Default Police Spotting Tips

I thought it would be a good idea if we make a sticky that has tips on how and where the blk and whites hang out.I'm not going to encourage people to street race,but it would be cool if we can all hint each other, since we all fool around from time to time.


Here in Southern California...
-Most blk and whites drive crown vics. specially chp's
-we all know how the headlights look.they always drive with highbeams.
- most city cops here in NC-s.d are going with expeditions, and explorers theres a new charger in oceanside
- the color scheme is blk and white for all city cops.
-there's alot of chp's that drive white crown vic without the upper siren lights.(i got pulled over by one doing 120+mph)
-there's alocal hwy were alot guys race, I got siren-ed by a cop in a caravan that was green. i did a pass with a stang and they pulled next to us. he didn't pull us over because there was 20 other imports racing too.

As far *** where they Post up.

-I would be careful round the 5 north in between delmar and oceanside blvd. around 4-6pm. there always chp's on bikes. i see them everyday on my way home from work.

-careful on the 5N to 78 ramp. as soon as you get on the 78. there a chp that hides behind a tree before Jefferson.

I normally see the cops drive with the day time running lamps, Ive been pulled over by a burgandy crown vic with 2 female cops, and there are uncovers in the ford fusions, and all black tahoes.

I think it was. Haven't had it a week and it's saved me twice already. Still gotta use common sense of course.

Just change the last two letters of the url to your state:
