havent posted for awhile but just to inform everyone, everyday since last week on Saratoga and 280 there is multipal chps including motorcycles and an undercover G35 smoked lights and windows with a notable red and blue light in both the front and rear windshields they seem to only be pulling poeple over for seatbelt violations and missing front lic. plate. just a fyi for those of you that travel that area.

 

My buddy has pics of an 08 STi , all stock with the Gold BBS package... with blue and red police lights behind the grill... and on the dash, ill have to try and get them out of his phone. Car looked STOCK but looked undercover up close

Edit: this was at the Target in Bridgepoint

 

so what will happen when i dont pull over for them, get off at a road that goes up to skyline and lose them?

arent you supposed to not stop for unmarked vehicles for your safety?

I sure as hell wouldnt stop for an unmraked crown vic, now that all these low life gangsters are driving them

my friends dad has a brand new heavy duty white Ford pickup, with a blue/red lightbar in his grill, when its lit up that is...i wouldnt be surprised if others had them.

 

what color are the G35 and STI guys?

 

Yep, if they want to send an unmarked non-standard issue vehicle after me. I'll lead them to the nearest CHP/PD/Sherrifs office & then stop.

Hell yeah!

i need some for the Fheads who turn my 15 minute commute into a 30 minute commute when they go 15mph around turns and dont pull over! FFFFFFFFFFF@($*(@&$@!@@!!

seriously though, ive been thinking of buying a small viser one, or some high power LED blinking things i could put in my windshield...and get strobing headlights all JDM style

Oh and plus a SFX kit from Kragen, they have sirens! and sheep and cats...MEOW! lol

 

around what time?

 

that sucks, 280 is like a trap now because there is so much room, not to mention 3 sniper vista ramps.

Maybe i'll use 101 for SF from now on...and play bumper cars.

 

I drive 280 pretty much everyday and have seen a number of unmarked cars including a grey camery with really dark tinted windows and lights in the grill and back windows. I have not really noticed them around the Saratoga exit as I usually only pass that area during traffic hour. But I do see all the Sheriffs and CHP that are at the De Anza entrance busting people there is usually one or two up on De Anza busting people for blocking the intersection or hopping over to the carpool lane entrance when they are not carpooling. On numerous ocasions I have seen 3-4 cars pulled over right there all at the same time. I see a lot of CHP on 280 right now due to the construction at the 85/280 interchange. Traffic fines double in construction zones.

 

if you get lit up by a unmarked car, dial 911 and let them know that someone behind you has red and blue lights, but that you do not feel safe pulling over for an unmarked car.

usually a black and white will come along and make the stop themselves.

 

this is true, but keep something in mind. If you call from a cellphone it automatically transfers to CHP instead of the local PD. i know you probably wont know which agency is pulling you over, but just know this information when you finally do stop and the officers talk with you.

 

Indeed - thats the exact thing you should be doing, and is the recommended procedure by the PDs and SD's themselves.

 

haha, i know what you mean kyle.

but if you do get caught illuminating these lights, its impersonating a police officer which is a misdemeanor.

dont you live up in the hills kyle? thats really gotta suck sittin behind miss daisy in twisties every day

 

Krinkov, the sti was grey, ill give my buddy a call see if he can get the pics out of his phone

 

I have a few friends in law enforcement and I asked them on a few occasions whether or not I should pull over for an unmarked and their response was "if it does not have distinguishing marks on the front doors, do not pull over unless you feel it is safe to do so. You can drive to the nearest PD, FD or Sheriff's office and await a marked car to make the tag."

I was pulled over by a Detective in an unmarked car once, I immediately called Los Altos PD, drove to my house before I pulled into the driveway and waited for an LAPD car before I got out of my car.

The Detective was livid that I didn't pull over sooner and I explained that I did not feel safe - marked officer told the Detective that is within my rights.

In fact - with the rise in police impersonation - you can argue not to pull over for ANY car until you have confirmation it is a legitimate police officer.
