Default B4C Use

I was watching CNN before noon today and they were doing a story on people getting pulled over or something like that. The footage showed a cop getting into a white Camaro with lights flashing. My mind started wondering: Was this old footage or are B4Cs still being used? Anyone know where?

I realize its been only eight years, but I've never seen one in person.

California had all white ones that had small preferated holes drilled in the front bumper covers just above the fog lights.

Colorado had solid silver with a blue angled stripe on the door.

Florida had black ones with tan roofs

Texas had I think white, maybe black

Illinois had unmarked stalker cars, 1 navy blue, 1 pewter and one unconfirmed black with RS ground effects.

A few other states had LT1s back in the day and may have also had LS1s

It was a white car and I noticed the drilled holes.

But are they currently in use anywhere?

Fairfax County has them in use even last year when I lived down there. I would usually see them on 66. Not sure if they still have them or not.

There are a few still in use here. They are black with white hood, roof, and hatch. It's really rare I see them, but man is it cool when I do!
