Message: <blockquote data-quote="bigfug" data-source="post: 4115602" data-attributes="member: 4864">My 16 year old can pick out an unmarked OCPD Traffic Enforcement vehicle, of which there are 8-10 at any given time, depending on whether they are down for mechanical reasons, or an accident. They can only run during daylight hours and very specific statutes on light placement and how many etc. Even if its a City ticket, only like $3 dollars goes to the city, so that argument holds no water anywhere. Most traffic enforcement programs are also federally or state funded, and the dept gets grant money to cover the officers time. The ones on I40 are drug interdiction units, at least if its a Tahoe. It's a joint City/County Task Force (CITCO) with OCSO and OCPD, formerly COMIT (County Mutual Interdiction Task Force) involving the DA, OCSO, and OCPD. They work 40 because of the volume of stuff that comes through there. You will see them elsewhere but they usually have a tip when doing so, like 44. I do see them a lot on 35, or 235 near Frontier City often though. The ones on the city streets are just unmarked traffic units. You can see some of the restrictions above on when and how they can run. Its usually high traffic, high accident areas during rush hour, school zones etc. It does serve a purpose because people will be wary for a while in those areas. Having a marked unit there for a day or two doesnt have the same effect becuase people will drive like an @$$ when the marked unit isnt there, but are uncertain and more wary for longer if they know unmarked and motors have been working the area.</blockquote>
