Will the Real Police Car Please Drive By

Not so much drive by but properly identify yourself for the task. There are frankly to many marked police vehicles out there. Some may find this strange coming from me, as you know I am very much an advocate for police visibility, as this is good deterrent for criminal activity.

Never the less as you all would have observed the variety of cars that have police markings, what is the problem you ask? Well these marked cars come with the expectation of services. Never the less how much real services are we expecting from the police accounts department and messenger service. Some of these cars especially those driven by civilian staff should not carry police markings or insignia.

What amplifies this matter is that many private vehicles are now also fitted with strobe lights that if one is not careful may also be mistakenly taken for police cars.
