There was still one of these unmarked vehicles in the middle of the lane blocking traffic. He stayed in his vehicle with lights on and never got out. When he saw me turn in the turning lane he followed me. I signaled and turned into the right lane with the rest of the backed up traffic. He pulled right in front of me and turned sharply, cutting me off. 3 vehicles behind me went past and he then pulled out and went down the open left lane. NEVER did he get out of his vehicle to question me, even after I laid on my horn and opened my truck door.
    So, I followed his lead and went down the free lane. Next light, he parked in the middle of traffic and prevented cars from crossing during the light and the traffic in the right lane continued through the light. At Lincoln and I-25 he did the same thing. The sheep in the right lane all turned onto to the highway going south on the highway, in single file. I drove around his car to the right and continued East on Lincoln. Not one of the 4 vehicles with lights followed me.

    Seemed a bit odd to me. All of their plates ended in URC, though I only got two whole numbers. That is why I am asking.
    Could it have been a construction company trying to move traffic or blockers for oversized loads...which are authorized to do so?

    And undercover/vice type cars aren't going to deal with stuff like this

    Aren't construction companies, etc. supposed to have orange lights in cases like this?

    Please correct me if I read something into this that wasn't said or implied, but it sounds like these cars had red/blue lights running - which are reserved for official emergency vehicles only; right?

    A lot of them are getting private security or off duty cops to use the construction companies red/blue lighted cars...which they can get permission to use. Basically construction companies started figuring out that people will actually slow down for red/blue lights and reduce the risk of killing them while working.
