Here in AZ they have undercover cars with standard plats, if you see any car with uber dark tent especially an chevy SUV mind your p's and q's if you are able to look inside they laptop and laser radar unit are a dead give away. that laser sure is hard to beat btw.
Doesn't matter much here anyways the majority of people don't pay attention people get popped all the time by the 4 year old speed cameras that have a warning sign. and I don't mean new implants people who have lived here a while.
Honestly the cops aren't ***** here in AZ most people who get pulled over deserve it here, doing 95 in a 65 ETC. The one time I was pulled over it was for 58 in a 40 and the cop wrote it up 45 in a 40 (veteran plates paying off I guess) Apparently here in Mesa they are no longer allowed to write a warning.

AZ is a lot of crown vics
But there was an undercover silverado I have seen pull a few people over, and it has as large as, or at least as large as 18 inch rims.
Tons of undercover crown vics too, in various neutral colors. See a crown vic, slow the **** down, and wait until you see the "G" on the plate, or the handicap sign.
The problem with AZ though, is that ******** drive decommissioned crown vics, and have all the radio crap and random mirrors still attached, so it's hard to tell sometimes.

my town also has 1 couple chargers. one of them looks like its a v6. female cop drives that car. i talked to a the guy that drives one and he assures me its a v8. i doubt he would pop the hood though.
in illinois i have seen state troopers with a few older mustangs. we have a couple cops in surrounding towns with yukons and suburbans but mostly just the regular crown vics. when i went to hawaii years back i remember seeing a mustang cobra r all done up with the lights and paint. it was at waikiki(spelling) beach.

Columbus area Ohio almost all are crown vic. all ohio staties are white crown vics. if i do some travelin i hook up the cb radio. it looks like **** on the car but it works much better than just a radar detector. the truckers all talk to each other and in ohio staties are called polar bears *NOTE: magnetic cb anteas dont stay on after 120! haha learned that one from experience

No. Ga ... WAY NORTH .. ANY AND ALL HILLS .. and there is allot.. from dalton, ga to the Tn line..
NORTH BOUND
The hill before exit 345
STATE:Likes to sit on Exit 345 and radar as you come under overpass also
They like to hide behind the bridge supports on the inside of the road
Co. they like to sit one of two ways ..
NON-holiday they are on the left hand side standing outside front door with radar..NOTE* PER a Officer i know ( Quote:YOUR RADAR DETECTOR IS WORTH ZERO IN GA..End Quote) He stated that the radar they have in GA is like a gun.. its only active when they pull the trigger .. so if your going to race or speed in ga do it goin UP hill
And Holidays they sit SIDEWAYS ???? on the right hand side... ( forgot to ask why that was)
The hottest spot for tickets in that stretch is the HILL AFTER MILE 350 they are ALWAYS There left side near bottom of the hill again with the gun type radar.. so detectors dont work
SOUTH BOUND
Ga State sometimes sits in a Crack between the GA gardrail and the Tn cement wall ( hard to see) At the Tenn Line
Very Next hill Exit 353 they sit on that hill ( ITs right before the Welcome center for GA)
State: sits up behind the gardrail on the right side ( REAL HARD TO SEE .. i got one of those tickets)
Co. sits on the flat part on the right hand side in a Knotch of the center divider (kinda hard to see)
ALL Ga police use the GUN radar and will stand in the crack of their door truned around shooting behind them or up hill ..
One last thing .. I havesnt seen them do this this year.. they were bad about it last year.. not sure why Some Ga. popo will sit at the top of an exit on the left hand side radaring you as you come under the overpass .. for some reason i alway look even though im speeding and would be caught by then.
I still Look
Hope that helps y'all

Well here in Florida mainly in the Gulf breeze there is a F-150 white in color no out side markings. The sun visors flip down to revel lights and the tool box in the back pop up and more lights with the word police across the back.
This one is most likely every where. When traveling on the interstate be on the look out for the bold white lines that span across the two lane. When you run over the first line appox. a 1/4 mile ahead there will be another one. This is a SPEED trap. There is a plane way high in the sky you will never see it. I now this one from experiance. So if you are hauling as* slam on the brakes before you get to the second line.
In Pensacola crossing over nine mile road on USHY29 the FHP they love to hide at the Dave howell tires.
Chargers are also here in threw out the tristate area.

VA- The chargers that are
on the highway have no badges (charger emblem, goathead,....). The windows are tinted black.
Ha, in the city I live in we have undercover minivans. There is even a local girl cop that trys to get you to race her charger and then bust you. Would realy suck if lost and got a ticket.

yea its rare to see an o.g. crown vic cop anymore in Charlotte, they are mostly for domestic crimes and murders and ****. the main cars they drive now are unmarked hidden light impala's. they also drive unmarked hidden light malibu's, tahoe's. i've seen a few minivan's but i think those are the fed's. also recently CMPD has aquired a bunch of cars from a street racing bust. including a turbo riced out tinted out 350z, and a 500rwhp t.e.r.m.y.

They have all kinds of cars in VA. It's getting harder and harder to spot. The UC cop cars have plain tags but usually 5% tint. Let me see if I can get a list together here...
Marked:
1. Crown Vics for VA Beach police and Chesapeake
2. Cheaspeake also have the new impalas
3. Charger's for State Troopers (they look badass)
4. Tahoe's and Suburbans for marked K-9s
5. The beach has a few beetles. yea thats right. VW Bug's
6. Expeditions for the SGT's usually
Unmarked (here's where it gets tricky):
1. State Troopers have uc chargers and impalas plain tags. I've seen a bunch of different colors. Black, Blue, Red, Silver, White and most all of them have 5% tint
2. 2-3 LS1 Camaros are in the area.
3. 1-2 LS1 Vettes
Point is be careful. That's all I can come up with now.

i think they should at least make them take off the police interceptor badge because thats like impersonating a police officer.

dude i totally feel you on that one. you'll be driving down the I-17 and see a black crown vic huge antenna's and all tinted and even says police interceptor, and you slowly creep up on them totally thinking its a cop only to notice there are like 15 small children in the back and the mother and father up front. ( nothing against mexicans, **** my girl of almost two years is one) but the hispanics are usually the ones driving the out of commision cop cars since they goto all the auctions.

I think the cops knew this, and don't give a **** because it makes people like us think twice about speeding :/

Don't speed on the section on highway 6 between 290 and college station. There is construction, there are always state troopers, and they will get you. They hide very well, so just dont speed through there.
The Sam Houston tollway in Houston never used to be patrolled, but now they are all over it. They are mostly in new impalas. They will sit on the on ramps with their door open with a radar gun and shoot uncoming traffic.
