“There are no unmarked cars either.”

Ooohh yes there are. They can’t use them for traffic law enforcement, but they can use them for other things.

That’s not the case where I live. The cops use unmarked cars AND pick-up trucks to stop speeders. I’ve seen it numerous times. That violates the rules of engagement IMHO. If cops are going to issue speeding tickets, use a marke car.

One more thing. I don’t know what it’s like in your neck of the woods but where I live, I have seen speeding stops where two and sometimes three cop cars are used. To me, that’s a misuse or resources, not to mention overkill.

Here in PA, they use unmarked as radar or VASCAR platforms. They radio a marked car down the road to pull over speeders.
The Unmarked pulls in behind the marked car as back-up.
I dont think they can pull people over with unmarked cars, but I could be wrong. there was a few wannabe cops who bought their lights and uniforms from a catalog and started to pull women over. Big problem....
