NYSP Slicktop New Warning Lights

[t22films]

@zCuRiouSHD thats crap i have seen them myself!

[KFDCAR91]

What kind of arrow stick is that? I like the random pattern that is being used?

[KenneWilleJ1102]

blue lights now yay

[skateskool100]

why is there a fire truck there?

[xfirefighter484x]

@skateskool100 That is a fire engine (not truck, there is a difference) and it was there because this was the scene of a motor vehicle collision.

[skateskool100]

@xfirefighter484x Ok. I was a little confused because here in Bucks County, we have numerous Engines but we here call them trucks.

[xfirefighter484x]

@skateskool100 'Round these parts a "truck" is an aerial device, engines have a pump and water.

[commandercody5011]

love the nysp

[Cp14637]

that's nothing compared to wappingers falls police they got 3 dodge chargers, 2 tahoes, and a crown vic all decked out with led's and they never heard the word too little they got so many lights it's like the 4th of July

[xfirefighter484x]

@Cp14637 Actually, if memory serves me correctly, they only have 1 Charger, not 3, and I am WELL aware of their Crown Vic's, I helped outfit the 2 newest ones! ;-)

[mortie806]

at any cost there to bright there blinding

[wannabenj]

Thats pretty cool.The Troopers patrol some of the most remote areas and they need all the lights they can get.

[xfirefighter484x]

@fartman718 Hahaha, how is it police impersonation? This is a NYSP Cruiser! Dumbass...

[NYPD115]

@fartman718 your a fucking idiot

[cerulli732]

Wow im suprised they are now useing those colors o n the back

[mujjuman]

dont mess with NYSP

[fromthe209]

fuck pigs i wish death to them!

[lilyonrocks]

@fromthe209 You're an idiot.

[fromthe209]

@lilyonrocks you are a dumbfuck

[watchdog68]

Looks like the trooper pulled over a cop.

[NY10909]

so this is where all our tax money goes.. 30 un-needed lights on every trooper vehicle..

[NYSP22DAVID]

@NY10909

What are you talking about. There are three light units in the back of the vehicle, nowhere near the thirty you claim there are. That's not overkill, especially when cars are coming at you at 75mph on the highway. Also, that lighting package (including the front) probably comes to around the same cost as putting one Liberty lightbar on top of the car.

[NY10909]

@NYSP22DAVID it was sarcasm.. take a chill pill

[ryanmillerpimpslaps]

i just sat in one of these along with the NYSP Tahoe at the Erie county fair and it was sick. For me Tahoe>Slicktop.

[coconuts830]

d.i.s.c.o.

[Oscuro1987]

Thanks god i'm not epileptic !!!!!

[SubaruB4RSK]

@Oscuro1987

I said the same in other YT videos some like in NYS as you see have 8 friken lights.. in the daytime it's not so bad but at night on local roads it's hard to follow where I'm going.

Like I said in the other videos amazing no one has had a epileptic seizure yet

[edsillusion]

Thats just extremely sad! Id love that on my christmas tree or on the roof of my house! I would fucking hate to be stuck driving behind that if i had epilepsy!!

[mechanic1108]

NYSP among other duties enforce speed on local byways and highways. Most of these roads are not publicly lit. Warning lights such as these are absolutely necessary for the safety of the trooper, subject stopped, and forward moving traffic.

[brummiepride]

overkill on the light lol police disco going on there

[xfirefighter484x]

Well then I guess luckily for you, you don't have to drive it, huh?

[Penndemic]

@xfirefighter484x I've worked for a police department and fire department. Civilians simply don't understand the meaning of "too much lights", since it always seems for us that there aren't enough. We could have the entire car full of LED's and most of the time it seems civilians don't even notice you.

[xfirefighter484x]

@Penndemic Well hopefully you do not think that I felt there were too many lights on there. I will say that there are SOME agencies out there that DO put TOO MANY LED lights on their vehicles, yes, I have seen it and didn't think it was possible either lol!!

That said, I personally think that the perfect set-up should have both strobe, AND LED's, not one or the other.

[NC403Firefighter]

@brummiepride: What's is overkill? Two dual talons, traffic advisor, and two strobes? How is that overkill

[brummiepride]

it is too me as our old bill over here normally only have the lightbar on the roof of the car

[NYSP22DAVID]

@brummiepride

With the amount of people running into the back of police vehicles, nothing is overkill.

[Gronad]

@brummiepride . . . yeah i guess it is lucky for you that you don't have to drive it cause then you'd probably have to sit next to this fatass slimeball firefighter484 and listen to his wiseass remarks every time you made a statement he didn't like.. arrogant fucks.. wonder why people can't stand police.

[Son37Lumiere]

@brummiepride

Two dual LED units and an arrowstick is overkill? Not really.

[rescuesquadmj]

is that an east greenbush police unit in front

[yasinswat]

looks like a disco car .. PARTYYPEOOPLEEEE

[officer1983]

Gotta love the typical youtubers on here......Anyways, in NY you are allowed to have blue lights in the back only, along with any other color combination you want. In the front, Police vehicles are only permitted to have red or clear/white. I should know, I live and work in this State. You are also allowed to have unmarked vehicles in this State, so pull over and stop believing what the news tells you! The NYSP are the only Agency not "permitted" to have unmarks as normal Patrol Vehicles.

[TheBoogyMan88]

@officer1983 Do u happen to kno why blue is only permitted on the back in NY? Ive always been curious about that.

[Lakeland88]

If this in New York, don't all LEO vehicles run all red and no blues? I know some states run all blue. Some run all red like NY and some run blue, red, amber. Did they redo the NY style of all reds and are going over to multi color? I love that slick top by the way. Good video!

[xfirefighter484x]

No blues in the front. The legal colors for Police in the front are red and white.

[yootchmyster]

no NY doesn't run all red, they pass a law like a year or two ago, they are allow to blue led in the rear, and have red, white in front.

[evolutioninnyc]

@Lakeland88

we run both now blue and red... they let some new law pass about that.

[lilred36781]

@evolutioninnyc in NY LEos are requriced to have at lest one blue "filter" in the rear cuz blue is better seen at Night b most have half the rear blue Fulton has Red and blue light bars the oswego county sheiffs have the left side rear of there bars blue

[xfirefighter484x]

@lilred36781 Not required, but it is legal.

[Lightbarsandmore]

whelen talon's on top

[mikefletcher128]

There are several reasons to have a SLICK TOP patrol car. Most detectives have them but their cars are also unmarked so they can creep on people. Highway patrol and traffic units use them so they can hide and not be seen as easily as cars with light bars on top. And other agencies now use the slick top look because it saves gas mileage up to 6-8% over not having the light bars.

[Dudtz]

Are they too cheap to put a lightbar on?

Any side flashers,how is somone going too see them at an intersection?

With those new shiny led light bars that have no colour filter on them,how are people supposed to tell if the person is a cop when the light is off?

[xfirefighter484x]

To help identify these units, they have written, in large, reflective letters "NEW YORK STATE POLICE", and have the NYSP emblem on them.

As far as side warning, I don't have the answer to that. Maybe you should ask the NYSP that, of which I am not a member.

The LED lightbars, DO in fact have colored lenses. Besides, what difference would it make if the lights are off, what color the lenses are?

[Dudtz]

Not these led specifically,those new ones that have the coloured led,but not lens.

[xfirefighter484x]

IT might vary from location to location, but all of the new LED lightbars on all NYSP vehicles I have seen, have colored lenses.

[Dudtz]

It may help identify what they are if the lenses are coloured.

[live4nypd]

thts the point...its a low profile car.

[Dudtz]

Which is?

[live4nypd]

A low profile car is usually ment for highway patrol so ppl dont see them if there racing and things like tht...they also use them in towns to...but the low profile cars r usually for detectives but this 1 has ALOT of lights so idk about this car...

[Dudtz]

But,wouldn't there be allot of people less likely to pull over cause of the lack of a light bar and the car not looking so police and genuine?

[live4nypd]

no they can still pull ppl over because of all the light in the rear deck and front deck....

[Dudtz]

I'm not saying they can't,but people may mistake them for being fake cops,some sort of police identifying decals/paint,and/or light bar probably would help in distinguising between real and fake cop.

[live4nypd]

ya...they have all the lights and they are always a certain color and if a cop passes him and its a fake he will arrest him...some ways of knowing are....usually tinted windows,u can see the lights and possibly the computer in the car,if the windows arent tinted then they u cood see the officers uniform inside.

[obmax1212]

How could they mistake them for being anything but real? Those cars are highly visible, believe me I see them on a regular basis. They are fully marked and the troopers are in uniform. I can't see how anyone would have a valid argument that they believed them to be fake officers.

[Dudtz]

If they don't have any markings on the front,it could look like anybody's Crown Vic.

[obmax1212]

Most police cars don't have markings on the front, so what's the difference?

[Dudtz]

Well,there are some that have government plates,police/paint decals,and/or roof lightbar.

[obmax1212]

There are some, but not all. Lightbars today can be very difficult to see, and that is no guarantee of authenticity as anyone could buy one of them as well. That particular car, by the way, has standard SP plates on it. There really is no excuse for not stopping for a marked patrol car.

[Dudtz]

Well,a lightbar with lenses in police colours make it more difficult to hide from real cops.

[live4nypd]

and also some cars actually have there dept. on the side and soem dont.

[nerdlydood]

in Virginia you can tell whether it's real or not for a few reasons: If he has only red lights and says he's a cop, he's lying because blue lights are required. Also you can check to see if he has a local government plate, which police vehicles must use.

[MBenzSL65]

Most slick top vehicles usually have more interior lights then the vehicles with the light bar but the interior head liner light bars are the equivilant to the roof mounted bar so, like I said, most slick tops seem to have alot of lights...

[1200bestever]

Those new LED lights are VERY bright. I drive a lot at night between LG and Plattsburgh. (very dark on this stretch) Your eyes get used to darkness for so long until you see those blinding lights when you come around a bend. You almost have to squint when you go by.

[thestressedkiwi]

why do the american cop cars have amber lights at the back as well a red and blue because in nz we dont

[xfirefighter484x]

Amber and blue are 2 of the most visible colors of the light spectrum, more visible than red.

[bosco1013]

Thats certainly noticiable. But even with that many lights, there will be one idiot who fails to see it and goes right into it.

[NYStrooper01]

that's so tru

[nerdlydood]

@bosco1013 With more and more lights you start having people run into other things because the lights distract them.

[cavy2envy]

2K62 LOL And EF in front with their outdated Rotator Vector bars.... Not for long they too will have Clear LED bars soon...

[xfirefighter484x]

Not at the rate they wreck cruisers, and have to pay to repair/replace them!

[popomobile]

where is this? looks familiar... in the rhinebeck area, maybe?

[xfirefighter484x]

Same county, about 45 minutes south!

[popomobile]

so, down past wappingers?

the scenery is definitely familiar. the front police car looks a lot like the hyde park fleet from the little bit i can see, traditional black and white.

[lumina88]

Looks like east fishkill..the light bar looks like a vector and east fishkill uses vectors

[bobtul]

more lights on that car than on a christmas tree, cool though

[jcnme27]

I had no idea that NYSP was using blue lights.

[xfirefighter484x]

Rear facing only. it is a NYS V&T law that gave provisions for it rear facing only.

[KkF00]

awesome

[vbdenny]

The four orange lights at the bottom are ugly. I would replace those with blue and red. Yellow lights get no respect.

[xfirefighter484x]

There are actually 8 Amber lights on the bottom. They are currently set to a warning pattern, but function as a traffic advisor, directing/diverting traffic.

[vbdenny]

I have to tell you from a motorists perspective, blue and red are a lot better at directing traffic than amber. To most people, amber means little other than as a cautionary signal. Either way, I appreciate your response and would be interested to see all the pattern functions at some future point. Interesting video.

[NYSP22DAVID]

Oneonta Troopers (Troop C) are upgrading to the new Whelen Liberty lights. Those things blow the halogen rotators out of the water. They are also getting the new Chevy Suburbans.

[GHOSTCOP5]

Those Talons are really good!

[fatfstaff]

thats ill

[ninjatarian58]

you don't see too many slick top nysp cars around. i like that they put blue leds in the back, at night you can see them for miles long before the red is visible

[ftam767]

hey do you have a video of the front of this cruiser or similar?

[xfirefighter484x]

NO, but I can always take one. In the front, they have the Whelen Linear 6 Mirror Beams, dual Talon (R/W) TIR3s in the grille, and headlight flasher.

I will see what I can muster up!

[oldgeser]

o ... cool?

[xfirefighter484x]

I don't know, you tell me, lol. I like the newer setup compared to their older outdated halogen lighting.

[ninjatarian58]

the lights on the nysp cars changes from troop to troop. troop e still uses halogen rotators with blue led modules built into the lightbar in the rear, when i see troop a they have slicktops and it seems that every car has different interior lights, i saw one about a week ago that had a halogen dash rotator

[stickshift964]

was this in rye?

[xfirefighter484x]

Nope.

[FutrCCFN]

Have you posted this on elightbars yet?

[xfirefighter484x]

No, not yet.

[PolizeiPaul]

Wow..

When did New York start using Red/Blue as opposed to Red/Red?

[xfirefighter484x]

NY State passed a law back in 2006, I believe, allowing Police vehicles to employ Blue as one warning color in the REAR ONLY for visibility.

Since then, NYSP has successfully done just that, and the outcome it amazing!!

[nysp2007]

No they have had blue lights on the patrol vehicles before 06. I don't know anything about the law but I just know they were using it before then.

[xfirefighter484x]

Some were, yes, but LEGALLY, they were not until 2006.

[nysp2007]

yeah I had no clue about that law. thanks

[live4nypd]

good question...ig really tht happens rarely

[Radar50]

mmmmmm...buff
