    If you are up out, of the line of vision, it brings stealth to a new level.

    But it is cool for the government to release top secret information and for local cops to use modern tech to track/monitor your cell phone without a warrant causing them to attend classes in parallel case reconstruction? Just wondering.

    Ooook... let's stay on topic here. Were talking about tacoma police vehicles, not your views and opinions on the wrongdoings of police in general.

    I can tell you from personal experience, that they won’t catch many criminals if they try and chase them in that SR utility, LOL

    Does anyone know the biggest tire you can run on that rig without rubbing?

    I can tell you from personal experience, with a couple well-placed, discreet vehicles the chase isn't necessary. :)

    I always thought this would make a good stake-out or surveillance van. I am not in law enforcement though, so what do I know? :notsure:

    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    I've seen some random normal vehicles around memphis suddenly flash blue lights and stop people. Like 10-20 year old sedans and minivans. Totally unmarked. Seriously blend right in. Once saw an old beat up work van with ladder on its rack had a car pulled over and an officer got out wearing tactical gear beyond what you normally see at a traffic stop.

    Not all police wrongdoings are accomplished by ALL police, so the point is moot. Back to the regularly scheduled program.

    They needed a new one when they realized they made a huge mistake.

    You'd put LEDs all over it and ruin the "low visibility" profile of it though :D

    That happens in my area too. Nothing like seeing a rusted out 1990's Corolla with flaking paint having someone pulled over lol.

    Manassas, VA used to have a red 1990's F-350 dually they would pull people over in all the time like 8 years ago. Made me do a double take every time they sniped someone on rt 234 in that thing.

    People actually pull over for them?

    I would never, they'd need to call a marked unit.
