I'll give this a +1. There is a need for unmarked cars but a marked car makes everyone pay attention. Speeders slow down. I go to marginal neighborhoods for concerts and I notice the creepy guys try to look less creepy when a marked unit cruises by. It doesn't solve crimes but helps keep a lid on things.
