Just watched a wreck take place on Ridgewood and Old Canton Road. Two black Suv's bearing no markings hauled ass inbound in center turn lanes on Old Canton Road with sirens blaring. SUV's unmarked. Caused one car to rear end another one was everyone was slamming their brakes. Nice job. Hope it was a real emergency.

Actually, the sirens were not the cause of the collision, tailgating, or following to close was the reason.
Tricked out, unmarked SUVs are usually state officials. Municipal and county cars must be marked by law unless used for under cover work. And of course nobody goes under cover in an all black SUV.
Expect to hear nothing about this and assume they are running for high office. Must be a big game tonight at JA.
They were chasing someone who didn't pay his water bill.
Red Lobster was having happy hour.
All State Vehicles should be marked however the Governor approves certain vehicles to be unmarked. The is an official list that he signs off on. You will never see it it’s only undercover vehicles or friends of friends. Last time I saw it there were 300 from public safety alone.
Did someone all Richie Schwartz? Easy money!

Actually, there are a number of black law enforcement vehicles on the street that, at first glance, appear to be "unmarked" but if you look close, the markings are there, they just blend in with the vehicle because the markings are of a dark gray tone.
The MBN has a fleet of unmarked cars and trucks....not usually fancy ones though.
If they are whiny and new I expect they are for the taters of the world....he gets chauffeured around to dinner daily on our dime.
You know that if the public would drive with their head removed from their a$$ and off of their phone.... “gasp” actually pay attention you’d be extremely More likely notice situations like these and be less likely in general to be involved in an accident
Mark my words, there will be a hell of an accident on Gluckstadt Rd at the Shell station caused by a Madison Sheriff Dept. SUV absolutely flying through that busy congested area.
@7:38AM. DINGDINGDING, I do believe you nailed it,thank you.
I always wondered why I sometimes see unmarked police Tahoes with lights (not roof mounted, but in the grill and windows) and antennas and everything, but they have a University of Alabama or LSU tag. Always seemed odd to me.
733, several others besides Tate. But know you can't pass up the opportunity to throw his name in the mix in a negative way every chance you get.
But wasn't him, or Phillip, or Governor -none of them would have had sirens bladting, and generally aren't speeding (in town, anyway)
There were no markings on the vehicles. I know what you mean and I've gotten pretty good at spotting those grayed out markings but these were totally black.
I guess if it had been MIB they would have pressed the "don't press that" button?
Maybe Federals. Lord knows there is enough going on in this town for Federal marshals and FBI types to stay busy.
I don't think Tate and Phil and such have blue lights, otherwise that would be exactly where I pointed my finger.
An Oxford PD car passed me today going at least 90. On 49 near Mendenhall!
I believe Feds use Red and Blue. At least the one's I've seen are lit that way.
When will u people learn? The law does not apply to law enforcement or judiciary. Do as we say, not as we do!
