St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
I was on I 94 in St.Clair Shores MI the other day and I saw a new un-marked car.
It was a 2010 all black Mustang GT even the windows were blacked out so much you could not see in.
He had some one pulled over that's the only way you could tell he was a cop.
Lights in the rear window, strobes mounted in the tail lights and the front blinked and sparkled like a Christmas tree. All mounted behind the grill, some on the dash and strobes mounted in the head lights.
The last time I remember this city using a Mustang was in the late 80's and early 90's.
The funny thing is St.Clair shores does not have a lot of freeway to patrol (about 4 miles) so why the Mustang?
I wish I had a camera to take a picture.

My guess would be a State Patrol cruiser.

Nope a city cop.
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
Harper Woods has one as well.

Damn that's a pain in the ass to keep track of that kind of unmarked car. I would think a GPS tracking chip might be in order here.
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
I'm new to this forum but I see you live close to me (Grosse Pointe), what type of Radar do they use around here, will an Escort 8500 X50 be sufficent?

You should be fine.
I 94 between 8 Mile and I 75 have a few x band falses but my 9500 IX locked them out for me so I can't tell you where.
You know already about the cops in the Points and Harper Woods.
Detroit will leave you alone on the freeway but the State boys will get you.
North of there Roseville and St.Clair Shores are pricks, but I'm sure you know that.

Would it be safe to just get rid of X-Band all together, is it even used around here anymore?
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
I have ran into some depts that still use x band.

Where at?
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
Chesterfield, Detroit, Taylor, they are scattered everywhere.
I have even ran into some State boys using X, not all the time but enough so I keep X on.
I 75 Bay City all the way down to Toledo. I 94 from Port Huron to the Indiana line. I 69 scattered from Port Huron to Lansing. 696 not so much and I have not been on I 96 in years.

Haha, I travel enough of all of those to make it worth my while to keep X on. What about laser, is that popular here? I don't think I'll need a shifter will I? And I also forgot to say that I saw a stealth F150 on I94 around 9 mile last month, he had someone pulled over.
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
I have only been hit with laser between Chesterfield and Port Huron by a State boy twice in 4 months. Usually it's ka and some random x.

I have only seen him once.
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
I just saw an undercover Tahoe today, it was all blacked out, but had a couple blue/red aux. lights in the front and back, I was in the Troy area by I-696. It had those window visors on the 2 front windows only.
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
There's a MSP Charger using laser on I-94 from I-196 to indiana.

Since you live in GR, What type of Radar/Laser do they use between I96 from Detroit to Lansing/GR? I rarely see anyone out there.

Our police chief drives one like that totally un-marked. Now that's not fair. :mad:
So if you are driving along the St.Clair river in M.C. watch out. (not Mount Clemens)

I haven't seen much laser. Radar is K or Ka if I remember right. I wasn't keeping track of the type. I just slow when I hear the beep-beep. I have to go that way next week on the way to Canton, OH. I'll pay closer attention.
Re: St.Clair Shores MI un-marked car
The funk, if you are going to OH, make absolute sure you turn x band on. They use it regularly in OH. Just a heads up, that's all. I went to Port Huron yesterday and had x band turned on my Bel STi on the way there, and on my V1 on the way back. No x band encounters. I have heard x band is used on route 13 between Saginaw and Flint but haven't seen it for myself. Seem to see sparatic radar use between G.R and Lansing on I-96 lately. Got shot w/ laser twice in one day between Three Rivers and North of Kalamazoo on I-131 this past week but of course the officer put down his laser gun so I couldn't see which gun he was using.:cool:

Thanks. I leave x band on all the time.
