bad *** ghost car! They look really good in white IMO
HPD should paint the wheels black like the other cruisers and maybe leave the little center cap polished just to follow the dress code.

Why do cops need a Camaro SS? Get them all a Prius, save on gas money (tax money) with all the driving around they do.
And don't give me that high speed car chase argument, there's no running from a police helicopter.

so what do you suppose when a cop goes to pull someone over and they run before the cop can get their DL and say he's in a prius. now that guy just got away because all they have to go off is the car and maybe a license plate but that doesnt prove much. so to say dont give you that high speed car cahse stuff cause your talking out of your ***. yeah it may only happen 1 in a cops career if even that but if he is able to get a murderer or rapist of the street then so be it. and what should the small town cops do if they dont have a helicoper? and do you really expect a prius to catch up to a car going 80 on 288 relitivly quick??? i mean be real, please. i understand your point but it's just not realistic.

If the car is not CLEARLY marked as being police then they should not be making traffic stops. But lets worry more about generating revenue than citizen safety.
I bet the cops wouldn't like ghost liscense plates and ghost inspection stickers.

Exactly. I have no problem with cops policing and doing their jobs...but GTFOH with the ghosts decals. I will pull over for one, but as far as I'm concerned they can call a REAL squad car over for me to get out of my car. Quit being sneaky, only making themselves more disliked by the public for their tactics... My .02

you could try but there is a difference from pulling over in a safe well lit and populated place to make sure they wont be able to do anything to you, to "running" from him. like i said you could try just dont get caught and if you do be prepared to face the consequences. not to mention the officers in those cars are in official uniform.

With the red & blue lights, hidden LED lights I assume on the front, in the rear you can see the clear LED light bar across the top of the back glass, you'd be screwed..royally. And then when they do catch you, you'll probably get bounced off of said police car and onto the ground with a few punches mixed in.

You mean the blue and red lights that anyone can buy off ebay? There is a reason the cars need to be marked.

Here are some guide lines they mentionedin the article.
Police also offered following safety tips:
If you suspect that an individual is not a police officer, maintain current speeds, obey all traffic laws and proceed to the nearest police station.
If you feel the need to pull over quickly, drive to well-lit area or densely populated location before stopping.
Look for markings on the vehicle.
Use your cell phone to contact police if you suspect the person attempting to stop you is not a legitimate police officer. Ask the dispatcher to send a supervisor to your location in marked police car.
Ask for credentials.
There are unmarked police vehicles used in undercover operations by detectives, but if you ever feel suspicious about a car or a person pulling you over, call 911.

well tose are cool, here in oklahoma we have a bunch, and with the chargers you never see a crown vic unless your in a small town. I live in a small town and alot of guys get there personal cars as cop cars. I saw a guy pulled over by a lifted f-150 with hids and exhaust... bet you wouldnt see that coming. But my question is lets say they do pull someone over where the hell are they gunna put the guy if he gets arrested? wait for back up? seems like a little bet of a waste. IMO and in oklahoma you would be surprised how easy it is to out run a cop. I have done it on the highway and city you just have to know the streets and have a head start lol
