>>28624410imo the 3rd gen caprice is the 2nd most iconic police car behind the P71 CVPI but, it probably shares that position with the LTD crown vic and Dodge diplomat since they all looked the same. Picrel is topped with a Federal signal Aerodynic lightbar. It's defo my fav lightbar of the era - edges out the Twinsonic and jetsonic for me. The Twinsonic was alright but the speaker on the Twin sonic is like more of an acquired taste.
I'm rather partial to a jam sandwich myself
>>28624427I remember thinking the Battenberg cars were better when they first came online but, I kinda miss the Jam sandwich
LAPD got the 4th gen caprice right too, with the aerodynic too. I think for me on the 4th gen Caprice it's1. Aerodynic2.Streethawk3. Whelen EdgeI've got mixed feelings about the Code 3 Mx7000 on the Caprice, I like the Mx7000 but not really on the Caprice I feel like the street hawk suited it a bit better
Look no further, a simple livery for a car that is simple, light and easy to maintain (despite breaking down often).

P10 Primera unmarked car in japan, it used a red magnetic tear drop beacon. Probably some locally made copy of the Federal signal fireball. they still use those lights on some of their cars

>>28625108I spoke a little too soon about MX7000s on Caprices desu, They look pretty good and honestly I think they look cleaner than the Streekhawk, the Streekhawk looks a little too tall on the Caprice which looks pretty low and sleek. But, the Street hawk was a lot more popular since it was simpler to work on and a bit older so Departments were more likely to have in stock.Caprice MX7000:>https://www.policecararchives.org/examples/shfieldlake.jpg>https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CGfEgsRWgAAIELZ.jpg:largeCaprice Street hawk- >https://live.staticflickr.com/3837/14352203028_a7a4e8637b_b.jpg>https://live.staticflickr.com/3837/14352203028_a7a4e8637b_b.jpgargue they were even more quintessential than the Twin sonic as the classic brick lightbar. in face whelen edges on Caprices look a bit funny.you could probably split modern emergency lighting into 3 eras.The single beacon, a lot of people called them the gumball dispenser because they looked kind of like one.You could probably split emergency lighting into 3 different era. The early single rotating beacon, a lot of people called them the Gumball distancer because they looked like them. I don't know too much about them but, I know federal signal made a lot of them back then.>https://www.policecarwebsite.net/fc/ny/nypd/nypd1884.jpgThe next era was the Rotating light bars from around the 70s to the 90s. It was started with the Federal signal Twinsonic. This is the proper classic brick lightbar you've probably seen in cartoons. >https://code3garage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/california_highway_patrol_chp_twinsonic.jpgIf you asked a kid to draw a police car, it would probably have either a Twinsonic or an MX7000 or some kind of mix of the two.Anyway so the reason for the move to Full lightbars and away from the single beacon was cars were getting faster and needed more lights to get people's attention.
>>28624464For me it's the 4th gen Caprice with Vector/Vision
>>28626599>argue they were even more quintessential than the Twin sonic as the classic brick lightbar. in face whelen edges on Caprices look a bit funny.I fucked that line up kek, I meant Arguably MX7000s are more iconic than Twinsonics. Anyway Whelen Edges on Caprices look kinda weird.Anyway continuing what I was saying before, The Twinsonic was fairly popular but a drawback with it was when you drove fast it produced a lot of drag and apparently the difference was pretty significant in comparison to a car without a lightbar. To combat this Federal signal put out the Aerosonic and Aerodynic (The Aerosonic had the Twinsonic internals in the same shell the Aerodynic would later use). The Aerodynic was really popular in its time (late 70s early 80s) and it was used by basically everyone OP's Picrel is an Aerodynic and the 4th gen caprice earlier in the thread has it too.It was also pretty iconic on the Blue NYPD cars from 70s to 90s. Their ones looked like Candy canes and I think their neat>https://www.policecarwebsite.net/fc/ny/nypd/nypd2204.jpgThe Car in usual suspects has one too, the guy stands on it it's kinda satisfyinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxNL9-YlUk0NYPD TwinSonic- https://i.etsystatic.com/29129811/r/il/5c579f/3925217568/il_1080xN.3925217568_dk0y.jpgThe NYPD lightbars look different because NY Laws dictate that Emergency vehicles should have Red and white flashing lights. Most states require red and blue flashing lights, some of them are just blue flashers like Illinois. California has the most autistic law. It requires vehicles have a steady burn red light visible from the front with blue and yellow flashing lights visible from the back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w_nxRZlKjsYou can see the red light on the left in the video doesn't flash.
>>28626637Technically Cali cars only require the red steady burn with the blue and yellow flashers so. LAPD slick tops and unmarked crown vics go with the bare minimum.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaxNYv3UWzsThey've got a mix of the old halogens and new LED lights https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikesphotos_us/3370399324

Local municipalities seem to just run whatever and I know I've seen NY staties with red and blues on their Chargers, whatever lights they use are so pinprick-bright that from down the road, the red and blue blend and look like one purple light.

>>28629611afaik, it's state law. Emergency vehicles were originally supposed to run Red and white lights but, nowadays they're allowed to run blue lights too provided they also have red and white lights. Apparently they usually run blue lights on the back. But, that's more de facto than de jurehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1iVVXSiSh0here's a NY Sherriff responding on 9/11, They had a full red whelen edge at the time with white flashing Takedown lights:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyFyeOaUH_0These days they use Repainted NYPD cars though.Albany PD and NY State police cars seem to follow this trend too but, their lightbars are fully red at the front https://10-75.net/img17/D75_4043.jpghttps://www.publicservicevehicles.com/images/CmQQb9k0rS8oFfXrksaeWNGbNPMZRAycYPBFFdmO.jpegmy guess is that the headlight flashers count as the White lights to comply with the law. They've got blue lights on the back.Apparently just blue lights are reserved for Volounteer firefighters as a courtesy light

>>28629639When did land of mad max turn into such nanny state?
>>28629665cops will often set up a checkpoint of sorts on a random road on any day of the week to test for drug and booze cruisers. Unsurprisingly this occurs more frequently on friday and saturday nights. The plan B is supposed to be an alternate method of getting home after a fun night out. basically,>if you're drunk, don't drive, find another way to get home
>>28629802>The plan B is supposed to be an alternate method of getting home after a fun night out.That's pretty far-fetched imo. Especially written somewhere only a person already driving (in traffic behind the cop) is normally able to read. Might give this person ideas like finding a way around the checkpoints instead of stopping and calling a cab. Which, by the way, no one does, so it's better to write >if you're drunk, don't drive, find another way to get homein a bar, on the door, from the inside. It's simple language with straightforward meaning, something a drunk could understand easier. But I'm not an Anglo, so who knows, their brains might be working differently.
Are police cars a decent buy or not as a daily driver? I see so many actual p71s that are retired cop cars or taxis for sale for cheap. Are they good first car?
>>28629849Depends but, nowadays it skews towards know. There are 2 kinds of P71, the Patrol car and the detective car. Patrol cars are the most common and they've been absolutely ragged to hell. Ford says 1 hour of idling is roughly equivalent to 30 miles of driving. So, they're much more worn out than the mileage would initially imply. Detective cars are more sought after because they were mainly used to ferry Detectives to and from crime scenes so, they're generally less worn out and also in better condition since they don't generally do anything rough and tumble and the car hasn't been cut up to install the lighbar and cage. The catch is Ford stopped making the CVPI in 2011 and a lot of departments have already phased out their CVPI's, there's also a sort of "Crown vic tax" because back when Police agency's were offloading crown vics for pennies on the dollar, Youtubers and Social media fags couldn't stop spouting on about "muh cheap and reliable daily driver" which inflated the prices (even on ragged patrol cars) because people got the idea that Crown vics were desirable.Anyway Detective cars are generally the most sought after, they're a lot rarer these days and most susceptible to mark-ups and people trying to pass of their Ex Unmarked traffic cars as detective cars (they're not the same) so, you should be careful about that.If you can get a decent price on a Detective car in decent nick then you should go for it but, you should be aware that these cars are getting older and older and the mileage on them is only gonna go up.Idk about Taxis desu. I'd think to stay away from them because they probably idle a lot like patrol cars and Since Taxi companies are businesses I think they only get rid of cars when they're on their last legs.As a daily the P71 is alright, it rides well, the steering is good and most of them had air con especially if you live in a hot state. The fuel economy isn't spectacular though it's a 4.7L v8 and the intake manifolds crack
>>28629834it's just the usual public safety messages/propaganda like how you sometimes see those roadside signs saying "children about, slow down" or billboards here saying SPEEDING KILLS etc.
>>28629834>Might give this person ideas like finding a way around the checkpointsoh and also you'd have to know via waze or other things like that where check points are set up, usually you can tell when someone has an "oh shit" moment and tries to turn around, that's when one of the cops at the checkpoint will chase them down. i've never tried myself but i figure if you just turned into a side street pretending you're a grandpa driver, or someone actually going to their house in that street, they probably couldn't care less.
>>28624524Adorably goofy> O-OAre all USSR designed to look funny (like the Zambulance)?
>>28629874The stock radio and speakers are apparently pretty shit but, changing them out is a common mod.There are a bunch of different options the Agency could have speced, Usually the front seats are cloth, it has this rough hard wearing rubber floor and easy wipe vinyl seats in the back. But, a lot of detective cars did spec carpets and cloth seats in the back. Some of them have front seats with a Stab proof steel plate in them. The fuel tank can also explode if the car receives a hard enough rear collision.It used to be that people's assholes would pucker up when they see a crown vic. Because they'd think it was the police and they'd slow down and wouldn't cut you off and give you right of way etc. Idk about that now it depends on where you live - It's more of a knee jerk reaction though apparently - If you really wanna do that stuff you gotta look into Chargers or Interceptors but, it probably depends on your area
>>28629884All USSR designed looks surprisingly similar to cars from outside the USSR, that you can say for sure. There are few notable exceptions, though.

>>28630496
>>28629802Maybe it's a country thing but it's been obvious here for a long time that it means get a taxi or get a ride home, sort of like how if someone here drops a beer or a glass in a pub people will say "TAXI" since it means you're too fucked up to drive.
>>28630517They also rejected the Mustang about 10 years back because the transmissions and diffs shit themselves in pursuits. Somehow the Chrysler 300 SRT made the cut and is used by HWP.
>>28629457Ngl I think this is cool AF>>28630296Cool vic. Is the ride height adjustable at all? It seems like lowering here in Wisconsin is asking for something to get broken.

>>28630569was quite interesting going on my first work trip and we went pub crawling, only to get kinda kicked out of an irish pub when my boss knocked his glass over. bartender just said that while the reset of us could still order more drinks, he had enough. unfortunately i drew the short straw and had to walk him back to the hotel. it was more annoying than anything else because he just would not shut the fuck up; it really is true that alcohol amplifies your personality.
>>28629684Idk what agency the Caprices in the front with the Edge lightbars were. They're not LAPD, CHP or LASD. They look a lot like CHP cars but they have 6 pointed stars with no text and CHP didn't use Edge lightbars.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/p3opBpfcuSohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqinPZTs0FQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WF_NeBgm-ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIe6QmPZWegThe cars at the back were too blurry to properly make out and you also can't make out if the Crown vics have grilles or not. The ones with the grilles came out in 1994 (when the chase happened) so it's unlikely
>>28630839'93 seems a bit old for a diplomat to still be seen in use, you sure those aren't first gen crown vics?
>>28630875we were both mistaken. It's a caprice classic, the ones at the back are probably caprice classics too then
>>28630296Vics should never be this close to the groundIt just looks unnatural.
>>28630839possibly the Los Angeles county police? a defunct agency that mostly only existed to police public parks in LA
>>28630839All four Caprices in the first row are Orange County Sheriff.Second row Caprices have Whelen Edge lightbars as well, just different variant. And the one on Caprice Classic is actually Smith & Wesson lightbar.Cars behind them are CHP Crown Vics with FS Vision, and LTDs with Jetsonic.
>>28630839Fuck I love those old Caprice's, I wish my country got them. I've seen a handful of the wagons around that were imported at least but I'm not willing to pay the insane prices people want.
>>28631579Nice catches https://code3garage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ford_ltd_crown_vic_p72_lapd.jpgI think I had heard that Smith and Wesson made lightbars but, I've never seen one before https://code3garage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/smith-wesson_lightbar.png

>>28634775Native Canadians wouldn't Riot. They are very polite.
>>28631579>Orange County SheriffThey use Comic sans on their current cars
>>28634492The price issue might also be down to it being a 'luxury' car since it was marketed here as being a the luxury model of the Commodore. If someone in the US really wanted to, they could import some parts from a wreck and create a pretty classic luxury barge since our market still went for having pretty plush seats, as the Caprice really wasn't built for sport.

I called these the stinkymobiles and would try to drive the Tauruses instead.>had minimal experience with the Caprice but it handled well>Impala was ok but mostly a piece of shit, didn't handle as well as a car should, A/C had issues and would often break>Crown Vic I'm sorry but they're the biggest pieces of shit where so much stuff breaks, completely destroy themselves by 100k miles, but you can feel the power of that engine>Tahoes are downright dangerous for police duty, they're too big and heavy, you take a turn at speed and lose control. Very difficult to pursue suspects in and they get crashe often just because they don't fit on the road or in small places like a jail sally port. They get banged up often due to their sheer fatass size and it's seriously like trying to pursue a suspect in a Hellcat while you're driving a fucking schoolbus.Haven't driven the Chargers or any Dodges but my next agency (if I get hired) I think has them. I pull private security for billionaires now so get to drive much cooler shit, sometimes armored.
>>28636434The Liver Run.https://youtu.be/ZnW-sTwxeUMSomeone had to.
>>28636464Also pointed out that the Fords were AWD because wanted to mention that Ford's AWD system is shit. We'd lose control easily in the snow in those.

>>28633106>Like 90% marked police cars here are Transporter vansAren't Finnish police like 90% a taxi service for drunks, drugheads and other subhumans?Well, recently they sometimes put them down instead, but that's fine too.
>>28638352Those vans don't have cages in them though, there's just backseats for like 8 officers
>>28638342Las Cruces Police Department

>>28633106yeah but man do i shit my pants while speeding and i see one of these fuckers
>>28640165I saw that in a eurobeat meme compilation lol, the guy in the unmarked car wants to die on duty so his daughter could get the life insurance money. It's a pretty dumb plot but, the chase is good
>>28640452That's your internal cash register going kerchung.We all have that moment.
>>28624410>Be owner>Show up in pic with "person of interest">Have police find your car in raided garage/workshop>Get it impounded>Law allows use of impounded vehicles even before case goes to court>Parade car all over press as latest and greatest organ transport mobile>Nvm hard-as-bricks shocks make it the worst for the job>Fuck up its underside>Park it and never mention it ever againPicrel
>>28637578>>28640165
>>28641126did you take those hubcaps? they're actually worth a decent amount for what they are.
>>28641127Yes i still have them hanging in the garage next to the license plate.
>>28641100>Fuck up its undersidecheckedwhat did they do?
>>28641466Damaged chassis underside. Maybe from hitting a bump or ramp hard, but no details on that.Source (Portuguese):https://www.razaoautomovel.com/noticias/nissan-gt-r-gnr-avaria-o-que-se-passa/
>>28638914>>28638342>>28637678Holy shit, that brings me back. TJ hooker! That dodge st regis cop car hahaha.
>>28641878Hill Street Blues was a thing.Is that a Mazda 3?
>>28641845yeah, probably from hitting a speed bump too hard, was the owner reimbursed?
>>28636464Which impala did you drive? 8th gen or 9th gen?
>>28642291>ReimbursedLolLmaoMy guy, car was impounded and used without a formal accusation, let alone trial.Eventually he'll may be compensated, depending on case outcome, but nothing will compensate the time he couldn't enjoy it, nor the eventual devaluation or missed sale opportunities.
>>28642751for some reason the fact that it was used for organ transport instead of anything else really pisses me off
>>28636464>Crown Vic I'm sorry but they're the biggest pieces of shit where so much stuff breaksfrist of all, how DARE yo unot surprised though, these would've been absolutely beaten on and flogged to death ten times over.
I love these things like you wouldn't believe. I'd love to see an unmarked version but, I can't find any pictures or if it was even used in large numbers
post interiors
>>28642874Yeah, couldn't be a dumber use, but was just reading about it, and turns out it never even got to be used for that. Seems they detected the damage and sent it for repair but never got the go ahead, so no one has ever heard of it since. This was 4 years ago...So not sure if it was them or the original owner who fucked it up.Picrel CLS 350 (C218) was introduced at the same time and is actually being used for that.

Unmarked/low contrast patrol cars should be illegal. You can't change my mind.
>>28641126Ouch that is pretty fcukd up. I hope things work out for you.
>>28643923low contrast cars like that are retarded, it it because properly unmarked cars are illegal in those stats? I thought the little Police interceptor badge on the back of the crown vic was enough to satisfy the requirment that all cars have to be marked
Wanted to post some of my state's shitboxes but found no good res pics. Have an old police beetle instead.
>>28644034based, it like this alot
>>28643872It's a 3rd gen Nissan Patrol.
>>28633097>Are they larping as Nordics in there?Unironically yes. It is a cozy place to visit though, but now I’ve seen their police have switched to the boring Ford Explorers in recent years.
>>28633097
>>28644230looks amazing, it's better you larp as nordics than copy NYC, LA or some other metropolitan shithole
>>28642951NYPD Crown vics had the covering on their steering wheels picked off and holes poked in the dashboard for pens
>>28626630I never realised why they made the Vision lightbar until recently. Since the lights are angled in a V shape, it makes more lights visible from the side than there would be in a straight light bar, it's actually geniusIt also turned out to be much more versatile and configurable than I originally thought toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEu3X1uZuvc
>>28644406*Skip to 5:47 of vidrel for the FS Vision demo
>>28636324fair enough but, I think they're putting CCTV on the sides of the van so they can just record you while they drive down the street like a google maps car
>>28644410Im not watching commercials.

>>28644757>>28644820why do euro traffic cops wear helmets? they do the same in Japan too
>>28645947That's old shit; they used to wear them here to, at least for chases, not sure if they still carry them still, but think not.
>>28643244>>28643247>>28643252>>28643407>>28643410>>28643411Court apprehensions, pr duties only
>>28643254>>28643258>>28643260>>28643268Probably also apprehensions, but actual active duty>>28643380Around a decade ago or so there was a sudden surge of carjacking cases leading to at least one death; police reacted quickly (picrel specialized carjacking team) and carjacking went away as quickly as it had appeared.
