Why is the local highway in my area have more undercover cars patrolling and not regular patrol cars?

Erica Bottaro: Whats with the new mix up and verity of cars for use where people get off the highway?Why are they covering an area I know people would speed because the road is wide enough for a tank and there nothing but flat land on the sides?Why pull out all the under covers there was actully a line while paying my ticket I got in a spot there is never cops?...Show more

Ismael Sixon: Now there finally covering areas they cant part there cars where people normally do 7 over and take there time slowing down at with there police and state patrol bikes.

Isreal Kochheiser: There is a difference between unmarked cars and undercover cars.Unmarked cars have dash/deck lights,and some may even have lights in the grill.Most times,officers patrolling in unmarked cars will be in full uniform.Unmarked cars are used mainly for traffic enforcement.Also,shift supervisors may drive unmarked cars.Undercover cars are used in undercover operations.Also,the officers that drive ! them usually are in plain clothes....Show more

Angelyn Ducas: I worry because there working both towns during memorial day week using 70 percent under cover cars and bikes.

Jackelyn Archut: i notice you worry about what law enforcement officers are doing

Luther Plagmann: Why are they looking for abnormal driving. I drive for a living so they just gave me a ticket without asking me why I was speeding and whopping by fast.
