He has to still be a Texas Ranger if he showed me a badge, plus he mentioned he used to have a sensor for the exhaust noise and he had a radar gun in Utah. He mentioned they would pull over guys running catless and would give them tickets along with pulling over cars speeding, all in the STi.
all i know is, this guys got too many job titles, w/ one quick cop car.
he would have to run me off the road or call a real unit to stop me... how would you know if it's a real cop?? the Police Interceptor badge??? please, these fools who get strobes, intercom, and an "i support state troopers" badge could easily fit this description of a serial killer or rapist...

Vegas has some crazy ****. Ive seen cops pull people over with a new red mustang cobra, a silver minivan, and all sorts of crazy ****. Oh, and they are on duty and in uniform in these cars, not just off duty cops driving their home cars.

As far as I know the MP's jurisdiction is on and around the military base. Anything outside that, they need to call local PDs for support. It sounds strange too that he pulls over cars in the Sti and it's modified. Meaning he too is breaking the law by have things on the car that may not be smog legal.
i feel this is only good for us... having a cop who is knowledgable in sti's etc etc means he will respect evos, not assume or treat us unfairly... they wont give stock evo's a ticket for the spoiler, they wont give a ticket for muffler noise unless its seriously obnoxious....
