I had a 9C1 with single exhaust. It was a 2006 before the active fuel management and E 85 stuff started

It looks like they spent the budget on the side warning and had to resort to using STL it the back :hahano:

I love the Q, but come on...let it and your alternator rest!
I too used to be trigger happy with my siren, but then I utilized tactics I learned on here from the response video thread, and I've actually had more success with less sound activity. It's a lot easier on the ears, too.

Lot of pecker waving here.
The lighting package makes it look like a POV rather then an actual department vehicle, that said one of my local departments' traffic cars look like rolling christmas trees.
At least the lighting is actually visible. My immediate local department's detective car still use an ancient dash strobe light, can't recall who makes it but I swear they've had the same light in use for 20 years!

No offense taken.
It's probably because of our poor command of the English language.
Okay, seriously now... back to the facts:
I never questioned SOT's knowledge of Fl traffic regs, to which frankly I don't give a rat's kidney about. The statement I wrote was irrelevant was :
"The windshield is tinted because it is an unmarked unit! NOT a marked police car." Quote/Unquote SOT.
- Irrelevant because the conversation was about the fact that the Impala's windshield might have been indeed tinted, or if it were merely an impression induced by the fact that all other windows were heavily tinted. It was therefore mentioned that tinted windshields were hardly heard of, and PROBABLY illegal anyway.The fact that the car was an unmarked unit was not questioned.
- The cause/consequence link established here makes no sense. Cause : police unmarked. Consequence : tinted windshield. I fail to see the logic as well as the relation between theses two facts and merely stated so.
As RJ ventured, does it mean all cars with tinted windows are unmarked units then ?
There ya go Gents... a little clarificationnever hurts.
Hugs to you all from Beautiful France.
Over and out on this thread.

Here in South Florida, many unmarked police cars will have very dark tinted windows along with the front windshield tinted. It is very common as they do not want to be noticed (ever try doing crime suppression or narcotics in a marked unit or car with no tints where they can SEE you in uniform? Or what about doing surveillance?). It is not hardly heard of, or illegal for police vehicles.
Now, there are cars out there that have tints that are darker than state law allows. Sometime they will also have tinted windshields. Yes, its illegal unless it meets the requirements of Florida tint laws. Newsflash: people break the law.

Agree with all the comments about siren usage. When I was taught to drive response (Code 3) we were told that Wail was best for long, fast stretches of road because the sound travels further, then change to Yelp for junctions / intersections. The change of tone seems to attract driver's attention more. Use of airhorn is fine, but at least let the other tones get people's attention.
