Another CPS ghost car

[jdmakkord]

Dont have pics, but I saw 2 bikes pulled over at the crowfoot Y by a newer ford taurus, maroon with dash lights. They were getting ticketed. The car is totally unmarked, doesn't even have tint. Keep an eye out.

[dieselpower91]

They also have a few black Intrepid's also unmarked and no tint!

Thanks for the heads up on the Taurus!

I saw a green impala the other day, no tint, and lights on the inside.

[403Gemini]

they have over 200 ghost cars and they're all not just tarus's impalas and intrepids ;) they even have golf's, cavaliers, etc.

so just watch out for everything!

[Def_3]

I was pulled over by a 2003 Jeep Grande Cherokee, fully loaded, LEATHER and everything, only lights he had was flashing signals, also radar in a 1987 Toyota pickup in Shawnessy!!!

[joseph]

for the record, they have A LOT of dodge caravans... i mean A LOT lol

[rc2002]

I thought they only had domestics! They have nissans and VW's?

[euro tang]

The best way I think to recognize a police car is to look for the black licence plate sticker, government issued and commercial vehicles have those sickers too so don't always think they are cops, but al lot of times they are.

[good_lookin866]

thats nothing i cut off an unmarked van and he followed me while i flew through a school zone going about 60 and then he finally pulled me over in front of my buddies house but LUCKLY i didnt get no tickets cuz he had no ticket papers left or someshit he had nothing except those lights that you can put up on your roof

i work and live by 2 different police stations and have seen a total of 5-6 unmarked police cars, with the black sticker of course, but also the budget (rent a car) sticker on the back, so watch out folks!!!

[Seanith]

Once i saw a black tinted ford suv that was unmarked by transcanada safeway. they pulled someone over and the cops had a flames flag in the back windows! :rofl:

i see that one quite oftem, luckily on the other side of the road :D... usually parked on the side of a major road and snapping pictures. I even saw it at the safeway downtown last summer taking pictures of people speeding in the parkinglot...it was ridiculous:nut:

Anyways back on topic...driving on Crowchild today and beside me noticed a black Impala aka car with skyline lights. Had the black sticker, and when someone ran the red light he flicked on the lights...I totally did not expect that!:eek:

[dogmaiwli]

A few years ago we drove out to my cabin one weekend, highway 2, saw an unmarked white corvette, about 20 minutes later, unmarked crown vic (typical), and liek 30 minutes after that saw an unmarked mustang, so they are all over the place, that was RCMP but still, i think maybe i shoudl go camp outside some police stations and take pictures of the police cars :P

[rogue]

i saw a black jetta once on mcknight looked "Tuned" crazy shit. Also i saw a chick cop in a old festiva with flashing lights by the tim hortons on mcknight once DAMN THEY ARE MAKING BREAKING THE LAW A PAIN:D

Name One car faster than a radio, and the Hawc1


The new dodge Magnum's are supposed to be cop cars too. So whatchout!!... Oh, i've seen a cop in a silver Mazda3 hatch. He came right up my ass, tailgating me, i almost felt like stepping on it, then my phone rang, as i was talking on the phone, the mazda pulls up beside me, and it's a fucking cop driving! (shoulder patch) :eek:

[Rav4Guy]

Just because you see cops with shoulder patches doesn't mean they're on duty. Those could be personal cars for all you know.

She drove by me last year on deerfoot, I noticed her uniform and saw that she was doing about 120 in that POS so I caught up to get another look and drove beside her for fun. They're not allowed to wear uniforms while off duty, correct?

[AllGoNoShow]

correct I believe, but if they are allowed, then Ive seen oen by the hamptons in a truck, was speding to

I'm tired of people saying this, HAWC1 would have to already be in the air for them to call it for pursuit, and it's not in the air for most of the week. Secondly, if you get out of the cops line of sight he can't radio your position to other cars. HAWC1 is completely useless in most situations if it's not already in the air, the thing takes like 5 minutes to take off from what I've seen, not to mention the time it would take to get to the farther quadrants of the city, and most chases don't last very long.

I've heard quite a few stories of people getting away from the cops.

I'm not condoning running from the cops, I'd never do it, but it's easier than a lot of people think.

[AllGoNoShow]

yah i dont mean to make people do it but my buddies dad parks in the same hanger has hawc1 and it takes 7 minutes to take off and yah, time to fly, then time to find the car, etc etc etc

I thought the rear windows in cop cars dont roll down.

:dunno:

[Paul]

wasn't unmarked but a very sneaky cop had his trunk proped up with a beach ball sticking out. With the trunk up you couldn't see the light bar on the top of the car and with the freakin beach ball i certainly didn't expect it to be a cop car. Luckly it was in a playground zone and i always slow down for those. He was standing at the front of the car shooting lazer over top of it.

Sneaky-sneaky

[AllGoNoShow]

I had one coming up Sarcee, ghost car with his trunk up, looked liek a dead car, until u pass and u see the cop in the bag with the radar gun

It was an unmarked SUV. I'm sure normal cop cars windows don't roll down or only the driver can use them.. just like if you lock the passenger window in your car right?

[bspot]

I'm thinking they are allowed to wear their uniforms on their way to work because I followed a protege doing 110 with a cop driving it all the way down crowchild to work this morning.

[AllGoNoShow]

yah I find it funny how most off duty cops speed but whatever

[dezmarez]

there was a h2 hummer at our school...and then i saw at at the police station by the winter club...anybody else seen this police
h2 hummer

[AllGoNoShow]

seen it about 5 times, 3 at my school and 2 otherplaces

[Ben]

Saw a multanova van with a spare tire out and 4 ways on when I was coming down deerfoot south from Airdrie, right where it goes down to 100 from 110. I figured it was suspect and braked hard, sure enough, I was right.

[turbo_equiped]

Ok, if you go farther down from Deerfoot Mall, where all that rifle shooting range or something is. Their are police headquarters as well. You can see LOADS and LOADS of different undercover cars parked over there. It is just fucking scary to see.

[AllGoNoShow]

thatd be an awsome place for ben to go get some new photos ;) *cough*hint*nudge*wink*

[dezmarez]

i drove by there today
theres tons of white crown victorias and explorers

did you get pulled-over? is that the only way he can issue a ticket? cause he doesn't use photo radar, but just the laser to track your speed, right? cause i think i was going a bit over 70 before i saw him from around 50 meters away slowed down to like 60. is the only way to issue tickets this way, by getting pulled over?

cuz who knows, he could've got me with a camera and snapped my plate if i was unlucky..

[cujo_cjc]

so how exactly would i qualify for demerits on my record
its only when the pull you over right
because if its photo radar they can't prove it was you right?

and will either of these tickets raise insurance or is it only when you get one with demerits?

have you guys seen any ghost cars on that bow trail extension before?

[h22aseller]

if it is just a photo ticket you won't get any points off your license, and it shouldn't affect your insurance because it doesn't show up on your driving record.

[Go4Long]

if you get your photo taken by a car with it's four way flashers on go back and take a picture of it to use in court...4 way flashers is one of the few things they are not allowed to do with their photo cars, apparently it has something to do with the 4 ways being a sign of distress or something...
I have seen cars jacked up with a wheel off...that was about the most creative I have seen

[iblizzard]

Yeah, from what I heard the cops bought up 8 H2's for their fleet (I'm only assuming most of them are for promotional use?) Seems a little silly that they're spending their money on those when they could put it towards something a bit more useful (assuming that is the case)

And I've heard that they have one or two 5L mustang pursuit cars, completely done up and fast as all hell... again, not too sure how true that is either....

I'm a parts delivery driver, so I see all the unmarked cars around the NW... and it's true.. they drive anything and everything... if it's got wheels and a motor, they'll put some headlight strobes and some flashing red/blue lights on it and pull you over!

[rvd]

seen a blue excursion suv on 17th ave s.e. back window and 4 passenger windows all tinted. Looked at the passenger side seen a police uni, nothing to do with radar or anything but just another weapon for there aresnal I guess.
