Well I live in American Canyon,ca which is basically in between Napa, and Vallejo and last week when i was going to work i saw three motorcycle cops sitting by a stoplight, I noticed all the cops but one have the regular bikes with all the police logos and paint scheme. But the other was just all black i mean like all all black no logo's no nothing and yup he was a cop had the uniform and everything watching traffic with the rest of them. its like i know about undecorated police cars but motorcycles....come on

Sorry no pic

I also noticed on my way to school a 07 Ford explorer had pulled someone over, but it looked exactly light this (same color same everything except the chrome rims, the only thing is that it had the red and the blue lights going and a cop was talking to the driver.


I also seen on my way to my friends house and a lotus was pulled over by THIS!!!! THISSSS!!! (the only thing different it was sittling on steelies)


but yeah had the lights going and everything i was scared to do my speed limit. Has anyone else been seeing this or is it only up here?

well theres a couple things.one it could be a off duty cop pulling someone over.2,you donthave to pull over for un marked vehicles.you can call and request a regular marked car.3,the all blk bike was prob just not done getting paint.i know chp is trying out a different model bmw bike

oh ok cuz yeah im basicly watching anything and everythign that moves through traffic now and looking hoping it isnt a cop. but ok that explains the bike. At first i though it was a horrible attpent to blend like thier unmarked cars lol

I've seen Mustangs, Cameros, Camrys, different kinds of SUV in the downtown SJ area as unmarked police vehicles. What's tricky now for motorist are the new ST1300 being used by different police departments, people don't see those coming.

yeah, last I heard the CHP was gonna try out chargers, but that seems unlikely with the economy the way it is.

I wouldn't pull over for unmarked cops, the failure mode of that plan could be bad.

Actually, I've seen the local police around fremont using an unmarked charger. Only way I could tell was it had the "front car bumper" and a spotlight by the mirror.

I see them in and around san carlos and palo alto too, but if CHP started using them freeway speeding would become a hairy deal

haha, now that makes sense!

yup American canyon has 2 unmarked chargers and the rest of the fleet of cars are painted chargers but the unmarked ones are tricky. Why couldn't they keep to the crown vick so i can rule those out as cops or old ppl!!!

They like the chargers because they come from the factory retro'd for police duty. AR15 looks awfully cozy in between the front seats.

Also, cylinder shutoff makes the R/T get better mileage than a crown vic

Thank your lucky stars the CHP can't afford them, they make the vics look like turds
