i'm against undercover cop cars strictly for traffic patrol. This pretty much means any kind of "spirited" driving can get you a ticket. So why don't they just make all vehicles automated by machines so you cannot control how fast your drive or the style in which you drive.
Not only that, undercover cars do not deter anything from happening in the first place......police cars should always be visible and in plain site for the public and "would-be law breakers or criminals".
Any argument FOR undercover police cars can therefore also be transferred over to an argument for undercover PEOPLE just randomly walking the city streets and riding the buses. With all the crimes happening on our TTC with ppl pushing ppl on to tracks, why don't they put undercover officers look like civilians and basically arrest anyone on the street as soon as they act a little "spirited".
The police and protection services should be here to make us feel safe and their presence should be out there in the open, not hiding around the bushes like big brother striking paranoia and fear into everyone including innocent citizens.
I'm for undercover only if it is a special operation with a specific target.
