Default Thought this was a little cheeky

I live in Canada for the past couple years, so many of the police cruise around in undercover cars, although they are pretty easy to spot if you know what your looking for, but i guess this guy decided to make his a little more undercover.


I thought it was a little cheeky, I guess its perfectly fine to do here though. not sure how this would go down in England though

Certain Police Forces in the Midlands have hire car stickers on their unmarked stuff also...

Cops up here use hire cars too. Used to supply Strathclyde police with cars in my old job.

cops round here have taken cars of drug dealers in the past and then drove them about waiting to pick the runners up.

That is pretty cheeky, don't think I've seen rental cars being used around here... they do tend to use 'random' cars, like an R-reg Passat 1.8T and a 51-plate billy base spec Avensis.


Cheers,
Grant

on the a23/m23 theres regularly a top spec evo 9 in lower spec guise copper car, i've also seen a brand spanker red audi tt and also an older toyota chav 4
never seen a hire car copper before, makes sense tho as there's nothing quicker on the road then a rental car

they use all sorts of cars. we got a dark blue transit that is in for bodywork that is a undercover meat wagon, got a cage in the back but the roof spinny vent things are what im gonna lookout for now

oh and a unmarked 53 plate avensis and a 06 plate mondeo but thats the serious crime squad car,,,,,, only pulls over the dick head in a subaru who flashes them to move over and tailgates them and speeds of at quite high speed,,,,,, DOH !
