I do not study the hue of flashing lights as I continue to drive past a traffic stop. Perhaps you do. I suspect you do, as it seems to be very important to you. Other citizens have more important things to do than memorize various law enforcement agencies choices of colors for their flashy lights. Even at that, any light bar that sits atop a police cruiser can be purchased. Any strobe that fits behind a grill can be purchased. Law enforcement does not have control of who buys these things. Almost every month I get another catalog from Galls who sells these. I am sure there are others. How about these? Or these? If you desire to enter law enforcement to contribute to society rather than be a corrupt leech, then it would behoove you to try to understand the position of the civilian. Otherwise, you are just a thug with a badge.

Another thing too is license plate type...here in Texas, any city/county/state
owned vehicle is normally going to have "exempt" license plates whether it has a light bar or not...If I see dash light and just see a regular texas license plate, they can kiss my trailing end. And I will get on the cell phone to 911 to report the situation to see if they do belong to anybody. but stop...no way till a marked unit can meet up, or we go straight to a substation....if it dont look right it probley isnt. |

I dont think FBI, DEA and BATF agents make routine traffic stops?
Here in Texas a local PD uses red and blue with a yellow light in the middle, the yellow in the middle may be optional? The drivers manual for the state of Texas says flashing red lights.... If the driver is unsure of an unmarked unit thay should probably call 911 and give thier location to the dispatch and they will probably get an answer shortly.

Sometimes cops use certian colors to mark off the "unmarked" Patrol cars.
Here in Ontario I see that the majority of unmarked cars are almost a dark purple that are on the streets. And they have a dull white/gray markings on them with the normal police markings that you cant see from farther away but you can notice them up close. So when your looking at one flashing there lights at you up close to pull you over you can normally see that they are cops. Dimitri
