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

even up here in the northbay the CHP has been way harsher, in the last week i have seen 4 ricers pulled over with their hood popped, that is unheard of up here.

plus local pd can kiss my white ***

Most of them have been or are about to be retired and I don't think they're gonna get new ones to replace them.

I think they should replace all these unmarketed cars with carbon motors cars or another car designed specifically for the police department. They're safer for the officer and police presence helps keep crime down. So driving around unmarked cars is in my opinion not as safe for the officer and doesn't do as much to prevent crime. Yes it will lead to more tickets and they do serve a purpose... gang taskforces and things of that nature. But for general purpose I think they should have car more like this...

Camaros for big rigs makes total sense...

Lets have older cops be on the street doing foot chases

and have all the young athletic cops inside doing paperwork

They carry the gear for the brake check points for trucks. That is their main purpose I believe. The guys that do the checks use them.

I could be wrong, but I thought it was the last 300 Camaro's produced ( before they went out of production and came back with the new style ) were all specifically sold to law enforcement?


Yeah, that black car would definitely look intimidating rolling around town. Now it just needs the "To Punish & Enslave" logo across the side


I am pretty certain that San Ramon Police Department has at least 1 Charger as well ( actually I wouldn't be surprised if there are more Chargers around the area, I just don't see them that often ).

i didnt know CHP had chargers! no more looking out for those Crown Vic lights with blinkers on the inside...

Maybe it will be nice in 5 years when they all have chargers and the taxis still have crown vics...stupid taxis always thinkin theyre cops in the rearview.
