My town that I call home is called Tampico by everyone else. It is in the state of Tamaulipas where things have gone from sketchy, to insecure, to lethal, and sometimes plain hell. Due to the casualties, local police have been substituted by the Army. Military, the Federales, and State Police are now what protects us but there is still some local police that only concentrates in traffic enforcement.

Now, in America your cops mostly drive Crown Vics, Impalas, Tahoe's, or the angry bastard Charger. They are made to look menacing with their Push bars, black paint, and the usual police car characteristics. The traffic enforcing police here called "Transitos" use something a little different.

You can pretty much outrun these 1.6 106 HP Tsurus if the situation demands it.

Intimidation is half the game.

How is a Tsuru going to make you brake into the speed limit from fear alone. You just see them on the side of the road and think, nah, its just not worth it.

With only 106 HP I'd fly by at full speed all the time. Now with the police package cars here, they usually get upgraded engines that can haul some major ass. I see regular Tauruses, Chargers, and Tahoes get on the highway and I instantly slow down until I know it isn't a cop.

Tsurus! I'm obsessed with them lol. The state police in Yucatán were driving avengers, while the federales were cruising in trucks like the one from due date.

Not all cops get cool cruisers.

Hahaha I Know, and I just crack up when there is a red light and a Tsuru cop is there, becomes desperate and turns on the sirens to pass the traffic and the light, then turns them off right away. It is EXACTLY like in the McLovin film I don't remember the name.

I'm pretty sure there's a couple cops guilty of doing that around here too.

I mean, the other Least menacing thing is going around in these.

That is a really cool cop car actually.

Vicente Esteve > Svend 04/26/2014 at 22:16

Yeah, the brits have all sorts of different cars. Hahaha I laugh every time with the name Expert, or Partner, or Manager. Why would Peugeot choose such crap!

Vicente Esteve > Your boy, BJR 04/26/2014 at 22:22

Yeah, most police around the country use Avengers. Haha the Federales are just something else man, I respect their rides.

I was only going to choose a cool vehicle but man, its impossible.

Pretty much like the rest ie, Vauxhall Movano and Vivaro. Mercedes Vito, Vaneo, Citan, etc... I suppose coming up with a new name that isn't trademarked elsewhere can be quite a headache, so when they do, they sound a little odd or even crazy (probably why they may companies hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars to come up with them).

These are a couple of the unmarked police cars we have.

Top one is a Skoda Octavia VRS (2.0TSi VRS 197bhp) (not the actual car but almost identical to it. The lower one is a Skoda Superb Combi 3.6 V6 (3.6 FSi VR6 256bhp) (these are the actual cars which I have blanked out the licence plates).

Well, If it has a clearly blanked out plate, and everyone knows that a blanked out place is an undercover cop, whats the point of it being called "Undercover".

Hi. I blanked the plate out myself. I know these cars and its sisters quite well. These two cars get used for diplomatic purposes as well up and down the country.

OH! Sorry for the confusion. I also now know what trucks are undercover in my town.
