Saying stuff like "the most effective method of attack is not letting your enemy know where you will attack from" is just retarded. The general public aren't the enemy... Cops are supposed to be out there to "serve and protect" the general public, not to hide in ghost cars, bushes, behind bus stops, light posts, etc. and write tickets for going 15 over with the flow of traffic. Ghosts cars are only useful for collecting money, that's all
| Marked cruisers only work when people can see them, unmarked cars can be anything, anywhere, which is a much more effective tactic for preventing crime. If I knew that every single police cruiser was marked, I could do whatever I wanted until I spotted one, with unmarked cars, I no longer have the advantage of easy target aquisition. The entire purpose of unmarked cars is to cause paranoia in the minds of people who would commit traffic violations.
"To serve and protect", to protect the people on the road, police need to have access to new techniques for catching people who ignore the rules of the road, that means using ordinary cars to blend in. You don't seem to grasp the purpose of the police and their role in enforcing laws, when they are searching for traffic violations, they will use the most effective method possible.
You seem to believe that since a car is unmarked, it's somehow different from a marked car. There is a reason that traffic offences have fines attached, and it does not matter which car delivers the ticket. Marked and unmarked cars operate within the same fleet, with the same rules, for the same purpose, the only difference being that one is increasingly effective at preventing crime. |
