Let’s see, you have a Dodge Charger (a really aggressive-looking car) with a star and a stripe on the side, plus probably about 6 radio antennas. Yeah, that won’t attract attention.
We have them in our state. When they sit by the side of the road that distinctive tail light pattern lights it up like a Christmas tree. Also around here 90% of Chryslers are owned by City, State and Federal governments – See a Charger? it is probably a lawperson.
My next door neighbor is a MO State Highway Patrolwoman. She has one of these. I have not seen the Arkansas vehicles, but the MO Chargers are easily spotted if they are in front of you. Looking out your back window, not so much. They are the only white Chargers on the road around here though, so if you realize that, you are one step ahead. They do have a black one around here as well, but again, it’s black with white trim and easily detectable. Very nice cars though.
On a side note, it’s not ok to text and drive, yet our local Police Officers are consistently on their laptops while driving. I see them daily punching in numbers while cruising down the street.
Hey…that’s just cheating! :)
at least show us pictures
That the Trooper has a BIG smile on his/her face!!!

The “safe place” that I would pull over for one of these would be in Oklahoma.
Got snagged by one of these guys in Colorado. Sneaky…

Drive slow and safe there.

It’s allowed because they are “trained” to punch in numbers while cruising down the street. No distractions there.
