I don't think that is considered entrapment just because they have a blacked out z06. It depends what they do to create a entrapment situation. But if some ricer kid does a burnout next to this z06 then that is just grounds for a nice ticket/impounded car/arrest.

Oh man. I've got stories but they're not forum friendly....

Don't forget that fast acceleration from 0 mph to speed limit is ground for a ticket called "exhibitionism"

wear your trenchcoat!

indeed its just ignorant people who don't watch the news that see a black z06 flying up beside them and then revving and taking off to get you to race that think its entrapment. now if you are a highschool kid who has something to prove because you have a small wiener then go ahead and get a ticket. i just smile and wave because yes his z06 is built and faster but i enjoy my Z more

Either that police department wrote up a ton of tickets or the taxpayers are getting hosed. I see no reason for the police to have a Z06. That money could have went to any number of better causes.

Alot of those "specialty" police cars are obtained as a result of illegal activities of others etc......They keep them and use them for undercover use!

Ah. Well, it would still fetch a pretty penny.

Cops suck. I hate em! I got pulled over by an old high school friend for out of date tags (in a company car), and what do you know I got a ticket. BTW this is the same friend that would smoke w@@d with us at parties after the ball games! Lol!!

Many unique cop cars are impound cars they turn into cop cars.
Though really, in many places they need those cars. Houston has been stepping up its ghost cars with upgrades to combat street racers. Factory V8 is nice, but a few bolt ons and it gives the cop that extra advantage against street racers who run.

I agree with the imounded car statemets - The only force (I know of) that bought fast cars (V8 camaros) was the Florida HP. I have read many stories of impounded street racer or drug cars being turned into undercover cars and it cost the tax payers little or nothing.

yeah in houston they use impounded vehicles as bait cars. you race em and their buddy is right around the bend......

********!!!!
