re: Louisiana State Police cars

Keeping us safe one inspection sticker at a time.

I wasn’t aware LA changed its state trooper car.

Usually they’re white. That’s an entirely different look I’ve never seen before.

I have to drive through a couple towns nearby frequently that have dark cruisers with dark lettering. You can’t spot them until you are right up in them. Pisses me off every time.

Alabama’s look pretty good.

They arent bad but the white ones look better

They going with that from now on?

This unit will spot them from miles away.

Cary (Centralized area of relocated yankees), NC has a few of these around.

yeah, that's probably wrong legal term (not sure what the proper term would be), but you know what I mean.

they do it to intentionally blend in so they can catch speeders, etc. and write more tickets to bring in more money.

if they wanted to actually get people to follow traffic laws, they would be in the most obscenely decorated car on the road to stick out like a sore thumb.
everyone would know they were there and would do the speed limit, use turn signals, etc.

but that doesn't bring in any money, so they don't do it that way.
they do it in a way where "technically" they are in plain sight in a marked car.
but it's done in a way to try to make you think they aren't there so you're more likely to break a traffic law and they get to write you a citation.

I meant I don’t understand what could be reasonable goal for going white on white and black on black with the decals. I suppose the obvious guess would maybe to be more discreet in their hunt for speeders, but that most obvious guess ironically seems to be the least likely to make good sense.
