I don't see a problem with it. When police drive marked cars, people just learn how to recognize them from a distance and then slow down until they have passed. People should be driving within the law all the time, not just when a marked cop car is nearby.

And anyone who races on a public road is a dumbáss. I think this is a good way to target street racers, because there are some people who would probably try to challenge that 350Z or the Mustang just because of the way they look. Those are the kind of people who need to be off the road. I can just imagine some ricer kid revving his engine at the modified 350Z and then getting busted. Nice.

those rice kids......... u dont have to have a ricer car..... i had an idiot rev at me with a kia rio.... my tank of gas costs more than half of that thing.... (and i only use 89).. but thats sneaky with the 350z, i was expecting them only using american cars. but i've heard they use porsches and s2000 to try to get people to race them and they pull them over right there and then up in Cananda

If you actually listened to the broadcast, they were confiscated cars.

Yep, they could add about 10 of these cars to their fleet for the cost of one new Crown Vic. They just have to remove the illegal parts and do a small retrofit.

Why not where I am at we have Dodge Chargers being used as undercover police units, so why not use a 350 or a stang. Especially if they are already race ready makes it easier for the PD to grabs people.

IMO if your stupid enough to race on a public street you shouldnt get ____ed when you need to suffer the consequences.

Hmmmm.

IDK, if I was the original owner, I'd be ____ed off that the car is being used to catch other cars.

I used to know a cop who was big into modding cars. I always thought it was funny because he was also pretty bad about street racing.

That just let me know that all cops arent as law abiding as they expect everybody else to be. I have nothing but respect for law enforcement but Ive seen way too many incidents happen where cops should have stopped the person because he was indangering other people, but they just looked the other way. I watched a cop drive right by the scene of an accident that didnt have a cop yet.

I wouldn't pull over!

They claim you'll know it's a real cop because "it has lights in the grill!" So what. I'd still think it was a stupid ricer with strobes and a fake siren trying to scare me.

I'd keep driving until back-up arrives.

It would be so easy for any random person to get blue and red lights and put them in their grille. It's been done before. That's how guys get robbed and women get raped. I don't think I would pull over for these cars either.

I don't think this is that bad. I mean its kinda sneaky, but what ever. I don't think it'll work for the real racers, seeing how they only have 2 cars, for now atleast, words bound to get around which car to avoid. That Nissan is little too sneaky tho.
