new undercover cop or chp car?

Today driving on South of 101, I saw a blacked out honda behind me with blue and red lights in the grill, headlights, in the rear a light bar and tail lights flying past me with the lights on. Was wondering if this is a new under cover car or just some dude playing with traffic

Perhaps it was some other sort of LEO other than a traffic cop. Detective or something? I remember a while back seeing a show about these detctives that had an awesome Ford Turino.

They aren't unmarked, but CHP is using the all black Chargers with no light bar on I5. I know, because I got pulled over by one

When a BMW flipped in front of me on 17 I saw two CHP hemi chargers smashing down at like 100mph and then back up to reach where he crashed. They were female LEO's. Boss.

Like others said, it was probably a detective or something like that.

I know I wouldn't pull over for some unmarked honda flashing its lights at me.

I have never seen an undercover or LEO in the South Bay drive an import, ever. That's strange. I know SJPD definitely has never had imports.

There was a new unmarked black Dodge Avenger that cut me off on HWY 1 and he flipped on his rear lights to get me off his behind.

its probably DEA, they are notorious for having "stock" cars with hidden lights. I use to live next door to one and she had access to all kinds of cars just like that as well as some other fun toys.

In San Jose I have seen a few different un marked import police vehicles (camry, and a nissan). they were used by detective and like drug/gang/graffiti task force.
