Over the years I have seen the Ct State police use just about anything for
an unmarked car, the usual Crown Vics, an occasional Chevy Impala of one
vintage or another. In the 80's they used Mustang 5.0s and Mazda MX6s for
undercover work.

Imagine my surprise when on a work trip to Hartford today I see a car
pulled over just outside of Enfield, with another car behind it. I didn't
notice the first car because of the second car. Then I saw the blue
uniform writing a ticket...

In one of these...

Not many would get away from you, would they?
 
Around these parts about 10 years ago the local police used a white
Trans Am. Finally had to retire it because many women complained
about it not looking like a cop car.
 
Recall many years ago when I lived in the DC area the Maryland State
Police used a drug-confiscated 57 Ford Ranchero with a 425HP Ford 427
engine.

Up here in Ontario, the province's cops are using some Buicks, unmarked of
course. I've seen at least two, both painted non-metallic black.

Plus one city is using the standard Crown Vic, but with a taxi-light on the
roof! It doesn't say "TAXI" though, it just has a big phone-number. You
need to get up close before you see that, in /very/ small letters above the
phone-number, it says "POLICE". And the phone-number is that of the local
cops.

Bastards.

Now that's cool!

I recall at one stage we had all sorts of vehicles...with surfboards on
the roof.

My Bastards are sneakier than your Bastards
 
The Wake County NC Sheriff's Department has a Corvette they use. I have seen
it pull over a car. It was a drug seizure. I persoanlly think the Sheriff
should be voted out of office for keeping it. In theory it should have been
sold the Corvette and turned the money over to the local school system (NC
rule). Instead the Sheriff kept the Corvette and uses it as a play toy. I've
never like the idea that law enforcement can sieze things becasue of some
hypothetical connection to a crime, and this case is, at least in my mind,
especially disgusting.

I suppose it's like that little town called "Bell?" You've got there
where the chief honcho gets $788,000 per annum. (Twice the Presidents
$400,000). Apparently they can set their own pay in closed session and
no one knows what they are paid apart from their pension company. Was
on our programme called "Newsnight" national news last night.

The Mayor and COP resigned, but they are getting great pensions!

This is a case of the local residents not paying attention.

Now there's a taunt for the ages...


many locations are adopting encrypted radio for their police, they
have unmarked cars, secret pay raising sessions. next come secret
arrests, secret jails, secret trials, and secret executions. Some
folks are getting in trouble for videorecording cops doing their jobs
in public where there is no expectation of privacy.

dangerous times ahead.

Brings back memories... I was driving through downstate Illinois in the late
'60s and just happened to see a shadow under a billboard in time to slow
down. Car was a Corvette Sting Ray & guy inside was wearing a Smokey the
Bear hat and holding a radar gun.

So now OPP is responsible for killing Kenny?

Don't ya just love that? The schools cry out for money, they have to lay
off cops, and these morons pay themselves +$500,000 salaries (to be sure,
I don't know if Bell has had to lay anyone off, but Calif in general is in
real monetary trouble, and one city has lkaid off it's police force and is
'outsourcing' to the Sheriff's dept and the neighboring town's police dept...)

If these guys are Republicans, I'm becoming a Democrat...

Appropriate music:

Die Fahne hoch
Die Reihen dicht geshlossen
SA marchiert
Mit ruhig festen Schritt.

Or a new set of words

Heil Nobama
The Savior of the Nation,
Heil Nobama
god incarnation
We look to you for our salvation
We exist only to please the god - Nobama.

You could substitute Joe's favorite god, Beelzebub. Means the same thing.

Nice, I'd call that a bait car for racing.

I recall on 128 the MA state police used, of all things, a red ford
panel van. Funniest thing to see a mustang pulled over with a red van
behind it with a cop writing a ticket. The only give-away were the
blues in the grill. They also had a blacked out Ford Probe GT.

Also, in Billings/southern Montana they had late 90s Z28 camaros. The
speed limit at that time during the day was "reasonable and prudent"
Apparently they needed the Z28s to enforce prudent.

Are you from Mass?


Are you the John with the Corolla? For sale? ;p

Do you remember when they had an 18 wheeler? They used it on the Pike a
lot. It would be set up with the flashers and the the orange triangles,
and up by the cab a state trooper with a radar gun, and a chase cruiser
hidden from view.

At the Lee end of the pike (westfield barracks, I think) they had a 1993
Lincoln MK VIII...Ford GAVE them to them!

Is a 240MPH GT-R "prudent"? :)
