Halton's Finest "taxi" Service
#1
I was just forwarding this from a friend.

[Image: cabby1.jpg]

Would you pull over for this cabby?

I would seriosly think that I wouldn't.....This is a gray area.......
This also makes me paranoid...Its not like I drive like a jack ass but I already slow down whenever I see a regular Crown Vic....

The number on top of the sign is an actual police departement phone number.
We should just start calling them and ordering taxi rides. :lol:

I lived in Oakville for 19 years and I can confirm that the phone # is the police department. Not sure if I would pull over for a taxi with red flashing lights though. Sneaky for sure.

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.
Be the change you want to see in this world.

Frankly I'm not sure how I feel about this ... using unmarked cars (even a-typical models) is one thing ... but it's entirely different IMO to actively disquise a police vehicle to make it look like something else ... kind of like putting a cop in a UPS delivery guy's uniform.

If the police purposely make their vehicles look like anything but a police vehicle, how could they dispute a defense claim in court that went something like "I didn't stop for that car because I was convinced by the cars appearance that they weren't the police."

thats what I thought when I saw the two chevy savanna's with the plumbing equipment on the roofs, if you are in peel keep an eye out for a black one with dark tinted windows and white tubes on the roof, and the other is silver with the same things on the roof.

I wonder if the Cabbie cop is middle eastern too LOL...This is wrong so wrong they shouldn't be allowed to do this.

Abit off topic but the other day I was on Winston churchill and 401, I see this sweet looking all blacked out SVT stang...I catch up to it at the red light to get a better look, who is driving it a F**king peel region cop and he is a member of SVTOA. He must of been going to work or home. The car sounds so nice with the charger spoiling up. This stang was not a undercover cop car but a cops personal car damn, must say he has good taste.
