Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
Yes, that was mine. We got a cliff rescue call. After it was all done, I figured I'd take the picture as there wasn't much of a chance that I'd get another one There are some wild ideas from the past out there, regarding the center grill light.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
I know the state of Virginia had a few Camaros and vettes in the 2010’s that were both marked and unmarked they ran and may still run up and down I95. It wouldn’t surprise me if that C6 is legit.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
The car is a little wrinkled. Damaged in the line of duty though. Neither person is me... The kid in the F150 was doing donuts in an intersection with a crowd. He saw the cop and started to drive off and hit a few people. The cop wasn't havin it.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
Man! I wish some agency would make the strobe light manufacturers turn down the intensity a few notches. They are way hard to not see but they really are blinding at night or in rain or both. I can understand why some people are distracted (or temporarily blinded) by them when they get closer to them.
There is a tow truck operator, in Oregon I think, who will not run strobes for that very reason. They are dangerous for emergency personel as well.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
We used to complain about the overhead LED red and blues. It's a safety issue. Before the use of LED, if you pulled up behind another officer doing a traffic stop, you were able to see him or her from your car and as you were walking up. With the bright LEDs, it's impossible to see what you are walking up on and the officer doing the stop can't see if there was anyone walking up behind him or her.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
Love all the Maryland cars, reminds me of home.
Those modern caprices are no joke too. That’s an LS powered Pontiac G8/5th Gen Camaro SS wolf in sheep’s clothing. All three are based loosely of the same Holden platform. I work with a few retired LEO’s who drove them and said they are almost too much car for the job with certain officers behind the wheel, but they are a blast to drive hard when you need too.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
My neighbor has a black Crown Vic that I'm trying to snag. Like I need another car. But I like the Interceptors as long as I'm not in the back seat.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
I have a Kia Forte that I joke about putting a "Police Interceptor" script on. The speedo goes to 160. I can't imagine going even half that fast in the little puddle jumper. Somebody would probably break it off, anyway.
