Unmarked Police Car Responding, Vincent St, 15 Sept 09

An unmarked NZP Commodore wagon responding to Auckland Central Police station, presumably for an Armed Offenders Squad callout.
This car has grille-mounted red-n-blues and wheel covers, a departure from the usual tell-tale dash-mount configuration and bare steel rims...

I saw an unmarked Holden Crewman (with a canopy on the back) that had front dash lights that I have never seen before. They had the usual Red and blue in the center of the dash, and also on the right side of the window a blue one on top of a red one

ie:

Blue

Red

@ExtremeFireRisk Yeah, the CVIU units have those stacked lights on the driver's side, so they can be seen by the trucks they pull over.

Nice clip. That's a true unmarked police car, you would never suspect it lol. I've seen a few good ones around here. One was a civilian crown vic that was colored teal with standard rims. Then there was a red crossover SUV. Didn't know it was a cop until he put his red/blue strobes on and pulled someone over. The only way to ID them was the dark blue "Official" plates they use instead of the civilian plates which are white with blue/yellow stripes (Pennsylvania).

@mattbjrs Haha true! The Holden Commodore is both the best-selling passenger car and the Crown Vic of Down Under, so they're all suspect...

There are a few good ones around though, I've seen people pulled over by unmarked Mazda 6, Honda Accord, Nissan Maxima, BMW motorbike and even a Toyota Hiace staff van. The coolest was probably the Nissan Silvia/200SX visible at 2:07 in the video "Cameraman first on scene stolen car crashes and burns" by geoffmackley.

i can no idear they do that in there unmarked cars they use to do it in there older style holden commodores but they were the marked ones

[thekiwicanuck]

@Jackcc5 Yeah I've seen several new unmarks lit in this way, it used to be the standard on all marked and unmarked cars back when they were using the little halogens. There's still a couple of those old (VX) unmarked cars around Central as well..

@FalloutZombie2010 Not quite, its a 3.8L V6 RWD station wagon.

I guess the rear end does look a bit like an old Caravan, but this would smoke any minivan...
