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.

You guys want my tip?
GET A TRUNKABLE POLICE SCANNER LIKE A UNIDEN BEARCAT BCT15. MAKE SURE IT IS TRUNKABLE.
Mine goes off whenever I come within a mile or two of ANY cop car. Very seldom does it not warn me. As long as their radio is ON it will go off.
My antenna goes through my old radio hole in my B4C LOL

Wahington State uses a bewildering variety of vehicles. Crown Vics, Imapalas both old and new, Chargers, a Magnum, Tahoes with tint, wheels that are slammed. I've seen a Volvo S-90, LS-1 Z-28, C-5 Vette and an ugly blue with peeling paint Astro van. They also use aircraft all along I-5. Their tactics change often but the Tahoes specialise in low speed trolling with back facing radar. The Motorcops, sit on the shoulder, either side with Lasar/Lidar. The basic Troopers like entrance ramps, crossovers and overpasses. Some hide in little spaces behind the trees and shoot ya going by. Just because ya saw them in a spot yesterday, don't mean they haven't completely changed strategies today.

theres a srt-10 d.a.r.e. viper car but never seen it pulling ppl over. a new sheriff charger car in my town in KY, but if i go across the bridge to Evansville in IN there has been up to 11 different mustang cars that have exhaust running up on everything trying to get you to race, and then they pull you over if you try to racem. i would make some excuse like wtf are you driving reckless for. think what a cop would do if you were runnin the speed limit in about 2nd gear and satrted stompin the throttle you would get pulled over for sure.

typical white and blue for sheriffs adn black and white for state troopers, but in beumont they have all kinds of different colored trucks and suv's, one cop has a damn silver SRT-10 viper truck, i almost **** when i saw this thing on the side of the road with someone pulled over, and there new trick around here on the interstae is they'll leave the trunk open so it looks like a dissabled car and so you can't see the markings on the back or the light bar and as soon as you go by they floor it slam the trunk down from the take off and pull you over. crafty *******

yea i used to race there all the time that prolly why they started monitoring it, theres ls a stretch on the tollroad where it goes up 10-15 feet then back down they like to hide in the dips of the road i know this cause i was doin like 140 and when i saw the light bar i slammed my brakes and he clocked me at 100, he didn't even have to get in his car i just stoped and pulled in front of his car the weird thing is he was on the left side of the road against the median not the right.

Here in Ontario, Canada, if you're caught going 50km over the speed limit (100 km) you lose your car for a week and $1,000 fine...ON THE SPOT. 50km over is considered "racing". ![Cry](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cry.gif)
Remember to take it easy...
This new law has nabbed a lot of regular drivers but VERY FEW modified cars.

Connecticut
1. State UC Tinted Off-White Camaro LS1 (was pulled over by this car in 06')
2. State UC Tinted Marroon Camaro LT1
3. State UC Tinted Light Blue Charger. Usually Crusises on Route 8
4. State UC Tinted Maroon Dodge Stratus usually running on 84 between Waterbury and Southington.
5. State Troopers Chevy Tahoe Black all tinted.
6. State Troopers Ford Explorer grey and black all tinted.
Marked state troopers have all the same grey, green or light brown crown vics, there pretty easy to spot especially when there riding your ***. I have heard of a riced out tinted Civic in waterbury area stopping people but never witnessed this one.
The white camaro i was pulled over with was pretty sweet.
