I'm sure most of you have noticed, but some may not have yet. There are Dodge Chargers as the State Police. That's not the bad part really, as those are marked police cars.

There have been Chargers with tinted windows roaming around my city. They ended up being unmarked police cars. How do I know? Well, one drove past my house and there was a radar on the dash. The cop was also dressed casually, so most likely they are not traffic cops. But just a warning, Chargers may be cops and they may pull you over unexpectedly

charger interceptor

Yeah I was going onto 355 after work yesterday and doing my usual acceleration. I saw a white car a bit behind as the ramp was merging, thought nothing of it, went in the middle with a short turn signal. Then suddenly the white car pull quickly beside me, which to my surprise it was the Charger interceptor. I was sh&$ing bricks because he slowed down the his signal on to come into my lane but luckly he was going after the Hummer in front of me.

So now guess have to really scan around to be sure from now on.

Just when we all got used to those Crown Vic headlights, now we gotta worry about Charger headlights! lol. Well, that's how I look out for cops anyways.

Oh, and, you're very welcome

I saw a motorcycle cop on I-55 between the airport and the Loop with somebody pulled over. Earlier this year I saw a dark green Impala (forest green like the park district) with somebody pulled over.

Funny thing about Camaro cop cars is that they will be parked on the side of the road and just as I am thinking, "Hmmm, hardly ever see a broke down Camaro" it occurs to me that it's a cop! I've been lucky to not be speeding and I always chuckle like ALMOST got me.

Actually there is an SRT-8 interceptor around the Huntley and Lake In The Hills area. It was black and said SRT-8 on the side of the car. Let me tell you............looking at this interceptor almost made me not want to go fast in my car anymore.
