Ima bust from the doctors office for: sunburn exemption. Thanks

Pro tip to know potential cop car (and to not take risks): look for those cop donut circle caps in the center rims, usually chromed. Those are usually cops and rarely people bought say auction or something

Richardson PD has an all black one that I ran into yesterday my Radar detector was going off like crazy when I turned the corner and I made direct eye contact. I didn’t see the plate but my first time ever seeing an all black Tahoe it even looked lowered than a typical Tahoe which threw me off at first.

They have one of these in Frisco too, constantly see it on Stonebrook pulling over people

[-]

Mynplus1throwaway@reddit

Richardson has a bright blue undercover charger. It's a bit worse imo.

Mooze34@reddit

That dude pulled me over. He’s a dick.

Maybe they can do their job and shut down Asian massage parlors that liter our once fine city.

I saw one today in Allen, looked like a regular navy blue SUV. Regular wheels on it. But had pulled someone over.

[-]

graenor1@reddit

That vehicle has been around for awhile now. I’ve seen it typically patrol western areas of Plano. Great for catching speeders in areas where speeder can easily and seriously injure or kill pedestrians.

[-]

Party_Supermarket_88@reddit

There’s pedestrians in west Plano?

[-]

Distribution-Radiant@reddit

When I worked at the Plano Whole Foods, I would often walk or bike to work. It was only 2 miles from my apt @ PGBT and Preston.

surfercano2@reddit

This is so fucking true. I grew up in plano and if you aren't walking the trails at arbor hills or in your million dollar neighborhood your ass is in a 100k car.

Gotta love growing up poor in a wealthy area. I remember getting the cops called on me for having a panic attack while brown. My brother got pulled up on by a cop for staring while brown. Shits wack

Plano PD is sketch bro. I was walking with my son and gf away from arbor hills, it was at about 8-830. They stopped and asked my name. I almost didn’t comply, it was such a wierd and aggressive request. Like dude, I’m leaving a park because some other guy in nature gear told me there was a fuck load of copper heads.

I dont trust plano pd. They got your typical “I went to highschool” here bros.

TeslaModelS3XY@reddit

Plano PD over polices the east side because they are poor & brown. Easy targets.

[-]

kevin_r13@reddit

Yes you're right, I've seen some unmarked or low marked cop cars with very dark tint. It made me wonder if it's legal.

[-]

Remote_Presentation6@reddit

Rules for thee but not for me.

redthump@reddit

So tacticool. Protect and serve or hide and surprise? Thanks for spending our tax money on a ninja paint job. Totally badass. Great use of funds.

[-]

tractorcrusher@reddit

You think black isn’t an OEM paint color from Chevy?

[-]

adaytoocala@reddit

They clearly had to spend extra tax payer money to get it that special onyx like color. It’s darker than any other color I’ve seen. The only way to describe it is “void”

[-]

tractorcrusher@reddit

It’s either Black or Dark Ash Metallic- https://www.gmenvolve.com/content/dam/gmenvolve/na/us/english/index/police-segment-page/02-pdfs/24GMFG-Tahoe-PPV-v2.pdf

Plano isn’t sending freshly painted fleet Tahoes to a custom shop for a slightly different glossy black.

[-]

Fit-Supermarket-1904@reddit

Lmao this thread!! Thanks though!

[-]

DarkL1ghtn1ng@reddit

What model of car is it?

[-]

TXVette121@reddit

Tahoe. I call it the "stealth car"

[-]

CFBDevil@reddit

Protip: unmarked police vehicles don’t have roof racks.

[-]

SmoothCdn@reddit

Not 100% true. They sometimes use non interceptor versions

[-]

Sir_Space_Naught@reddit

Yeah, but they also have the LS grille and usually don’t have the door moldings. I used to service most PDs fleet cars in the metroplex. Worst one ive seen is Parker PDs ghost tahoe.

Looks just like an LTZ Tahoe but has very faint paint matched decals with reflective pinstripes in them.

Only real way to spot that it’s a cop is due to the running boards not having chrome like a normal LTZ. Or the fact that its constantly sitting on Parker road and Dillehay/Angel just west of the fire department.

[-]

vela56@reddit

And i’ve seen some civilian cars with no roof racks. It goes both ways

[-]

Visible_Wolverine_76@reddit

I think it sits on Jupiter near Park a lot, but maybe they have more than one. I saw one with Chrome Factory Wheels

Some states have laws that prevent unmarked cars from pulling motorists over. These were enacted because people were getting raped by people impersonating officers. Texas needs this law because it gives people the option of driving to the nearest police station for safety while being tailed by a supposed officer.

[-]

TxDirtRoad@reddit

Yeah, try that in Arkansas and you will find your self pitted

[-]

TxDirtRoad@reddit

When they have to hide, they are no longer protecting and serving, they are hunting.

I've seen it a few times along legacy running traffic.

[-]

bitshifter52@reddit

I drive a school bus and really appreciate the police when they stop someone who runs my reds. There have been several close calls with drivers ignoring the stop signs and almost running over a kid. These drivers are offended when I blow the bus horn to warn them and the students.
