Ouch...hope noone was hurt...

plenty of fire, the mattydale's unfolded, the guys are in place...NOW ALL WE NEED IS SOME WATER!!

they patrol the airport and toll bridges and tunnels and the port of baltimore

The mandate has no leagal binding .Many counties use these markings but many do not

either way, that Le Mans is toast

And yes, you can four-wheel drift one of these in a pursuit, just don't do it when the Flight Chief is behind you.

Your right, they are mandated to these colors.

This Ford Police car is Montgomery County, Maryland.

In South Carolina we have the State Transport Police. They enforce CMV laws. Maybe its the same thing?

Hey, this is like the car Paris and Nicole drove around! 8-)

Man, they ruined this one with the forward strobes. Should have gone with LEDs.

Honda has their own line of police bikes, look kinda similar to the BMW RT-1150P. They are very nice looking. Have not seen any in service in person though.

Isn't this car from Montgomery County, Virginia or Maryland? Anyways, I don't know about the department but I believe I recognize this car from news footage I saw during the D.C. sniper shootings back in the fall of 2002. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

I wonder who copied who??? That unit looks exactly like a Honolulu HI PD unit, except for a few minor things.

I believe he means what kind of scheme, NOT the colors.

I am not sure and you can find better DPS photos, but It is white over all black lower, white A, B, and C pillers, white trunk, and I think a black hood but not sure.

How do you know that the officer changed departments? If it is true sorry for the loss of another brother...

Oh yeah, they are usualy used for traffic enforcement becasue when they are popping radar on the side of a road they are able to get up to freeway speed faster than a CV, allowing them to merge into traffic safer and quicker than at a slower speed. This allows them to get on the freeway right after getting the radar hit so they dont get to far behind the speeder, having to play catch up, changing in and out of lanes of traffic at a higher rate of speed, possibly causing an accident trying to catch the speeder.

Regardless of if its fast or not, the Trooper can ONLY drive as fast as it is safe for traffic, road and weather conditions. They department WILL get sued if they have officers with a lead foot doing 130 down a freeway with lights and sirens and they hit someone. At about 60-70 MPH the unit will outrun it's siren and lights and sirens only REQUEST the right of way, not everyone yeilds very quick. The officer has to to move with traffic with the safety of other drivers in mind.

Units like those are usually used for traffic enforcement and commerical vehicle enforcement. They can blend into traffic better than a CV even with the Edge lightbar.

And to the comment about the Aston Martin, they can try running from an officer, and may be able to out run it, but they will also have to deal with the traffic and the slower drivers on the freeway. They can pass on the shoulders, but when idiots do that, they usually end up hitting a patch of dirt, fish tailing, then rolling their sports car, turing their very expensive piece of crap into nothing more than a tangled metal piece of art.

In the movie XXX: State of the Union there was a 1997 Crown Victoria LX and a 2005 Dark Blue Crown Vic and there was a 1996 Chevy Caprice in the movie
the DC police cars had no spotlights and they had a different lightbar in the movie. in which they arrived at the home of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in which Darius Stone was in. was the DC police cars realistic and is the house in which Stone was in filmed in DC or Baltimore.

What is the job description of Transportation Authority Police?
