inspecting for what? i'm asking because over the next few weeks i'll be doing substantial work to my suspension, springs, struts, etc, which will probably make my car more of a target...

Back years ago when I worked for Metro Police at the time (now Toronto Police).... they had basicly Chrysler undercovers......... Now a days.......expect anything. I'll see if I can get you guys the whole scoop from Toronto, Peel and OPP.

the OPP have around 7 chevy camaro Z28s near Metro Toronto for high speed chases on 401, Gardener, and DVP, there are also apparantly some Volvo s70 T5s... apparantly there's some unmarked Caravan in Oakville...

(from FYST.com)possible "features" that an unmarked cop car is likely to have:
-flashing lights on the front grille or dash;
-suspicious lights on the back window;
-extra antennas (for their radio);
-big fat tires;
-anti-roll bars if viewed from the rear;
-alloy wheels, or missing hub caps (to avoid third-party damage in case they fly off during a high-speed chase);
-the front and rear seats seem to be separated by glass windows;
-suspiciously clean in the winter.

personally, after seeing (marked) cop beetles, and PT cruisers, who knows what the **** they're gonna use for unmarked cars, I'm investing in a good radar detector! www.escortradar.com/x50.htm This is also cuz of my recent ticket at a 401 speed trap for 45km over!(and all the previous tickets)

Fine for using a Radar Detector $245 + Confiscation.

BTW. Most speed detection on highways is done through lasers now, not radar. They're more accurate when it comes to pinpoint cars. A radar detector would be useless on a highway.

Why don't you just drive responsibly.

you do realise there is loop holes in the system that will allow you to get away with a fuz buster. also there are dectectors on the market that will do either radar or laser detection or both.
