    Watch out if you driving through Lawrence. On my way home from work, I saw an unmarked Buick LeSabre responding to a call. It even had normal plates.

    Who wants the Crown Vic?

    You sure it wasn't from Andover covering the city?

    No way to tell for sure since the car had no markings. It had a siren and some very well concealed flashing lights that you would probably never notice if they were not on.

    The more I think about it, it could very well be a cops personal car. Either way, be careful in the wonderful world of Lawrence!

    Lawrence PD are on their toes. I got in a high-speed chase with that very unmarked car (or one very similar). There was no way I was pulling over in downtown Lawrence for that shady car. I made him chase me back to the Andover line until I found a well-lit place to pull over. He told me to cut the shit and sent me on my way. Lawrence cops have more pressing matters to attend to I guess.

    I think it's only going to get worse, the wealthy towns that replace their crown vics a lot now have cruisers that have the light bars flush mounted into the roof of the car.

    It makes it way harder to recognize the cop car cause you can't see the light bar.

    Of course it is 100% a good thing for them as it surely increases their fuel economy a bit. But I bet they like it for stealth as well.

    i worked on developing those "visor" lights almost 8 years ago... its about time they got deployed!!

    the fuel economy is true but not a major deal when they leave those idling for hours on end.
    The wind drag associated with the big bars actually affects top speed according to our old wind tunnel results and test range results... top speed went from 128 to 119 with the big bar installed!

    Not that they actually go that fast on the street, but the results were interesting!

    I think the stealth is the most appealing factor to the cops... the rest is just marketing BS.

    Middleton is worse though. There's cops every thirty feet. At least on 114. Lawrence roads are too choppy.

    They have what looks like a Chrysler Intrepid here in Springfield, looked like burgundy color. No markings, haven't had enough time to see where the flashing lights might be.
