ItsmeX5 · 09-12-2011, 12:44 PM

there are a lot of them on the streets because people buy them in auctions for cheap...all they have to do is remove the police symbols and numbers and its fine....they are all over LA scares me everytime i see one

reaper335 · 09-12-2011, 12:47 PM

i try to see if the plate has any city or government markings like municipal that's usually a give away but not always

I don't hate them as much as I hate cops that drive other cars that really don't look like cop cars. I.E. Today I saw a grey dodge charger with nice 18" alloys with lights behind the grill and one light on the back window that pulled someone over.. Or a f150 that looks like a construction truck with hidden lights as well!

i've seen these guys around numerous time around my area, and most of the time the driver(s) doesn't look like they are in any positions to own anything better i don't want to stereotype or anything but yea... maybe they really don't have enough $ to get anything better you know what i mean... idk that's just my 2 cents

"It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, it was a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas..."

around here many of the new cruisers are chargers so I know better. I was pissed the other day b/c the clown had like 5% tints on it. my tax dollars at work so he can watch porn on his laptop on the side of the road without anyone knowing.

rbtamms · 09-12-2011, 01:27 PM

Whenever I see that kind of car...I check first the plate number if it's an exempt. I he will try to pull me over, I will not stop...who knows they might do something to you.

Coolieman1220 · 09-12-2011, 01:45 PM

over here, cabs love to drive crown vics....so yeah, its fun to try to spot em.

now chevy brings it's caprice for police sales only....

what about carbon motors....police only, 335d motor!

nomis_nehc · 09-12-2011, 02:08 PM

As much as I hate them, I think it would be funny to own one. You know, to strike fear in other people, lol.

Tee212 · 09-12-2011, 02:31 PM

They are very distracting when im going beyond the speed limit, like if the limit was 65mph and i go like 69mph. Its like hey! let me break the law in peace dam it.

SeanS54 · 09-12-2011, 02:33 PM

it usually freaks me out and once I see their license plate and the fact that they paid registration (not CA exempt) then I know they're a fake and I blow by them..

BMCoupe_782 · 09-12-2011, 02:54 PM

I hate these stupid crown vic police look-a-likes as well. I always get faked out. Not so much when I see them in my rearview, but those ass clowns who leave their unmarked police looking cars outside on their lawns or behind bushes - on purpose - in an attempt to get people to slow down. You'll see a ton of people slam on their brakes as they drive by!

fdriller9 · 09-12-2011, 03:01 PM

Coming from Jersey and being used to seeing crown vics, both marked and unmarked, I get really confused being in Philly now.

They use the Chevy Impalas as police cars. So when I am in Philly and see a crown vic, I think it's a cop and it's really not.

When I go back to Jersey and I see a Chevy Impala, I think it's a cop and it's not.....
