how many different unmarked police cars have you seen driving on the tollways?
i went driving down 90 today and saw about a dozen state troopers pulling people over, hiding in traffic or hiding on the side of the road. the majority of them weren't the typical white crown vic with yellow lettering on the side.
of the three people i saw pulled over, two were pulled over by dark grey unmarked crown vics, and one was being pulled over by an unmarked green camaro. i almost screwed myself twice by speeding up around a pack of cars to discover an unmarked crown vic hiding in the pack. i've been seeing more of these dark grey unmarked crown vics like when i got a ticket a month ago on 72, it was from one of these hiding behind a gas station shooting laser.
that camaro really made me paranoid. now i'm wondering what else the state troopers are putting light bars in and sending out on the tollways.

There is a white Mustang that likes to hide on I-290/I-355 intersection right by D&B.
Also saw Camaros, Grand Prix and even a Grand Caravan once. Just watch out for antennas.

Some of the camaros and stangs are easy to spot with the rear tint and antennas >>>
I was going down I-88 about a year ago and I came up on this 5 yr old Grand Prix GT in the fast lane. As I rolled up on him, I noticed two rear window mount cell type antennas. This made me look harder as I was nearly tailgating him. The rear window had no tint I finally noticed two tiny lights on the rear deck. He moved over to the middle lane and I noticed his uniform. I pulled in behind him and backed off. I new Lexus LS400 then went flying past him, and he went into pursuit and pulled him over.
These cops are getting way to sneaky! You can usually pick out the stangs and camaros a mile away with the blank tint back window and antenna farm on the roof.

What a freakin waste of tax dollars! Don't even want to guess what
the cost is per hour for the State Police to operate a chopper to catch speeders. Any kind of aircraft!
Nuts!
