They'll probably call for a unit that can pursue you, or visit you at home later.

^^ Pretty much the above.
There is a difference between stopping a vehicle from a police vehicle (a compliant stop) and stopping vehicles when you are stood by the roadside. My reference was vehicle to vehicle only
No, you must be a constable, and you must be in uniform.

What? Surely not?
It's been years since Volvo did a 2.3 T5 V70. The current model V70 doesn't even feature a 2.3 litre engine in the lineup nor a T5 - it's a 6 cylinder T6 now and it's not particularly quick, either.
From what I can see its been nearly 9 years since there was a 2.3 T5.
It's true that the 2.3 T5 will do 155mph but unless the cops have taken delivery of a fleet of W reg cars how is it the weapon of choice?
I do hope your police knowledge isn't coming from 8 year old re-runs of police camera action Burnsey

none of the police forces round here have got the new shape V70
they've all got the old 07 plate ones with the 2.5 T5.
Either that or the new 09 cars are diesel BMWs. West yorkshire police appear to have bought a boatload of 5 series estates and X5s to replace their volvos and Range Rovers and appear to be phasing them out with BMs.

i know west yorkshire police still have some of the old shape vectra fast response vehicles running around on 05 plates
thats over 4 years old !
i thought they were all gone after 3 year lease. Id love to know more about what they choose, and why, and for how long etc.. but nothing appears to be on-line.
There is a press release from west yorks police about the new delivery of astras they've taken that ive spotted about with LED lightbars. But nothing else about why they now appear to favour BMWs for traffic.
The workshop is in the industrial estate 5 mins down the road, always fun to peek inside when the doors are open and see whats going on. Reckon i should pop in and ask ? lol

I know north yorkshire police have their Imprezas fitted with the PPP amongst other things, consists of upgraded exhaust, fuel pump and factory remap taking power to over 300bhp.
I know what you're saying.
But we already know they're running X5s for example. Bit hard to hide them ! was more interested in why they chose what they did etc..

i can think of a very good reason why they don't tell the public what cars they're running

I thought it was the V6 CDTi engine but I guess its not???In York they are running the Imprezas! They have some presence when in police livery, and sound amazing!
