Enforcement is part of their job and there is a reason for it. The petty stuff can **** us off sometimes, but this is also part of there job.

Seriously. It's like putting eye liner on Rosie ODonnell and trying to convince people that she's Heidi Klum.

Here in NOVA, fairfax county has a couple trucks, some dodge minivans, some expeditions, explorers, some camaros, mustangs, chrysler 300s, chevy malibus, and a couple escalades and suburbans... ALL of which are UNMARKED. watiching someone get pulled over by a minivan is probably one of the funniest things ive ever seen though!

Seen it. They have a few unmarked F150's. They also have an accord. BPD had a mini van. And I heard a rumor of a SC charger on 24.... That scares me

This.

As mentioned a lot of areas use other kinds of unmarked cars but more often than not its a crown vic.

I'm always alert and keeping an eye out and not doing anything illegal anyway but its not hard to spot a crown vic and all of them are suspect to me.

Down in VA I've seen like blue-ish and red-ish chargers pulling people over, and the fact that they are crown vics should bea dead give-away doesn't make sense. There are so many people these days buying those busted old cruisers and making them their DD's...so everytime I see a crown vic or an impala, or a charger now I get all shifty eyed and slow down.
