind him of who he's working so hard for.

Now we have these stupid things on the highway too. They just turn their hazards on when sitting on the side of the road.

Oh Damn it. I saw Komo News and just realized you are from my home state. I'll have to watch out for this when I drive down to visit my folks. I'll also have to forward my Dad this.

Thanks for the info!

If I get pulled over bby an unmarked patrol car I ask if I can get out and look at the car.

They need to have Municipal plates or a sticker on the car rear windshield is acceptable saying it is a state cop or a local cop or whatever.

If it has no sticker no municipal plate nothing then you can either inform the officer or take it to court where it will be dropped.

Do you know if the same holds true in Canada?

Look it up.

I found this out when fighting a ticket myself (95 in a 65)

I won.

All because he was in an improperly marked car.
