Florida Highway Patrol gets serious

[NinetySixSVT]

Write your legislators then. They understand the different reasons for the dark tint.

I have written them, actually.

Recklessly.

That is all.

I haven't read every post in this thread, and maybe this has been brought up, but with numerous police districts using these "high speed" vehicles, do they or have they ever "tried racing" someone on the street, only to pull them over? I think it would be easy to do in say a Mach 1 or 03 Cobra. Pull along side another "modified" Mustang who's minding their own business, only to rev or jump on it (the police of course), waiting for the other car to do so. Get them above the speed limit and then you have a speeding violation or possibly street racing? Just wondering if this has happened?

Isn't that entrapment, which is illegal? Although that said cops who pose as hookers would be entrapment as well?

Please do a search on entrapment. This topic has been beaten to death. Neither case is even close to entrapment!

Florida has some strict laws. The murarradors arent new really. what's worse IMO are the white SUV's that are undercover. also, Daytona cops and FHP started using laser which really sux as well.

What's a murarrador???

Get with the program, it's built by the same company that produces the Furrierare and it's cousin the Lamboneerini.

You all should come to to New York City every now and then. Tints, jeez, undercover, detective, or narcotics car has a limo tint on it. Mind you I probably see more or just as many of these a day as regular squad cars. They drive taxi cabs, minivans, jeeps, sedans, and all different cars. I have seen cops in a camry, windstar, uhall van, old verizon vans, malibus, tahoes, denalias, explorers. You name it, I have seen it.

I think they should look into turbo'd Plymouth/Dodge minivans. Cheap, easy to get running really fast by turning up the boost, and really low-key. Plenty of room for K-9 units and prisoners and everything else.

i actually had a crown vic which was tinted, had exhuast, and was on non-factory rims attempting to get me into a race...while i was driving my 5.0....he just kept jumping on me.....i didnt bite...(no liscence on me and i had bald tires at the time)....well after i guess he realized i wasnt going to take the bait he just sped off ahead of me....eventually 2-3 miles down the road i pull into a gas station and the car was there witha cop getting out of it....

that's why i never race unless I can see the person driving.

Yeah, those things handle like they are on rails!!

Ha ha ha ha... True, true.

They also have an 02 Red Focus SVT.

:lol:

Just an FYI to North Carolina residents. All the unmarked Cameros will be replaced by unmarked GTOs. I'm not sure if they will use 04s or 05s but keep your eyes open.

 

[What????]

Hell our local sheriff has a built 5.0 foxbody on the force.

 

[Kool03Vert]

FHP is down at least one Marauder because it is sitting in thier troop barracks on 595 in Broward with a front end colision. I hope the trooper is ok.

Well thanks for the heads up!

I do know in Gastonia they have a couple unmarked cars that are upgraded.
They have a yellow Z06 and a yellow Honda that is riced out!
They cruise down the main drag where everyone hangsout and try to race.

Everyone knows about them now, but they got a bunch of people like that. Since the accident about a month ago where the guy lost control of his Z28 racing a Eclipse they are really cracking down on street racing.

Oh well, that's what the tracks are for! :rolling:
