Today I passed a car that was pulled over by what looked like a gray sedan with blinkers and an officer writing a citation. This was off Morse Blvd. at Mallory Hill CC. This was the first time I've seen unmarked patrol. Has anyone else?

[pooh]

I've seen it a number of times....many times on Wednesday AM when I'm heading to bowling. Generally someone has been pulled over, presumably for exceeding the speed limit.

Yes, I have seen unmarked police cars that have pulled over cars for tickets quite a few times. Be careful of the speed limits that are posted. They mean business and a ticket costs a lot of money.

I've seen an unmarked Gray Charger with dark side and rear windows and a normal Fla License plate with the officer manually operating the traffic signals at Buenos Aires and 441. Also an unmarked Black Explorer and a Black Charger at an accident on 42.

Much harder to pick them out now that many don't drive Crown Vics. I read that the Austin Texas Police bought up a few years supply of Crown Vics while they were still being sold by Ford.

So, as you can see, there are a BUNCH of unmarked police cars out there. Oh, and I saw a pick up truck as an unmarked vehicle, too, so be aware.

I saw one disguised to looked like T&D concrete and another as a garbage truck
Be on the lookout

Today I was stopped at the red light on 466 in the westbound lanes in front of Walgreens. What caught my attention was to my left was a gray charger with dark windows, darker than what's allowed by law. Back in Maryland the state police use similar vehicles on I-95, so I was paying attention to him. When the light turned green I started off slow because why waste the gas, my car is silver and sporty looking, the Charger takes off about as fast as you can without burning rubber. He was 100' past me in 5 seconds and soon he was out of sight and I forgot about it until now. Makes me think he was trying to bate me or someone else into racing him.

I saw it on 466 today also. Solid black rims and tires. Good looking Charger.

Maybe, but maybe not....might have had a call. My brother in law was a state police officer and one evening he was "haulin' a**" so to speak. Someone took exception to this and got him to stop....not sure exactly how they accomplished this with their car, but Wayne stopped. The civilian began to "read him the riot act" and Wayne just listened for a bit and then drew the driver's attention to the cooler sitting in the patrol car. Wayne was delivering an organ to the hospital.

Guess I sort of give the police the benefit of the doubt more than others might since we had one in the family. Was always happy when he returned from work each day. It's a risky job, without a doubt.

Unfortunately, it takes a fast car to catch some of the scofflaws......and it will generally consume a lot of fuel as a necessity of being able to go fast.

Yep cause that large SUV is needed just in case a snow storm hits the villages, and that vet is just cause it makes them look good

[Villageshooter]

The way to catch the major scofflaws in TV is to get a souped up golf cart!
The section across the street from Lake Maonia rec center is like a drag strip...... I had a cart pass me with "GREEN HORNET" on the back,, he was out of sight before I knew it! I would love to see some radar on the cart paths,,, I know they cant,, but it gets very dangerous at times,
