increase in "ghost" or undercover cop cars

[bb147]

Is it just me or has there been an insane increase to the number of undercover cop cars in Calgary lately?

I've seen so many undercover cars especially on glenmore, crowchild and deerfoot.

Was on my way to school just now and I saw one, I was about to fly right past it until I looked and saw the car had a bunch of gear inside so I quickly slowed down to check for hidden lights, saw em so I moved into the next lane.

For the past few weeks I've seen at least one on the way to school and back, there's a few times where they already stopped aside to pull someone over.


FYI: The car was a Purple Dodge Durango, tinted windows (like always) and has a fleet license plate.

What other types of cars have you guys seen? and is it just me or has there been a insane increase to the number of these cops.

Really?? Wow. Havent seen him yet.

On the highway they have a new F350 with big tires on it. It is dark green so you cant see the lights very well, at least until they turn on.

I've seen a few undercover escapes on stoney.

edit:

looked just like this one

Undercover Ford Escape

I got lit up by a black Dodge Ram on Deerfoot by Glenmore. Could really not tell as it was night and the truck was all blacked out. Creeper!

[max_boost]

They are out to get you! Better obey all traffic laws

[Unknown303]

Is it bad that this doesn't bother me?? Why not, seems most people only obey the laws when near police so ghost cars help them catch people who think that they are in the clear.

This coming from someone who just got a blowing a red light ticket a couple weeks ago..

Seen a bunch of undercover on deerfoot as of late. All where either Suvs or standard cars in black.

But the other night ran into a cop that was part of the gang unit im assuming. 2 Ford Excursions and in between them was a look-a-like uhaul truck.

I saw the white ford f150 on deerfoot he was in the passing lane. Some dumb ass was driving slow so he turned on his lights and the driver moved over but he didn't pull them over just turned his lights off and passed.

That made my day.

Dear Police Officer thank you.

*edit* also seen a white cobalt

all you have to look for is the black sticker and slow down just in case

easy breazy

Hard when they are coming up behind you.

Nissan Murano. Yeah. I crapped myself.

It was a green one. I wasn't pulled over but I was beside him at a light and it was definitely a ghost car.

Cage in the back, Laptop out, Sirens and Lights and a uniformed cop driving.

My friend also claims to have seen an Altima pull someone over, full lights and all.

Pretty sneaky. It would be really easy for them to catch "at the light" racers. (Speaking of which, haven't done that in a while! Hmm... lol)

purple Intrepid too

[googe]

What a ridiculous waste of resources. There are virtually no ghost cars here. Sounds like we need to give the cops in Calgary some more real work to do

[The_Rural_Juror]

White truck with canopy and an Astrovan downtown the other day. Seriously.

[jacky4566]

I usual just avoid all domestics but with the Murano spotted maybe time to just drive safe. or invest in laser/radar jammers. jk.

[Graham_A_M]

^ thats what Im doing, but if they clock you by following you, and estimate your speed that way there isn't much you can do.

[black13]

yea definitely have noticed an increase. They've espeically stepped it up on stoney trail. Used to be almost like an auto-bahn with people doing going way over but this week I saw quite a few people pulled over and they were all with ghost cars.

[Squishy]

Seen quite a few black for escapes, as previously mentioned. I just happen to see them all the time with their lights on.

Does anyone else find that a bit hypocritical that the undercover SUV's usually have illegal tint, yet they still are able to pull you over and give tickets?...
