I think all the unmarked bib must have been on holiday for a few weeks as no sightings.
Back with a vengeance today. Failed to spot them until pretty close at their usual perch near Eastleigh on the bridge. FY14 HNU. They later passed me at a fair rate - initially had their blues on to get people out of the way and then passed without the lights on. A little further along another unmarked near the turn off towards Newbury - this one was hiding behind a sign

Spotted in Farnborough today unmarked BMW. EX64 GNJ
One way to spot these is all the ones I have seen are debadged and usually grey/black.
Attending to a Peugeot driver who I suspect had probably just run out of skill on a bend and was therefore facing the wrong way along a stretch of dual carriageway....

Of course that could be one of those cheap reversing camera kits they sell in Maplins...
That's what I thought initially plus I read somewhere a 'person' in Southampton was trying to imitate a police car. For the sake of no agro I din't overtake him in a 30 limit just in case.BIRMA said:

If you were trying to imitate a police car, surely you wouldn't imitate an unmarked one lol ? There are loads of cars with camera, dash lights etc. Most are not police. So many construction workers have private amber flashing dash lights in their cars. HantsRat said:

Actually he was imitating an unmarked car
How would this work? There is no offence of imitating an unmarked car but there is an offence of imitating a police officer. Unless he was pulling people over stating he was police then no offence of imitating police. Obviously if blue lights were fitted etc then there are different offences but I know one guy who made his vRS look like a cop car with extra aerials and dash/grille lights but they flashed amber.
