Law Enforcement Hotrods
Unmarked Law Enforcement In Central Florida, there are law enforcement officers in Cobra's and GT's who are seeking out aggressive drivers. Just wondering about a few things if you know anyone who's been ticketed or arrested by one of these officers:
1. Do they come up and pick races with you, hoping you'll bite?
2. What other types of unmarked vehicles do they drive, other than Lightnings, Stangs, and Marauders?
3. A second time conviction for racing in Florida allows the state to sell off your car. Has anybody heard of this actually happening?

once got pulled over in a parking lot by a unmarked black ls1 z28 for taking a sharp turn. i have seen camaros, late 90s blazers, tahoes all unmarked around here. there is a zo6 and cts-v but it had writing on the doors.
No, I couldn't swear to it. I've had several folks tell me they have seen these unmarked Cobra's and GT's with law enforcement officers pulling people over ... had blue lights under the hood. These were honest people who have told me this. My daughter dated a guy from Winter Park. His stepfather was a Deputy Sheriff and he drove a Lightning ... frequently ticketing people.
As far as entrapment goes, well, that **** don't fly anymore. I remember in the 60's if a police car would be sitting behind a billboard (totallly hidden) with their lights off, shooting radar, it was entrapment. Nowadays? It's a speeding ticket and points on your license.

well if they antigonise you to race i would think its entrapment.. i mean they cant pull up next to you and rev their engine or check you while your drivin down the road..it would be like a undercover hooker cop propisitioning people ...entrapment
but i guess they can ride along in a nice car and just wait for you to make the propisition and then ur fucked!

If they are riding around in a cobra, I highly doubt that they would need to do anything to start a race. Most people will just try them if they are beside them. Then you have a ticket

I sold a car to a Captain in a Sheriffs office lately, and I talked to him about the new racing laws. In a nutshell he basically said y'all are freaking out and reading into it too much. For impoundent, you have the option to have someone come pick up the car. You will get tossed in jail for the night, but its not always the long sentence we've been throwing around. You gotta be extremely reckless and dangerous to get the top fines and jailtimes. Thats the nutshell version.
From what I understand, entrapment isn't a law. It is a defense to be used in court once you have been arrested. I guess it is up to a judge/jury to decide if it is entrapment. But don't quote me I'm not a lawyer that is just what a Sheriff's depuity once told me.

you guys dont really understand the law, its entrapment if they get you to do something you normally wouldnt do.
they CAN rev at you. they CAN accelerate.
they CAN'T ask you to race after you decline to race them. if you say no and they keep on then you have hit a case of entrapment.
cops in miami/broward have cobras, gt's, f-bodies, all kinds of sedans.
most recent one i ran into was a silver 2005 GT with a NOS plate frame, its deeply tinted(your first big hint). it has thin led lights, the passenger cop has a digital video camera.
watch yourself, dont run highway run ons. know your racers, know your spots.

In my life's experiences, from other people who have harrassed cops, I have seen that it's a no-win situation. Besides, I don't think there are many folks here who have a blatant disrespect for the law enforcement officers (IMHO) ... in general. These guys generally help keep our families safe and usually cut you some slack over minor infractions. Of course, there are a few bad cops, as well. My opinion is that most are nice guys/gals who believe in what they are doing.
I don't know where the limits of the definiton of entrapment lie, but, if you know you're sitting by a cop and intentionally f$%* with them, you'd better be prepared to pay the price ... for a very long time. Some of these guys have a very long memory.
As was said, know who you're racing and look for the super-dark tinted windows soas not to get ticketed or charged. Good luck and happy street racing ... where it's not in dangerous traffic.
