[quote name='Crash Cop' post='207649' date='Apr 22 2008, 09:00 ']Oh, I'm just busting your chops. I always think it's funny how people say we're "hiding" when were parked on the side of the road and they see us. Obviously we're not hiding very well. Like it matters?...I could stand in the middle of the street trying to hand out $100 dollar bills and people would speed right past me. Just last night I was driving up the freeway in the far right lane, a marked Border Patrol unit was right alongside me two lanes over (we were the only 2 cars there), and this guy sped right past us in the empty lane between our two marked cop cars. It's just soooooo easy sometimes, who needs to hide? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]
I think the "sneakiest" (read "most clever") set-up I've ever encountered was in Anne Arundel Co., MD in the early 90's on I-97. We were in a protracted drought, and all the grass along the highway was burned brown. A MSP trooper had his unit, a Desert Tan Ford, parked on the shoulder, with the trunk raised to hide the light bar. The car was almost invisible! He was doing a land office business in citations.
