- I have seen a few nontraditional unmarked cop cars myself recently. One
- guy was pulled over on the side of the road by an unmarked car -- the
- only way I could tell was because it had the lights in the grill. No
- tell-tale antennaes and -- get this -- the copy was dressed like someone
- going to work (white shirt, tie, etc.). He didn't even hae a uniform
- on.
-
- I have also seen Ford Tauruses and a Nissan (or Mazda, not quite sure)
- as unmarked cop cars. I guess they don't need those oh-so-obvious-
- antennaes-that-make-it-so-easy to spot an unmarked car anymore (sigh!).
