You have to watch out out for anything with tinted windows around here. Even mini vans. Stealth is the way the have to catch people then there's not much to catch anymore. My .02

Saw him handing out a ticket on 95 south just north of Baltimore a week ago.
Have also seen plenty of them in unmarked Explorers in MD.
MD seems to very interested in handing out tickets these days!

You know really it does not matter what they are driving because truth is even if they were in a 74 Pinto or an 04 Ferrari, getting pulled over is the same, plus you may be able to outrun the car but never the radio.

It's the road stop lottery ! Law Enforcement states that they catch more criminals , i.e. drugs , warrants etc. , during traffic stops , so that's why the Federal Gov't spent $$$$$$ of our tax dollars to make LEVs less visible and easier to sneak up on you . Just another way (basically) law abiding cittzens have to pay the price so low life losers don't have their rights violated . Thanx to all the law makers out there !

And in Va
Camaro's and Intrepids are used in Virginia.
And then they wonder why women get stopped by guys impersonating cops by putting a couple of lights inside their car and pretending to be driving an umarked.
IMHO all traffic stops should be done by marked cruisers

You can't see them until you are in the tunnel but they tag you nearly a half mile back. Ouch. I watched 6 people, probably picking up loved ones, get tagged within 5 minutes as I was waiting for my wife to show up.

They are always waiting for you on 295 North also just after Arundel Mills exit. And boy do they catch a bunch of people. Since I always use my HUD I really find it hard to not know what speed I be "Flying" at so if I get caught I will laugh/
all the way to court or just pay the fine.

Here in South Carolina, they drive Camaro's and BMW's 
on I-85. BMW's Greer plant gave them some a few years back. I guess BMW was Suck'in Up for all the Tax benifits SC gave them when they opened their plant.

They've gotten pretty tricky in the DC MD VA area. I've seen everything from an old Grand Am, fully marked with PG county all over it, to a plain dark green Dodge Ram with tinted windows, Silver Expeditions, Black Expeditions, Green Mustangs, Purple Camaros, and Manassas has a Blue and White C3 Corvette with the lights on top! Y'all know I had to **** with him...

It's just wrong for them to use those strange cars for speed enforcement. You don't have a chance! Also, it proves they only care about revenue generation. A marked squad car slows down a lot more cars than a cargo van.
