Another one would post like a electrical/telephone contractor on a high crane with view of everone under him and does the same thing with a radar gun and informing another cop ahead. Funny though the guy with the sign even wrote on a piece of cardboard that he is a cop and tells them to slow down but who would believe it anyway until it's too late.
i guess they are becoming more resourceful.. i just always thought it was an american-built only type thing. I know they'll occasionally used seized cars as unmarkeds

Call it whatever you want. Cyan color camry with lights inside pulling a red minivan. My friend was with me we even did a U turn to go back and see it. I could not believe my eyes. I dont have to prove any point to you as I dont care. Just keep the BS to yourself.

Cops are doing whatever they can to pull people over. My friend (owns a restaurant) was pulled over by a mad cop last night at 5 AM. He gave him illegal exhaust on a stock STI exhaust. My friend was so mad that he told the cop that he will never give them free food anymore (which always did for free) and the cop started arguing with my friend saying that he is doing his job. What job is he doing by pulling him over for a stock exhaust?

You know ... racing to a scene in an 'unmarked car with lights' to help somebody is one thing (I actually think it very nice when detectives use their lights to be the 'first' cop to help somebody) ... but pulling people over for traffic 'infractions' in an unmarked car is a totally different issue. Cops do more good in MARKED patrol cars offering the public an 'example' rather than sitting in the bushes, making up numbers, or half-a ideas to pull people over.
For that matter ... why can't 'I' pull over a cop for making 'Illegal lane changes, crossing double yellows, etc...?
Rant Over,
