    Pulled up on the right side berm as you enter the Boulder city limits. All lights go off when someone passes too fast. Yes, I have seen it go after "bad guy" speeders. <yes, there is humor there>

    So the lights are visible when activated? I knew there was something that had to give it away.

    I sometimes think about the crazy idea the Maryland State Police had on I 95 near the Susquehanna River bridge many years ago. They parked an older, out of service marked car in the median with a 2D cut out of a trooper in the driver's seat. For several months the prop worked and as expected, driver's on both sides of the road would brake and slow a bit as they moved past. Alas, some nefarious types eventually figured out that the marked car was unmanned and the vehicle was left on blocks with some very rude graffiti spray painted on various parts. Thus ended the service of that marked car.

    Traffic patrol has it's uses and given the number of annual traffic fatalities in our nation, I try to give some latitude to the revenue generation side of law enforcement.

    The State Patrol out of Golden has an F150 that's stealthy as heck. The light bars are inside the windshield and rear glass, tinted windows, no extra external antennae. I saw him with a tractor trailer pulled over on I-70 @ about Colfax this morning.

    Yep, the CSP has blacked out Chargers.. See them all the time on 36 and have seen a few on 6 through Clear Creek Canyon and on 70 up in the mountains.

    There was a CO town that had an old Scout, with a mannequin, parked on the outside of town...

    That would be the Town of Alma between Fairplay and Breckenridge. Dont want a ticket, dont break the law. Its worked for me for 30 years.

    Yep. Last ticket was in 89 because of the dealer that had just replaced the speedometer with the wrong one. Saw the cop, went past at 55 and got a ticket for 63-64. I have been pulled over a couple of time by fishing patrols. The town of Alma KS is the same way.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Nope. They have a real cop that pulls you over. First time I drove through Alma (1981) I was warned about the cops. Drove through there week before last and sure enough, the cop had someone pulled over.

    Back at least in the 90's, my family went camping up in Wyoming. In the tiny town of I think Centennial, the road had a turn, and at that corner they had an old cop car with a dummy and a "radar gun" inside.

    I wonder if it's still there...
