Lately in calif I've seen quite a few CHP officers on the freeway speeding around...80 90mph with yellow lights on at the back of the light bar. You can't see the lights if you're in front of the cruiser, but when they pass you see em.


Whats the deal with the lights? I've seen CHP put them on when they merge onto the freeway, I've seen them put them on when they just speed up for a bit and then slow down....seen them for every reason BUT pulling people over.

Whats the deal? some new safty thing?

 

nevar seen it

but i must say that i do hate those camaro chp cars...damn stealthy bastards

 

At least they're very bright WHITE. It's the new lo-profile light bars that are clear when off that are a real problem.

 

those are former ricers that have joined the popo squad

 

:rofl: haha. have you seen these new lights though? They are -at best- maybe 3" high and fit tight against the roofline. Very sneaky.

All part of the new plan to snare drunk drivers, I bet. If a driver was buzzing, he'd never see them until it was too late.

 

We have Camaros on our highways now to :nervous:

 

bump for that guy whos a cop on the boards...i forget

 

cars with ONLY orange lights in the windshields probably aren't traffic cops. supposedly they need at least a red light somewhere in order to pull someone over. it could be one of those community service officers, or it could be a departmental car, not necessarily a squad car. but it can turn the orange lights on if it needs to.

those camero cops are annoying. that is the one thing i'm afraid of now, in terms of CHP. our county sheriff's office has one or two, also... has anyone seen the CHP volvos? there are only a few running around.

 

they have volvos out there too :doh:

knock on wood.

 

on my way back from iowa going back to ohio,..i was in indiana and a black SS pulls up next to me on the highway and throws me a little rev,...i looked at him and shook my head no,...i couldnt tell who was driving because the windows were DARKKK,...anyways yea so i shook my head and so he falls back and gets in the lane behind me,....he is about 5 car lengths back,...5 mins goes by and this cavalier is doing atleast 90 MPH in the fast lane,...flys by the both of us,..something catches my attention in my rearview mirror,..it was red and blue flashing lights coming from the dash of the black SS camaro,...whoaaaa,..im lucky i was smart enough to know my LS was not any competition with the SS on the highway,..im also lucky i didnt have my bottle open or else i might have tried to see how well i would do against him :rick: ,...sneaky bastards
