Too many rapes and assaults have been committed by people pretending to be cops in undercover cars to treat it lightly.

Now, do I have a problem with undercover traffic stops? Yes, because it set the stage in the first place.

Most departments have been coming up with guidelines on undercover stops - where they won't have a fit if a motorist goes on to a lit, populated place before stopping.

This is an LED in a enclosure that looks no bigger than the washer nozzle. Would that fool you into thinking it's a police car?

Better off if they used marked cars for the purposes of traffic enforcement. Fewer tickets, but fewer incidents like this.

Have you ever seen these lights? No one mentally competant to operate a motor vehicle on a public road would mistake these for police vehicle lights.
