The fuel checks are done on a regular basis to diesel powered vehicles at scales, border crossings and randomly during roadside checks all over the US and Canada, may not be constitutional but it is a fact of life for diesel owners.

No Dude!!! the absolute wierdest, ugliest patrol ever was the 1976 AMC Ambassadors used by the Sheriff's Office here...big ass bubble lights...laughing stock of the state...if I can find a picture of one I will post it.

PSP Surveillance Truck. The camper part is removable.

That surveillance truck should blend in nicely in rural areas. I don't think I'd want to be the one sitting in the back for extended periods of time, looks a bit on the cramped side.

just a thought but you might want to blackout the plate, I'll bet not many green trucks with campers have those last 4.

Haven't posted here in a while but I happened upon a car this weekend that fits with this thread, at least in the "odd" sense.

2009-2011 Nissan Sentra, Arnaudville, LA, Police Dept.
6706240583_383d14b587_b.jpg

The dispatcher said they called it "The Egg"

The right-rear tire on that Nissan looks a little flat

Probably from being parked because nobody wants to drive it.

What are you going to pull over in a Nissan police car? That lawn mower?

Damn, check out the lights in back at 0:46! So weird... Then there's a traffic stop later on where the cop isn't using any warning lights at all visible to the rear - very strange.

Couldn't be that I'm from Arkansas or anything

In the past couple of weeks they've released a few new ones. Dead sexy.

The lights you mentioned is the new CHP system from Whelen. There is a link to a site elsewhere (I lost it when IT reformatted my ToughBook) that shows the different patterns. Personally, I love them!

As for the no lights on traffic thing. This is very common within CHP. Along the 5 you'd rarely see a CHP with its lights on. Many times once the stop was made, the officer would just use the cars hazard lights. Traffic would back up to bad with the overheads on. With the hazards, people just assume its a stalled car and go about their business without rubber necking or brake checking themselves. When lights are used, I often saw just a set of alternating amber with MAYBE two rear blues oscilating (that was rare). Of course, this was for the Visions.

I've been asking for that link for the last year but no one's been able to provide it. I've done site & google searches to no avail

Same here... however I spent some time this evening and finally tracked down where I first saw the link. Here it is;

LED Lightbar

Here ya go: LED Lightbar

This is beautiful. There oughta be more cop cars like this. This one's only a housing unit, though, which explains the reasonable amount of lighting.

From here.

If it's the same as what we have, they work for (or assigned to) the housing authority and deal with all the calls from public housing/ section 8/ etc.

They almost always turn there lights off there.

And one of the troopers stopped someone for a 70 in a 60 zone?? Cmon at least give them 15 over before stopping them its a highway.

Very nicely set-up bar, very minimalist in the way of flash patterns, which the recent studies show is the safest way to go
