I've seen quite a few MonteCarlos around with cop lights...

Also, I've seen the same, new, black Impala SS with cop lights inside, like twice now...

Yeah, I've only seen Troy with the Camaro cop car. I've seen him in action a couple times on 75 around Big Beaver.

I remember Indiana State Troopers had a green Z28 back in the mid-90's before it was cool to have quick undercover cars. It always had people pulled over on US-31. But goading a guy into racing and then pulling him over, isn't that illegal?

I'll take it even further: Big Beaver is even exit #69

You can even buy some gear with that sign on it under 'Products Lane'

Gotta love what some people market. Oh, and so this isn't a complete thread jacking, the city (Troy, Michigan) that this lovely exit is on, is right next to the town of the undercover yellow Cobalt SS. That should save from a stern scolding from the mods

I'd be pissed if it's a real Cobra R, what a waste.

I don't think they can break the law (improper start) in order to get you to break the law (drag racing). Let him launch first and call your lawyer.

I know that Oregon and Wash state troopers were using bad ass Mustangs and Cameros in the Mid 90's. I got to see one very up close. Let me tell you, that Mustang in Wash was taking nobody to jail. It was stripped to 2 front seats a roll bar, a radio and a shotgun. Not sure if the Cameros were in the same condition but they looked really nice.

Around here they have lots of different cars and trucks they are using for cop cars. Nothing is safe anymore.

As for the big beaver rd sign, see my avatar for a pic of the actual sign.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


Florida has what is called the "Stealth Program". Using vehicles that are all fast and furious like. (either purchased or impounded) They can pull up next to you and rev their engine and wait for you to race them. And when you do you see the pretty blue and red lights hidden in the grill and dash. Then you get ticketed for street racing, have your car impounded, have to pay $900 in tickets plus another $500 to get your car back. Then you get to take a cource to get your drivers licence back. It is legal and is no different than a prostitution sting.

I would not be surprised if other agencies are instututing similar programs. It is also not uncommon for agencies to use civilian informants to call in where the races are and who is racing. Isn't technology wonderful?
