+PedoBear yep, my state which has ridiculous tint laws (50%) so any of these models with an extremely dark tint is a real easy way to spot an undercover.
In Ohio, following a SWAT truck was 4 or 5 unmarked cars with lights on. The surprising part was there were Nissan's and Honda's with the Malibu and Tahoe. I thought they'd only drive American made cars.
yeah except that's in 2006. in 2016 they have dodge chargers & Ford explorers. Now they are all blacked out (undercover). All tinted and ghost markings on the side that say police. Well it's the story in NJ anyways, we have a ghost policr car problem
Sometimes i am really glad, that i live in germany. When i see a police car on the Autobahn i pull to the left, floor the pedal and just overtake it :D
There are many other reasons that your lucky to live in Germany is that on the Deutsche autobahns theres is no speed limits. Second thing is that there isn't strict laws as in the UK mate
Turk61 Bozkurt there Are speed limits, its just that some parts are without a limit, in which most of the times the autobahn is full so you can’t even drive that fast
Talhah Farooq on the left it mostly is! Like there are most of the time just people driving with 150kph or are just overtaking Someone without looking.
+Panthera 261 it is a gta reference... because they made a mock-audi and called it a tailgater... hinting at their shit driving ability... how are you saying its not a gta reference.
I'm glad this video helped you too. DEFINITELY helped me spot Canadian cop cars 😑 Actually one thing I figured out myself is that all cops have little fleet stickers in their plates. That's one good indication
if the cop is checking speed in a zone for speeders. Chances are the car will likely be facing towards you or facing away from you stationary as radar guns a highly accurate when they are checking speed coming towards or away from the gun in a straight line.
In the U.S: •Crown Victoria •Dodge Charger Ford Taurus •Ford Explorer •Chevy Tahoe (rare) •yellow license plates with the star •antenna •pitch black •ugly bland grey •push bar •smaller distinctive wheels

The tailgating one is not true in Norway. Here, unmarked cops will tailgate you and try to "push" you to go over the speed limit, then pull you over for it.
***** There is entrapment in the states... Not sure what you mean by bait cars... But entrapment is a thing in the states and its used quite often when the police essentially cause you to break the law.
Bait car is on COPS, the police park a nice car somewhere with the keys still in the ignition, hide somewhere, wait until someone steals it and then arrest them for it. Which would be illegal here in the UK because it's entrapment. This is why I thought there were no entrapment laws in the USA, because of this bait car thing.
In the US, that may not be seen as entrapment. FYI, there are entrapment laws in the UK according to the WikiPedia article on Entrapment ;) Entrapment would be the police directly doing something to you (like tailgating), physically threatening, etc. that would cause you to break the law. By setting up a nice car somewhere to steal on your own free will, they aren't directly doing something to you. Now, if a cop were to create this bait car, then have an undercover officer persuade you to steal it, that would be entrapment. But if no one persuades you, it's not.
In Russia, undercover cops can be: any car from tona 1987 to Rolls Royce 2018 They can be half a person in a car or 7 They can drive cars, bikes, planes, ships, trucks, even hover boards Some speed, some drive like ur dead granny
That's unmarked. Truly undercover cars with no unusual exterior features do exist. Just lookup the videos "911 Rapid Response, Undercover PD Vehicle" and "Unmarked Dodge Charger makes traffic stop highway 2" for proof.
The unmarked cars in america are still pretty easy to spot with the lights in the grill, extremely tinted windows which in my state are illegal so only the cops can have them... They usually drive chevy, dodges, or fords. They have government plates and usually those super ugly plastic looking rims
+ClashWithLegion CoC less and less Crown Vics, more and more Chargers, Impalas, Explorers/Expeditions etc. I see a lot of unmarked Impalas and Tahoes/Suburbans in my area (NJ/NYC)

+Hsnn502 the easiest way to spot them in US is by the rims, black mat smaller than normal rims needed for the run flats they have. Look at a marked police car to see how the rims look, then when driving see if you can spot the same type of rims on normal looking cars.

TheUbundu Yes. I know exactly how a cop car looks as I own an ex-cop Tahoe.
+Jermin Sanchez Wrong bro I thought the same thing until 3 days ago.. I work on a busy street and I looked at this car couldn't remember what it was but it was a cop sitting inside saw the badge on his shoulder and you know how they where the glasses and computer system inside. ABSOLUTELY no fucking way I could tell!!! He had a regular license plate, no police sign on the side, lights were visible in the rear but not in the front as I couldn't tell I was looking from the side! He looked NORMAL!!! COMPLETELY AGAINST THE FUCKING law and I want to actually call the department of Ventura and report them for misconduct as it wasn't for a investigation he was patrolling.
Senda Tube I don’t know if You’re joking or not, but they don’t because that’s misleading the public which is illegal, hence why you don’t see undercover ice cream vans
check their grills and license plates. if you live in az I've noticed a lot of undercover cops have "cf-" on the plates. and they drive Nissan frontiers and toyota pick ups and Chevy Malibus plus a number of other cars. the colors are normally white or black, once in a while you'll find a gold color on a few. those are the things I've noticed on them.
"Cops are skilled and courteous drivers who would never dream of tailgating" - I can't tell if you're being incredibly sarcastic, or if cops are really that different across the pond.
Peter Von Crastenberg Saw a blue GT pull someone over in Indiana. And I know certain districts in Texas, because it is Texas, has Vipers in their force. Both are cheap performance cars. Why not?
In the US an extremely easy way to find and undercover cop car is if it's a Ford Crown Victoria or a Dodge Charger with a ram bar, cops almost usually have a ram bar with them. (Many Crown Victoria's have been decommissioned )
I drive a Crown Vic in the US and for 8 years I have enjoyed the respect people give me as they mistake me for a possible cop. On the other hand you mentioned my biggest pet peeve that haunts me almost every time I put my car on the road and that is someone slowing down to BELOW the speed limit when I get behind them.
2019 Update: Police forces now added Ford Focus and Mondeo’s aswell as Vauxhall Insignia’s to the list. The Hyundai’s are being phased out and rarely seen anymore. The Evo’s are being phased out in favour of Subaru’s The Jags are usually only seen in London now. Audi A3 not used as too small. Other things to watch for: Cops are now allowed to drive alone. Any car older than a 2012 plate is usually not unmarked. The prime unmarked car age (as of 2019/2020) is between 2014-2018. With new cars having smaller/sleeker aerials, an older looking one/a long ungainly aerial is normally a giveaway They have dash recording equipment so if there’s something by the interior mirror, be careful.
Cops in England drive some nice cars! Still a lot of Crown Vics on the road in the states but also a lot of Chargers and Explorers. Here in the States it's big antenna, light bars hanging in the cab or front mounted push bars that are the give aways.
Cop cars are ford, holdens and Toyota in Australia! The antennae on the back window makes it easy here to pick, that's on the sedans. Utes I'm trying to perfect.
Back in the day it was easy. Any crown vic that wasnt standard cop car was usually an undercover cop car. Now they got ford explorers that blend in and its hard to tell when you are looking in the rear view. Black lowered tahoes are a giveaway, thank God chevy makes them look different. Nobody buys black tahoes
In Canada, it's pretty hard to spot an undercover officer. One method I used is, look through either the windshield, or the rear windshield, and if you see bars, then it's a cop.
In Canada, spotting the undercover cop car is just same as America. Tinted windows, antenna, black steel rims with chrome centre caps. The cars are Ford Taurus, Explorer, Dodge Charger, and more (mostly American cars).
+Huey Camus I don't see the point. Everyone who has watched movies, knows that the US police drive about in unmarked Crown Victorias and Chevy Tachoes. We could probably add Dodge Charger to the list too. XD
+Huey Camus Look for grey/black car colors, black steel wheels, the infamous side-light, occasional ram-bar, shapes in the grill and glass that are the lights, and now, every single Ford family vehicle: Fusion, Focus, Taurus, Explorer, etc. I've even seen undercover Mustang GTs.
+megadriver6 Don't forget the Malibu and Explorer... Possibly a Taurus (though those typically are marked). Random note, the Itasca Police Department up in Illinois has a Subaru WTX STi police car (marked though). So there'll always be those oddballs as well.
***** What about speed trap cars... Are those mostly Fords? Probably lower end ones, since all they need to do is sit all day. In Germany lots of speed trap cars are Skoda Yetis... Usually blue, grey, or green.
in Saudi Arabia, it will be standard car, with black wheels and wheel caps, rarely chrome, always clean and shiny like a brand new car coming out from factory few minutes ago , tinted windows except the windshield, sometimes a bullbar with yellow foglights lens, police antenna, most cars are Ford crown Victoria,Taurus , Hyundai Elantra, Accent, Sonata, Mercedes C200, Chevrolete Tahoe, Lumina, Caprice, Toyota Camry, Prado, Land Cruiser, Corolla, Nissan Patrol, GMC Yukon, and many other cars, you will not see all these cars in the same city, it's different from one to another
I once saw an undercover white Chevy Tahoe with shaded windows here in Saudi Arabia and I have seen many undercover Camrys and they are mostly the newest model Camrys
I'm from Europe and been living 4 months in Canada. And I've learned undercover cop cars are spotted from miles away there. Seriously, they're the same models are standard issue cop cars, painted matte black with "police" written all over it in glossy black! And you can quite clearly see the strobe lights behind the grille too.
Where I come from cops are understaffed under paid and under funded and have a quota. The fact I know why a cop is screwing up my day doesn't change the fact or change my irritability that he's splitting hairs to do it.
Not always. LAPD have alot of detective cars that use normal plates (chevrolet malibu, chevrolet equinox, toyota rav-4, toyota highlander, toyota tacoma, honda accord, toyota camry, chevrolet trailblazer, dodge intrepid, chevrolet monte carlo, nissan altima, nissan maxima, honda cr-v, etc And some cops in cailfornia use unmarked cars with normal plates.
They like their Mondeo Titaniums as well - the problem with those especially is the normally 95% reliable spotting of things behind the grill can also be the vane adjusters.
I saw a silver undercover octavia yesterday but the first thing I noticed was the antenna. Modern cars have hidden ones this had a fairly big one... late 80s/early 90s style.
My nearby towns in NJ have the usual Chargers, Explorers, Taurus, Crown Vicks, etc...but then I'll see under covers in cars I don't expect like Jeep Patriots, Toyota Camry's, Minivans, etc.
"..and the Audi driver behind you is maintaining, well, 'Audi' distance..." Hahahahah I can't even ;D That statement is both pure gold and the absolute truth!
Yeah here in australia i got pulled over by a cop and he was driving hes own car i was like really shocked when i saw that and i was doing 61 in a 60 zone so but let me off with a warning thank god
might wanna mention this is basically only for Europe. In the US the undercover cops use the same cars actual cops use, they arent very smart, and they also have big ass spotlights next to their left side view mirror
+IShoNoHonor As said before, they're getting smarter. I've seen unmarked Tundras, and unmarked Tahoes that were indistinguishable from a civilian Tahoe (rims, license plate, etc all were same as normal). The only sure fire way to know it's not a cop is if there's bumper stickers. Cops never have bumper stickers or anything sticker in their windows.
i love how in the UK/EU the cops have all this safety equipment in the trunk whereas in the US its just a bunch of guns and armor, really makes you wonder which one is truly trying to protect and serve
+TheUberdude14 They also travel alone and in unclean cars here in the UK.....I've recently been pulled over by one in warwickshire, don't believe everything you see on the internet...
+Joffert Van der post and Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf (R), Passat, Polo, Transporter Merceds C class, Skoda Octavia, BMW 3 series. And most of the time stationwagon or hatchback (but not always). And than you have the "special" cars like the Audi A6, BMW 5 series, x5 , Mercedes E. Often used by special teams but they can pull you over. And then there are a few undercover 4x4's but I don't know what cars they are exactly, they could be :Volkswagen Amarok, Toyota Hilux and Landcruiser and Mitsubishi L200 and Pajero. Those are used around the beach area's like Zandvoort and around Schiphol. There are websites who document all police vehicles including the undercover ones it's really worth checking those out.
I've been tailgated by cops, then they usually go around me and speed on without their sirens or lights on. if they don't have their lights on, they can't speed, it's an abuse of their power.
They do that trick all the time in Australia- they tailgate to see if you would speed up. Then pull you over and fine you, and say it was a test of your integrity, etc..
+Wet Lettuce I brake check them or slow down when they do that. It frustrates them and they end up committing traffic violations just to get around me lol.
I live in North Central Texas,Just an hour south of Dallas,Texas.Over 1/2 of our sheriff department vehicles have two license plate readers.One for each side.A few drive plain old late me pickup trucks.
an undercover cop car can literally be anything. From a Ferrari to an old 80's Honda. What the title should read is " 10 ways to spot an unmarked cop car" because there is a huge difference between unmarked and undercover. Now you know.
9. serach for visor lights (red/blue lights at the place of the sun visor) 10. small Red/blue flashing lights on the front bumper and rear bumper. sometimes these lights can be placed on the side of the cars in the back too. 11. Flashing light panel in the back of the car 12. it has a spotlight on the driver side A piller 13. there are more chanches that there is a undercover cop in a Ford Crown Victoria P71 police package
In Canada it's all about the antenna at the back. 2 - 4 and usually quite large. Not to mention the bars that separate the back seats. They don't tint their windows very well. Pluuuus it's all mostly Chevy Malibu, Cruze, Chargers and Escapes where I live. Very easy to tell
I'd say where I live, Explorers are the most common unmarked police vehicles I see. I've only seen one blue Taurus, and I'll admit that one was the sneakiest of the ones I've seen. Looked almost like a regular car but the only differences were the black rims and black bullbar. Gotta be careful a lot of the time lol.
The still at 1:03 is from the Waal bridge in Nijmegen. The BMW X5 is probably used by AT/SWAT teams. Normal police cars in the Netherlands drive Volkwagen, like the Golf in the back. Undercover cars can be anything fast, Volvo's, Audi's, BMW's.
In Finland it's fairly easy. See a VW Transporter with extended roof and maybe couple of white lights, two occupants, double doors, standard steel rims with hub caps, tinted windows and the car is colored white, grey, black or dark blue, it's most likely a cop. Also, same applies to VW and Skoda wagons, except for the rim and roof part. There are some other unmarked cars, but they're more difficult to spot.
Another tip in my experience (unfortunately quite a lot being pulled by undercovers in the UK) would be that they never seem to have anything hanging from the rear view mirror, like an air freshener and they are usually in generic colours like black, white, silver or grey in the West Midlands. And also, most undercovers seem to be estates (3 series and A6 here mainly with the odd Octavia) with the saloons being marked. If in doubt that is police behind you, get to a stop light and use your brake lights to look inside the car. And pretty much anyone with a radio strapped to their torso is police. Also little things like checking for dealership stickers and plates. If it's a second hand dealer, you know it's not police.
It's very easy in Northern Ireland.... be wary of any Audi saloon or estate especially A6, Skoda Octiva, Vauxhall Insignias and Ford Monedos but mainly Audi and Skodas and occasionally VW Passats but their range of VWs are pretty old now. Basically any of these without any form of writing on the number plate is a police car (as in the car retailer or who made the plate) which is normally a legal requirement in Northern Ireland. Occasionally they test new manufacturers such as a Mazda 3 MPS I once saw but if a MPS came up behind me with blue lights in the grill I would think it was some wide boy chancing their arm and wouldn't be stopping for it.
Undercover cop cars are usually space gray Fiats (especially Brava) in Poland but there are a lot of less specific undercover cop cars there too, but those are usually some sort of shade of gray (although the cars might be specific to a region, idek, only saw a few undercover cop cars and actually spotted the fact that they are undercover and all of them happened to be space gray Fiat Bravas)
In Phoenix, Arizona which is in the US, cop's undercover cars are getting really hard to spot. They don't have special plates that start with G and a dash that usually signify that its government vehicle, goofy antennas, or visible lights anywhere. Their car list is also crazy. They can include Minivans, Trucks, SUVs, Muscle Cars, Wagons, Crossovers, pretty much if it has 4 wheels it can be an undercover police car. The only way to possibly know is if you can see inside at who is driving it and you can spot their vest and polo shirts.
When i was going Home, I saw a Black, Clean Mitshubishi Expander with a Blue, Red Light on the Grille's and It has The Siren sounds. After saw that I say to my self "Thats just a Mod so people can get away from traffics". I didnt realize it was a undercover cop, iam glad my Dad is under 80KM/H.
Here in Eastern Europe police don't bother with undercover cars, cos if they film you w/o forward notice (like police car with signs on it) you can take it to court and sue them for invading your privacy. At some point there were "undercover" estates filming, but the revenue from these tickets were 1/10 of the court case expenses. Nowdays they just stay aside of the road filming with the cop cars and if you have enough money you can't care less for the tickets (highest i know is €2k for 300km/h in 100 zone). No points in your license, no max number of speeding violations. DUI however can get you few years in jail even on the 1st try.
In America a lowered Tahoe with no roof rack is unmarked/undercover. Also at night it's easy to see the lights in the window and grill. I almost passed 2 cars going 10 under when my lights caught a glimpse of the lights in the cop car.. Very close lol
last year on the M6 motorway - i pasted an unmarked black BMW - it had the lights in the rear window and in the grill at the front. Guy was wearing his yellow jacket - and he was laughing while on his mobile phone. Made me laugh
in sweden: a black, silver, gray or white Volvo V70 or XC70, or any standard issue police car on the roof there should be two antennas alongside the standard antenna & it'll follow the same guidelines as the ones in this video
Those are unmarked, like I've said many times to people, undercover can be anything, like a boat, or a dirty tractor, or a dirt bike. In fact, in New York, there is a undercover police car, that looks exactly like a taxi.
One easy way to spot them is headlights...the cop cars I've seen at night have small orange LED light strips in the headlights, but a lot of civilian cars have this feature, including my pickup.

You’re joking or not, but they don’t because that’s misleading the public which is illegal, hence why you don’t see undercover ice cream vans
The ones following me are horrible. They couldn't act in a sleep contest. Such losers. I say hi to them all the time. I just wish I could. You know?
RCMP register their cars in Feb...easy to figure out especially if it's a bald guy or fat lady...
Damn they let the cops drive some pretty nice cars out there
tax payers money. .
So THATS why your taxes are so stupid high
You got it !
Only traffic have nice vehicles, and the undercover ones are usually the nicest and have a about 1 per 5 officers
+michael cianci right fucking 5 series and shit lol
In the USA undercover cop cars arnt very undercover as they have light bars in the front and back windows
check their grills and license plates. if you live in az I've noticed a lot of undercover cops have "cf-" on the plates. and they drive Nissan frontiers and toyota pick ups and Chevy Malibus plus a number of other cars. the colors are normally white or black, once in a while you'll find a gold color on a few. those are the things I've noticed on them.
And like 17 antennas
Yes, but at night it is hard to spot the light bars
But there's a difference in an unmarked unit and an undercover unit
JaceDerekGaming !
"Cops are skilled and courteous drivers who would never dream of tailgating" - I can't tell if you're being incredibly sarcastic, or if cops are really that different across the pond.
I think he was naively serious
In America you usually just look out for the old crown vics
I look for jelly donut stains on the car
+Corey Lamm I've seen undercover Mustang GTs and Vipers.
+Michelangelo Hamato LOL
Ever car outside Donkin Donuts is cops
Peter Von Crastenberg Saw a blue GT pull someone over in Indiana. And I know certain districts in Texas, because it is Texas, has Vipers in their force. Both are cheap performance cars. Why not?
the antenna??? idk just a thought
or the rollcage they have to separate front from back
Getting pulled over with weed in the car is the scariest shit ever
+Yadiel Santana gettin pulled over with illegal aliens guns and hard drugs is a nightmare
lol you broke the cardinal rule of life dont break more than 1 major law at a time
Gotgas420 no antennas in uk undercovers
In the US an extremely easy way to find and undercover cop car is if it's a Ford Crown Victoria or a Dodge Charger with a ram bar, cops almost usually have a ram bar with them. (Many Crown Victoria's have been decommissioned )
And blacked out rims
I drive a Crown Vic in the US and for 8 years I have enjoyed the respect people give me as they mistake me for a possible cop. On the other hand you mentioned my biggest pet peeve that haunts me almost every time I put my car on the road and that is someone slowing down to BELOW the speed limit when I get behind them.
2019 Update: Police forces now added Ford Focus and Mondeo’s aswell as Vauxhall Insignia’s to the list.
The Hyundai’s are being phased out and rarely seen anymore.
The Evo’s are being phased out in favour of Subaru’s
The Jags are usually only seen in London now.
Audi A3 not used as too small.
Other things to watch for:
Cops are now allowed to drive alone.
Any car older than a 2012 plate is usually not unmarked. The prime unmarked car age (as of 2019/2020) is between 2014-2018.
With new cars having smaller/sleeker aerials, an older looking one/a long ungainly aerial is normally a giveaway
They have dash recording equipment so if there’s something by the interior mirror, be careful.
RCMP register their cars in Feb see the sticker?... serious crime squad pigs are bald headed males or skinny fake blonde Bitches...
In my country, it is illegal for an undercover police car to pull you over
***** Better than your dumbass country
+spare me from my pain and hes now too enberest to answer
So you're telling me if I was drunk swerving all over the place and waving a rifle out the window they won't be able to pull me over....
Wet Lettuce I meant as a regular traffic stop
Wet Lettuce And because impersonators
Cops in England drive some nice cars! Still a lot of Crown Vics on the road in the states but also a lot of Chargers and Explorers. Here in the States it's big antenna, light bars hanging in the cab or front mounted push bars that are the give aways.
"Audi distance" Lmao! i know this too well.
Cop cars are ford, holdens and Toyota in Australia! The antennae on the back window makes it easy here to pick, that's on the sedans. Utes I'm trying to perfect.
Even easier in New Zealand, we only have mufti Commodores
***** Yeah they use heaps. I watched this unmarked ford fiesta thing with a million dollar motor pulling over a dude when i visited. hilarious.
Reuben Morison absolute classic see a commy, slam on the brakes
Like 90% of the cars on the road lol
You know that there's an undercover cop around when they're driving the only Crown Victoria in your state
2:07 Best equipment in a cop car.
I think you meant "Unmarked" cop car... if you can figure out that they're "undercover", then they aren't doing their job very well.
2:18 or.... mybe can be a mom with many things in the trunk after Walmart? :v
*Asda
i live in US and they use Ford crown vics, and Chevy impalas, ford explorer, chevy tahoe, and the list goes on
>And remember, the cops are the good guys!
Oh, you sweet Summer child.
Back in the day it was easy. Any crown vic that wasnt standard cop car was usually an undercover cop car. Now they got ford explorers that blend in and its hard to tell when you are looking in the rear view. Black lowered tahoes are a giveaway, thank God chevy makes them look different. Nobody buys black tahoes
Now you gotta look out for chevrolet impalas, ford expeditions, dodge chargers, dodge durangos, ford tauruses, etc.
the VERY BEST way is to drive like a dick and then the "undercover" car will have all these flashing lights on it, making it very east to spot
In South Korea, undercover cop cars may have:
Police marks on the hood
Yes and in america 🇺🇸 they have Spotlight,pushbars and black rims
In Canada, it's pretty hard to spot an undercover officer. One method I used is, look through either the windshield, or the rear windshield, and if you see bars, then it's a cop.
In Canada, spotting the undercover cop car is just same as America. Tinted windows, antenna, black steel rims with chrome centre caps. The cars are Ford Taurus, Explorer, Dodge Charger, and more (mostly American cars).
Will there be an american version?
+Huey Camus
I don't see the point. Everyone who has watched movies, knows that the US police drive about in unmarked Crown Victorias and Chevy Tachoes. We could probably add Dodge Charger to the list too. XD
+megadriver6 Many, many more than that my friend.
+Huey Camus Look for grey/black car colors, black steel wheels, the infamous side-light, occasional ram-bar, shapes in the grill and glass that are the lights, and now, every single Ford family vehicle: Fusion, Focus, Taurus, Explorer, etc. I've even seen undercover Mustang GTs.
+megadriver6 Don't forget the Malibu and Explorer... Possibly a Taurus (though those typically are marked). Random note, the Itasca Police Department up in Illinois has a Subaru WTX STi police car (marked though). So there'll always be those oddballs as well.
*****
What about speed trap cars... Are those mostly Fords? Probably lower end ones, since all they need to do is sit all day.
In Germany lots of speed trap cars are Skoda Yetis... Usually blue, grey, or green.
in Saudi Arabia, it will be standard car, with black wheels and wheel caps, rarely chrome, always clean and shiny like a brand new car coming out from factory few minutes ago , tinted windows except the windshield, sometimes a bullbar with yellow foglights lens, police antenna, most cars are Ford crown Victoria,Taurus , Hyundai Elantra, Accent, Sonata, Mercedes C200, Chevrolete Tahoe, Lumina, Caprice, Toyota Camry, Prado, Land Cruiser, Corolla, Nissan Patrol, GMC Yukon,
and many other cars, you will not see all these cars in the same city, it's different from one to another
كلامك صحيح
You forgot to mention that they also have Ram bumpers, plus light bars in front & rear windows
I once saw an undercover white Chevy Tahoe with shaded windows here in Saudi Arabia and I have seen many undercover Camrys and they are mostly the newest model Camrys
i was actually in KSA a few years ago. they mostly stick to American cars from what ive seen
im glad its much easier to spot a cop in America
I'm from Europe and been living 4 months in Canada. And I've learned undercover cop cars are spotted from miles away there. Seriously, they're the same models are standard issue cop cars, painted matte black with "police" written all over it in glossy black! And you can quite clearly see the strobe lights behind the grille too.
That's unmarked copcar... undercover can be anything.... RCMP register their cars in Feb so look for Feb sticker on plate.
Simple way to spot a undercover cop
1: Anybody driving a Crown Victoria with black rims and tinted windows
Some of these require eagle eyes Especially "tiny dark panel behind the grill"
In America, pulling someone over for doing only 1 mph over the speed limit is unheard of.
lol no its not your on crack I see bullshit like that all the fucking time
gabriel j Strange. Usually in my area cops can be lenient.
Where I come from cops are understaffed under paid and under funded and have a quota. The fact I know why a cop is screwing up my day doesn't change the fact or change my irritability that he's splitting hairs to do it.
Just visit really snobby wealthy communities. Every cop in every one of those stuck up towns will do that
gabriel j fun fact, the majority of states in the us don't have quotas
It's so easy in Ca... they are always blacked out Chargers or Explorers with "CA Exempt" on the license plate and theyre tinted to shit
SharkByte that’s not undercover that’s unmarked there a difference
Not always. LAPD have alot of detective cars that use normal plates (chevrolet malibu, chevrolet equinox, toyota rav-4, toyota highlander, toyota tacoma, honda accord, toyota camry, chevrolet trailblazer, dodge intrepid, chevrolet monte carlo, nissan altima, nissan maxima, honda cr-v, etc
And some cops in cailfornia use unmarked cars with normal plates.
They like their Mondeo Titaniums as well - the problem with those especially is the normally 95% reliable spotting of things behind the grill can also be the vane adjusters.
There is another way of spotting them= We can catch the video of Car Throttle!😀😀😆
I saw a silver undercover octavia yesterday but the first thing I noticed was the antenna. Modern cars have hidden ones this had a fairly big one... late 80s/early 90s style.
71 mph in a 70 zone
Me: well your aloud to drive up to 73 mph
My nearby towns in NJ have the usual Chargers, Explorers, Taurus, Crown Vicks, etc...but then I'll see under covers in cars I don't expect like Jeep Patriots, Toyota Camry's, Minivans, etc.
"..and the Audi driver behind you is maintaining, well, 'Audi' distance..." Hahahahah I can't even ;D
That statement is both pure gold and the absolute truth!
In france, there are undercover patrol who use their personal car. We called "la BAC".
salut mec
salut
Yeah here in australia i got pulled over by a cop and he was driving hes own car i was like really shocked when i saw that and i was doing 61 in a 60 zone so but let me off with a warning thank god
@@MushRoom791 I would let him off with a warning
might wanna mention this is basically only for Europe. In the US the undercover cops use the same cars actual cops use, they arent very smart, and they also have big ass spotlights next to their left side view mirror
+IShoNoHonor
idk, they're getting smarter, a few months ago i was pulled over by an undercover driving an altima
velocity211 damn! The only problem I've run into is, since I live near the beach, some of the cops have pickup trucks. Which really throws me off.
normal marked ones are obvious but I been stopped by a Silverado with a rack and tool box never saw him coming lol
+IShoNoHonor As said before, they're getting smarter. I've seen unmarked Tundras, and unmarked Tahoes that were indistinguishable from a civilian Tahoe (rims, license plate, etc all were same as normal). The only sure fire way to know it's not a cop is if there's bumper stickers. Cops never have bumper stickers or anything sticker in their windows.
wow... ANY volvo... dude i have a 740 :/
Your point beeeeing?
+Bladsmith Well, 740 and so on usually are being droven by drifting lunetics like me... they draw attention thats the point.
+Erik Wallin Really? I always see old men in old volvos which they bought brand new thirthy years ago
+kilasracingfactory Not in sweden, here there are mostly old folks in 245 hatchbacks, not in 740s
+Erik Wallin Old volvos have a lot more streed cred n style than old, common bmw's, volvos ftw.
@1:33 "The Audi behind is maintaining Audi distance." So true...
i love how in the UK/EU the cops have all this safety equipment in the trunk whereas in the US its just a bunch of guns and armor, really makes you wonder which one is truly trying to protect and serve
Undercover police in Holland do travel alone and don't have a clean car so watch out when you're over here
+TheUberdude14 They also travel alone and in unclean cars here in the UK.....I've recently been pulled over by one in warwickshire, don't believe everything you see on the internet...
Yep, and they mostly use Audi A4s, Skoda Supurbs and Volvo V60/70s.
+Joffert Van der post and Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf (R), Passat, Polo, Transporter Merceds C class, Skoda Octavia, BMW 3 series. And most of the time stationwagon or hatchback (but not always). And than you have the "special" cars like the Audi A6, BMW 5 series, x5 , Mercedes E. Often used by special teams but they can pull you over. And then there are a few undercover 4x4's but I don't know what cars they are exactly, they could be :Volkswagen Amarok, Toyota Hilux and Landcruiser and Mitsubishi L200 and Pajero. Those are used around the beach area's like Zandvoort and around Schiphol. There are websites who document all police vehicles including the undercover ones it's really worth checking those out.
Bravo11090 damm guess i need to look into that list some more.
I see them in a VW Touran diesel alarmingly often. Why, police, why? Why drive in something as awful as that?
I've been tailgated by cops, then they usually go around me and speed on without their sirens or lights on. if they don't have their lights on, they can't speed, it's an abuse of their power.
I've been tailgated by an unmarked cop car before I didn't know at the time it was a cop so I sped up then they pulled me over for speeding....
They do that trick all the time in Australia- they tailgate to see if you would speed up. Then pull you over and fine you, and say it was a test of your integrity, etc..
"they can't speed, it's an abuse of their power." Put down the crack pipe, you've had enough.
Strange thing is they only gave me a warning for speeding so I'm just guessing they was bored that night and created a conversation starter..
+Wet Lettuce I brake check them or slow down when they do that. It frustrates them and they end up committing traffic violations just to get around me lol.
In Florida, cops are driving black chargers.
Yummywax Here in New York aswell. They also drive those taxi looking cars.
***** Yes.
Yup. They're one mean looking machines.
Same in Pennsylvania
where i live, if it is a black 2010 subaru forester, and has black rims, its 95% of the time a undercover cop car.
I live in North Central Texas,Just an hour south of Dallas,Texas.Over 1/2 of our sheriff department vehicles have two license plate readers.One for each side.A few drive plain old late me pickup trucks.
an undercover cop car can literally be anything. From a Ferrari to an old 80's Honda. What the title should read is " 10 ways to spot an unmarked cop car" because there is a huge difference between unmarked and undercover. Now you know.
why u use the armored pajero of Brazil's federal police on the thumbnail
and remember if a bmw uses the turn signal its definitely undercover
9. serach for visor lights (red/blue lights at the place of the sun visor)
10. small Red/blue flashing lights on the front bumper and rear bumper. sometimes these lights can be placed on the side of the cars in the back too.
11. Flashing light panel in the back of the car
12. it has a spotlight on the driver side A piller
13. there are more chanches that there is a undercover cop in a Ford Crown Victoria P71 police package
the car in thumbnail is my moms car lol
Really? o.o
If im not mistaken thats a brazilian licence plate
British* cops are the good guys. Over here in America, it's a different story.
Cops in America are the good guys. People complain about cops in the UK too. Point being, people just hate cops regardless of what they do.
Exactly. When people are in danger im 110% sure they'll dial 911
In Canada it's all about the antenna at the back. 2 - 4 and usually quite large. Not to mention the bars that separate the back seats. They don't tint their windows very well. Pluuuus it's all mostly Chevy Malibu, Cruze, Chargers and Escapes where I live. Very easy to tell
I'd say where I live, Explorers are the most common unmarked police vehicles I see. I've only seen one blue Taurus, and I'll admit that one was the sneakiest of the ones I've seen. Looked almost like a regular car but the only differences were the black rims and black bullbar. Gotta be careful a lot of the time lol.
The still at 1:03 is from the Waal bridge in Nijmegen. The BMW X5 is probably used by AT/SWAT teams. Normal police cars in the Netherlands drive Volkwagen, like the Golf in the back. Undercover cars can be anything fast, Volvo's, Audi's, BMW's.
In Finland it's fairly easy. See a VW Transporter with extended roof and maybe couple of white lights, two occupants, double doors, standard steel rims with hub caps, tinted windows and the car is colored white, grey, black or dark blue, it's most likely a cop.
Also, same applies to VW and Skoda wagons, except for the rim and roof part. There are some other unmarked cars, but they're more difficult to spot.
Another tip in my experience (unfortunately quite a lot being pulled by undercovers in the UK) would be that they never seem to have anything hanging from the rear view mirror, like an air freshener and they are usually in generic colours like black, white, silver or grey in the West Midlands. And also, most undercovers seem to be estates (3 series and A6 here mainly with the odd Octavia) with the saloons being marked.
If in doubt that is police behind you, get to a stop light and use your brake lights to look inside the car. And pretty much anyone with a radio strapped to their torso is police.
Also little things like checking for dealership stickers and plates. If it's a second hand dealer, you know it's not police.
It's very easy in Northern Ireland.... be wary of any Audi saloon or estate especially A6, Skoda Octiva, Vauxhall Insignias and Ford Monedos but mainly Audi and Skodas and occasionally VW Passats but their range of VWs are pretty old now. Basically any of these without any form of writing on the number plate is a police car (as in the car retailer or who made the plate) which is normally a legal requirement in Northern Ireland. Occasionally they test new manufacturers such as a Mazda 3 MPS I once saw but if a MPS came up behind me with blue lights in the grill I would think it was some wide boy chancing their arm and wouldn't be stopping for it.
Undercover cop cars are usually space gray Fiats (especially Brava) in Poland
but there are a lot of less specific undercover cop cars there too, but those are usually some sort of shade of gray (although the cars might be specific to a region, idek, only saw a few undercover cop cars and actually spotted the fact that they are undercover and all of them happened to be space gray Fiat Bravas)
UK has so many good polica cars! WOW , how desenvolved
In Phoenix, Arizona which is in the US, cop's undercover cars are getting really hard to spot. They don't have special plates that start with G and a dash that usually signify that its government vehicle, goofy antennas, or visible lights anywhere. Their car list is also crazy. They can include Minivans, Trucks, SUVs, Muscle Cars, Wagons, Crossovers, pretty much if it has 4 wheels it can be an undercover police car. The only way to possibly know is if you can see inside at who is driving it and you can spot their vest and polo shirts.
In Brazil all you need to know is that they use big and all black Mitsubishis, Range Rovers evoque or Dacia Duster
It's easier in Australia, just look for the giant HF antenna on the rear of the car, and the car Is usually a holden commodore, older model
When i was going Home, I saw a Black, Clean Mitshubishi Expander with a Blue, Red Light on the Grille's and It has The Siren sounds. After saw that I say to my self "Thats just a Mod so people can get away from traffics". I didnt realize it was a undercover cop, iam glad my Dad is under 80KM/H.
Here in Eastern Europe police don't bother with undercover cars, cos if they film you w/o forward notice (like police car with signs on it) you can take it to court and sue them for invading your privacy. At some point there were "undercover" estates filming, but the revenue from these tickets were 1/10 of the court case expenses. Nowdays they just stay aside of the road filming with the cop cars and if you have enough money you can't care less for the tickets (highest i know is €2k for 300km/h in 100 zone). No points in your license, no max number of speeding violations. DUI however can get you few years in jail even on the 1st try.
In America a lowered Tahoe with no roof rack is unmarked/undercover. Also at night it's easy to see the lights in the window and grill. I almost passed 2 cars going 10 under when my lights caught a glimpse of the lights in the cop car.. Very close lol
Don't forget the radio light.
In the USA
#1 Chevy Yukon
#2 big front bumper
#3 big antenna on roof
#4 spot light
#5 blacked out wheels with that grey thing on the rim
#6
"Any Volvo"
"HAAyundaiai" 😂
last year on the M6 motorway - i pasted an unmarked black BMW - it had the lights in the rear window and in the grill at the front. Guy was wearing his yellow jacket - and he was laughing while on his mobile phone. Made me laugh
in the USA where I live all regular and undercover/unmarked cop cars have a very distinct black wheels with little silver circular inserts.
in sweden:
a black, silver, gray or white Volvo V70 or XC70, or any standard issue police car
on the roof there should be two antennas alongside the standard antenna & it'll follow the same guidelines as the ones in this video
A good give away in the Birmingham area is police cars marked/unmarked have a number plate that begins with BX maybe some with BU.
Why am I watching this when I’m not even a teenager?
In New York, undercover cops drive Impalas, Crown Vics, Ford Explorers, Suburbans, etc...They're pretty easy to spot.
Those are unmarked, like I've said many times to people, undercover can be anything, like a boat, or a dirty tractor, or a dirt bike. In fact, in New York, there is a undercover police car, that looks exactly like a taxi.
in west texas a under cover will usually have stock black rims and extra antenna and they are usually white tahoes
One easy way to spot them is headlights...the cop cars I've seen at night have small orange LED light strips in the headlights, but a lot of civilian cars have this feature, including my pickup.
