Should we keep undercover/unmarked cops? There are many makes and models of police cars. Some police cars don’t identify as cop cars. Some have squad car, response car, public safety car and many more names. Though those ones are marked, and can pull you over, are unmarked police cars really necessary while having all those other ones?
Overall, undercover policing has been a very effective route in policing. Undercover police cars control the movement of traffic. When people know there may be a cop they tend to follow traffic laws better. When no cops are easily seen, they loosen up on the laws. Having unmarked police cars out can worry some people into obeying the laws. Many crimes tend to happen where police cars are not. Having unmarked cars can secure the area better and catch criminals. The use of unmarked cars may seem unfair, but it ensures safety for the public.
Many people do not enjoy being pulled over, especially when it is by someone who they didn’t even know was around. Unmarked cop cars blend into traffic. Unmarked cars are sometimes difficult to identify. If an unmarked car tries to pull you over some would think that it wasn’t a cop because it has no marking. Unmarked cars can lead to people impersonating the police and abduction rates increase. Some people will not end up obeying the police orders if unmarked.
Overall, I personally do not have a problem with unmarked cop cars in a small town. I think in bigger cities it could become a problem with people impersonating them. I think they help control the streets and make towns safer.
Do you think unmarked cop cars should be banned? Why or why not?
Have you ever seen an unmarked police car do anything?
Do you think people would try impersonating police and abduction rates would increase?

Good topic choice(+5) and well done Adrian!
I do not necessarily think unmarked cop cars should be banned. Sometimes I do think it is sketchy though when there are unmarked cops though. One reason why is because it would be hard to identify whether or not the person is actually a cop. I think it could get a little sketchy and abduction rates could rise.
I don't think that unmarked cop cars should be banned because they keep people from doing dumb and illegal things and make the roads safer. There are still some cons but all in all there are more pros to keep them.
I don't think that unmarked cops should be banned because they keep people from doing stuff that they might do when there are no known cops around. However some people that may neeed a cop may not know that the person is a cop if its not marked which would be a disadvantage.
I personally do not think that unmarked cop cars should be banned. I do not think we should because it is a good way of ensuring that people do the right thing and are not breaking the law even if they don't think that a cop in is the vicinity. I have seen people that have been pulled over on the side of the road by an unmarked police car.
I don't think unmarked cop cars should be banned because they're making the roads safer. Personally, I haven't seen an unmarked police car do anything. I think that some people might try to impersonate them, but I doubt a lot of people would.
I think we should get rid of unmarked cops because it is easy to get caught doing something illegal because of there no sticker car. I have been flashed by a unmarked cop but thats it, I think a lot of people get pulled over for doing someting by a unmarked cop.
I don't think we should get rid of unmarked cops cars because they are effective at what they are trying to do. I think they are very good at making the roads safer because of the fact that they are almost exactly like regular cars. Also they make roads safer because people don't want to get pulled over and they would almost never see an unmarked car.
I think we should keep unmarked cops because of their effectiveness. I think the thought of unmarked cops could keep people from doing illegal road maneuvers. I think people would try impersonating them either to scare people or commit crime easier.
I think that there are pros and cons to unmarked cop cars but personally I think there are more pros than cons. I have seen unmarked cop cars do work and they should get more credit for the work that do.
