Tinted CHP car. Bay Area
I got passed py a fully stickered, black and white interceptor. Windows were all blacked out, and the hood had a killer louver job on it.
Is this some sort of a demonstrator?? I also think its unfair he gets tint and I don't, but whatever. Was a sick looking ride, and I doubt it was a private car, as there was a standard intercepter behind it. This was on 880 around Oakland. What was it?? So

Personally, I rarely ever wrote tickets for tinted windows over the years because I think in SoCal it just gets too darn hot in the car without tint. The law needs to be changed to allow tint to safe levels. Limo tint on driver and passenger windows, naw....too dark, but a light tint helps keep the car cool and doesn't impact visibility inor out. Just my $0.02 worth.

Had them bring prisoners direct from Pelican Bay by aircraft to a local airport, then by CHP radio car to the court on a couple of cases. Probably the exception rather than the norm.

We refer to them as a PCF or a SMPV depending on how they were equipped. and what they were designated to target for enforcement. SMPV- specially marked patrol vehicle or PCF - Primary Collision Factor car. They are meant to target PCF violations. Ie speeding, following too closely, unsafe lane changes. At my office they call it the "ghost" or "Casper".
The black and white with tinted rear windows was a K-9. Would have seen the malinois behind the window if not for the tint. |

I need to find a new spot to shoot radar. And it is not hiding, I have to park off the roadway as not to be a road hazard. And she was only a niece by marriage. ;-)

Close. They're going with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility because the sedan is too small for their needs.

I drive a lot for work. I've seen may CHP suv's and PU trucks with no markings and tinted windows.
The only hint you have is the red/blue on the rear view and lower right rear window. They seem to do a good business and generating much revenue on Hwy4 between Brentwood to Pinole. It appears that are many young adults in thousands dollar specials that think Hwy4 is a Nascar track. -g

You think it's not fair that a GOVERNMENT OWNED vehicle has tinted windows???? Do you remember the old California Government owned vehicle license plates? They used to have a big "E" followed by the plate number. That "E" stood for "EXEMPT." Or like we used to joke, "Excuse me." Just remember, that "exempt" status still exists on governement owned vehicles. Technically, it really means exempt from paying registration fees...... Oh no, I shouldn't have told you that fact. Now you're gonna hate even more! Just forget the whole thing........

If the vehicles primary duty is traffic enforcement, the vehicle must be marked. I drove an unmarked unit for years and wrote tickets from time to time, but my primary duty wasn't traffic enforcement. Tickets are 100% valid. I had people fight them on that grounds, but never lost one in court.
CHP has a lot of assignments where their primary duty is NOT traffic enforcement.

Where the line is crossed, however, is if the officer issues multiple citations from the vehicle using radar or is observed watching traffic in order to issue citations -- instead of working his follow-up investigation or "other" duty. |

My mind flashes back to police work in the 70's when it was common for agencies to have a seal on the shotgun that was broken when you chambered a round. Deploying a shotgun without jacking a round in the chamber results in just having a bulky club in your hand. When I was with Glendora PD you had to write a memo to the chief any time the seal was broken on the shotgun. Because of that, guys were hesitant to deploy it when appropriate and lost their familiarity with the weapon. That same policy had an impact on the outcome of the CHP Newhall shooting where four CHP officers were killed. In the below video, one of the officers comments about the seal on the shotgun. This shooting happened in 1970. Glendora PD still had a similar policy when I joined them in 1977. Some agencies are slow learners. http://j59.video2.blip.tv/8430004874...Tragedy898.m4v This video was a reenactment by LASD for training. I knew a couple of the deputies in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX3ux...e_gdata_player

If an officer needs to get more familiar with any weapon I would think training should be done before the need to deploy such a firearm on duty. I think it was an option but my idea is it is a good idea when looking at protection for the officer and protection from a would be thief looking to steal a gun. If they wanted Im sure they could program multiple codes for a non-alert release to allow removal for cleaning, inspection, ammo checks etc.

Everyone gets trained initially, and scheduled in service training. We carried Ithica Model 37 shotguns. At the start of every shift the barrel was removed, the firing pin checked, reassembled and function tested before loading up and hitting the field. Frequent handling makes you more familiar with your equipment. Seals on guns or alarms on locks means the guns only come out as a last resort and perishable skills diminish. When the budget gets tight, in service training is one of the first things to get cut by the administration.
