post up where you've seen speed traps and cops sitting. lets try to keep it pretty current and useful, not how you saw a cop sitting in a parking lot doing paperwork 2 weeks ago.

this morning, an rpd motorcycle unit was working the section of 440 between buck jones/western.

further south where it becomes us1, cary motorcycle units were conducting a large crack down on the work area in the cary pkwy vicinity. there was an officer clocking traffic on the cary pkwy overpass, and a group of officers going out onto us1 after people.

I spotted that guy at 9:45 a.m. today.


Also spotted the notorious white Camaro on I-40 near Harrison around 10:15. Word is that car is getting retired before too much longer. Hopefully he won't get anything nearly as sneaky as a replacement. I'm planning to buy it from state surplus for the sake of irony.

2/28/2006 7:11:15 PM

^yeah, i wonder just how many tickets that car has racked up. he's been working the hell out of 40 from rtp to wade ave. for months and months. i see him at least once a week.

2/28/2006 7:41:36 PM

i got lucky after passing a bald rpd car last week, sitting under the 540 bridge on capital, also seeing more and more RPD in the brier creek area, but its the ones on atlantic and capital that run my tags on suspicion and then pull me for reason.

2/28/2006 7:54:52 PM

yesterday, cop sitting behind a bush on western just after dan allen heading toward downtown.

2/28/2006 7:57:06 PM

A few friends and I saw an unmarked police interceptor that was painted dark green... on capital

2/28/2006 8:40:10 PM

the unmarked white blazer is on avent ferry a shit ton lately.

2/28/2006 8:46:08 PM

I was about to say that there was a Cop clocking on Avent Ferry on sunday morning. Luckily though I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT COPS.

2/28/2006 9:32:12 PM

motorcycle rpd on centennial parkway today

2/28/2006 10:37:15 PM

the white unmarked camaro works up to exit 284 i believe. he stopped in the gas station right next to my work for coffee one night. was bragging about all the people that he's caught (airport blvd.)

also if your in morrisville the cops are always cruising round on their bmw's. there's 2 assigned to that area. whenever im going to work I always see them. the other day one tailed me on the r6 for quite a while .

again sorry not relevant and up to date info.

3/1/2006 12:02:37 AM

one of the morrisville bike cops is going to get creamed if he dosent leave a little more room when he turns. also, morrisville has bicycle cops that will ride down the shoulders when traffic is backed up and write tickets for expired tags or some shit. I saw them doing this last week on 54.

3/1/2006 12:08:59 AM

3/2/2006 9:57:55 AM

SP motorcycle cops patrolling cary today

3/2/2006 10:07:23 AM

3/8/2006 1:14:54 AM

^ I love people that speed on that road... its one of the biggest speed traps in Raleigh.

3/8/2006 8:55:50 AM

doubt it matters to any of you, but durham co. deputys have been out on sharon rd. and fletchers chapel rd. in durham the past few days on my way to/from work.

i imagine there will be a larger force out over the weekend looking for dui's with the acc tournament.

3/10/2006 7:42:26 PM

hp on 540 where it hits 70

3/12/2006 10:04:38 AM

rpd on western in advance auto parking lot

3/12/2006 10:44:05 AM

what time? i come through there almost every day and only see them sitting there once every 2 weeks or so. i always come through with the cruise set at 75 and i know they clock me, but they never pull me.

3/12/2006 10:47:51 AM

I've mentioned this before, but the police substation off of blue ridge(the nearest to campus) has a crown vic painted like a taxi. Maroon car with "City of Oaks Taxi Company" painted on the doors.

3/12/2006 11:09:19 AM

now thats pretty funny in a fucked up way

3/12/2006 11:38:36 AM

Evidently they have a Grand Prix doing unmarked duty currently. Saw someone pulled over by a dark late-model Grand Prix on Oberlin the other night. Sneaky, that.

Also, I imagine most people know about it, but just for the sake of completeness, cops often sit in an apartment parking lot at the bottom of the hill on Buck Jones, as you're coming from the direction of Walnut Street/Crazy Fire/etc. That's where I got my ticket in December.

3/12/2006 6:59:25 PM

on 440 outter there was the po po sitting under the Buck Jones (or is it Jones Franklin?) bridge clocking traffic going south into the construction snafu.

as if traffic needs to be slowed down there more than it already is.

3/12/2006 7:25:08 PM

someone needs to make a local website with a google map or something where you can add cop sightings and they stay up for a certain amount of time

3/12/2006 7:28:24 PM

^^^GP was probably ALE. they mostly use GP's and malibus.

that's F'd up about the taxi thing. wonder for what if anything they use it for?

3/12/2006 8:22:19 PM

440 North chick cop parked on left shoulder right before exit 10 clocking cars after the curve so you dont see her

tricky bitch

3/17/2006 2:09:51 PM

there was a burgandy impala had someone pulled over on 440 today.

Actually, If it was a GTP I think I have the supercharger off that car.

3/18/2006 8:57:53 AM

hp on wade and 40 near exit 291

3/19/2006 10:23:48 AM

camaro on 40 east near 540

3/19/2006 11:44:32 AM

so what cars do they drive?

1. crown vic
2. impala
3. blazer
4. mustang gt
5. bmw!?
6. bikes
7. ???

3/19/2006 2:06:01 PM

also ford exploders, new ones or expeditions i forget, bmw motorcycles, harley motorcycles..

it's pretty obv it's a cop all the time look for the plate, or how clean the car is. they are usually really clean.

3/19/2006 3:48:18 PM

i look for searchlights (some unmarked cars do) and "extra" lights in the rear window

but i was shocked when someone mentioned bmw

3/19/2006 4:27:32 PM

bmw motorcycle
not shocking

3/19/2006 5:49:24 PM

is there a difference here between unmarked and undercover to anyone here?

always look for
the license tag
K-9 has limo tint
lights inside rear window
laptop on dash

3/19/2006 6:53:42 PM

ive seen some undercover cars that were very very discrete, but not in this county

3/19/2006 6:55:58 PM

Another giveaway is the big ass antenna. I have never seen an unmarked car without one. Also, the sheriff's dept drives some durangos.

3/20/2006 8:21:37 PM

what about rentacops there a pain at night when u think there the real deal

3/29/2006 12:23:56 AM
