ILLINIOS STATE TROOPERS have a new weapon

I was driving down I-355 (Chicago burbs) and saw someone pulled over ahead, I look over from a distance and wonder what the Trooper is driving..... as I get closer I realize it is a bronze colored (desert sand mica) Toyota Sequoia.
I am thinking , now I have to be on the look out for this freakin thing

So, to all you locals or tourists...beware the Sequoia

any other undercover units out there I need to be watching for?

i would never, EVER, pull over for a beige toyota. if it's not a marked police car, you'll have to run me off the road if you want me to stop.

do you know how many people have been robbed/raped/murdered by fake cops?

The town cops still have crown vics here. but the Provincial(highway) cops have Chargers. The Chargers look pretty cool all 'copped' out. Looks agressive

well, virginia, is a special case, and they are well known for the "having out of state tags on a saturday night" ticket.

wow, an R-34.... I would have probably chased the R-34 if he was booking through traffic and if I could not tell it was a cop ..... very dangerous

here in IL, the plate always gives them away... it has a M or an SP or a few variations.... when in doubt check the plate

the only thing that will give it away is when you get on its ass there is small print under the plate number that says local government use only

Hence, why there are no unmarked patrol cars in OH

Here in iowa the highway cops use crown vics, chargers and some magnums. In Des moines they also have exploders, rangers and escapes. The rangers suck because they look like animal control.

Some of the cars the cops are using were takin thru drug bust forfeitures.
Police here have a couple Vette's they're using as DARE cars.

HB

I'm from Lakewood and spent most of highschool at the cliffs hehe

The fun cops we have around here came from a undercover street racing sting. Besides the chargers and mustangs unmarked there is a black 350z w/ gold rims. Cant tell it's a cop until the light bar comes on
