Police Interceptors????

Who and What are they. I was in the car with my girlfriend and I heard some mean sounding car around. Now we are in her car, a 93 accord, so I am not looking to race it or anything but just to see what it was. I noticed it was a Taurus SHO that sounded like it had flowmasters on it. But right under the right tailight was a sticker that said police interceptor. Are they cops? It didn't look like he any lights. What kind of authority do these guys have?

Well I don't know how they are in the States but up here in Canada they real, interceptors are the Highway police cars with modified LT1 corvette engines in Crown vics or Caprices.

It could have been but this guy was older (looked mid to late 30's) so I don't think it was. I have heard of them around here before but this was the first I have seen. The guy had a radar detector in his windshield and a personalized license plate (SHO WE) which kinda confused me. All I know is this SHO sounded mean.

As said before it was prob someone messing with the stickers, because ive noticed that the police crown vics have that police interceptor badge right under one of the taillights, as do the unmarked police cars, but ive only seen this on the crown vics.

Around here they are actually starting to use the Taurus SHO as people dont know to look for them. Also, Keep an eye out for the Mustang and Camaro Cops in the VA/MD/DC area as of late.

Here in ATL they have the SS Interceptors. Although many unmarked cars are take by drug busts and seizures. So watch out.... I have had the priviledge of catching a police SHO myself on the road but no Interceptor on the back...

Here in Richmond, VA, a friend and I were on the road on our way to a bar when 2 cars in front of us were stopped at a light and about to drag. I just kept watching because it was some stupid riced out Civic versus a red Camaro. They revved and took off then to my surprise......the Camaro turned on it's police lights and pulled the Civic over. I almost crapped my pants when that happened. That's why I don't street race anymore. I was in total shock.

It is not a law that they drive domestics...just that they buy domestics. The import scene is getting infiltrated by alot of police driving confiscated civics and whatnot.
