Also in California, I’ve seen my fair share of minimally marked CHP cars, including the Camaros and the pure white Crown Vics. Lately, the local PDs have been buying Dodge Chargers and painting them pure black (looks pretty badass with the tinted windows and standard issue black rims). The weirdest unmarked car I’ve seen was a late 70’s model Dodge van. I drove past it once when it had pulled someone over, and my first thought was that it was an impostor trying to con someone, but it looked pretty legit when I slowed down. Then again, how accurate can I be going a “slow” 55 mph?

Like Brandon, I’m in California. Undercover CHP are, as far as I know, either illegal or very rarely used. But I have seen the Camaro Interceptors, which have plain white hoods and trunks, so not to be recognized when they’re either coming up behind you, or you’re moving up on them.

Not undercover, but here in CA i’ve seen a few Camero police cars, minimally marked and they have those low profile lights on top that are like 2 inches thick so you would never see it in your rearview.
