It varies depending on where you are. Here any police officer can enforce traffic laws, on or off duty, in or out of uniform, regardless of the vehicle. Our law only requires you display a badge. For some reason, it specifies that if you are using a RADAR or LIDAR you have to be in uniform, but you can still use an unmarked car.

> Rosie: curiously you haven't any longer considered the autos we've over right here, very discreet black Chargers. I agree one hundred% with Rosie. Unmarked autos are eighty% Fords great boxy issues i won't be able to think of of the kind call acceptable now), 15% pimped out confiscations from drug sellers no person else quite has, and 5% others. I easily have considered some Camaros or comparable autos - yet they tournament an analogous fashions that the familiar cruisers are, basically like the Fords, basically pained undeniable white or black. considered the different undeniable white or black autos that are an analogous fashions as police cruisers in any parking lots presently? i do no longer think of so. thank you for including that your branch makes use of each and each of an analogous autos and paints all of them black. those are no longer ordinary to %. out in a crowd, i'm specific :) And confident they do all have extraordinary antennas and regularly some sirens hidden interior the grill or someplace else the place they are able to be observed in a rearview mirror as quickly as the automobile itself will develop suspicion. on occasion the "cop mustache" of the driving force is a ineffective giveaway :) If police quite must be disregarded, enable them to force inventory Toyota Camrys, when you consider that those ere the main worry-unfastened autos on the line.

Absolutely. In fact, many patrol cars on traffic duty are unmarked on purpose.

When I worked for the State Police they had to request a fully marked unit to actually make the traffic stop but they actually are the ones the write the ticket

You are allowed to request a police officer in uniform whenever an unmarked car pulls you over.

If they identify themselves clearly before issuing it, including producing identification. You might be able to appeal if you can prove an unmarked vehicle acted in such a war as to make you speed etc.

Yes they can, but generally they leave this to the patrol officers, except in cases where it is absolutely necessary, like pulling over a DUI [DWI].

they can also stop you if they are off duty, they usually wont have a citation book with them but they can stop you and call in another officer... most officers wont when they are off duty but it can happen
