I was on the way home from work tonight and could believe what i was seeing and Aston Martin being used as a cop car with red and blues. :eek:
 
Seen a few interesting cars used for unmarked police vehicles lately including a very nicely done up Focus ST - very much non-stock (looked a bit odd with 2x 40+ yro officers in it tho).
 
It could be a Chiefs car, I work for the Fire Brigade and we have some quite nice cars in the car park which all have the sirens/lights etc.

Confiscated cars?

I wondered but in the case of the ST probably not because the body kit appeared to have been designed from the ground up to hide the blue lights. In other cases probably the so.

Also seen a gold rolls or bentley can't remember which used around south London.
 
I saw a BMW M3 CSL with carbon vented bonnet in black, car was white with lights on the roof and two plain clothes in the front last week.
 
Got undercut once by cops in a Mitsubishi Evo

No blues - think they must have just got it - The (nice policeman) came off a slip road to the left and just booted it up the inside of us all as traffic made way for oncoming traffic

Also seen a Lotus years ago.

Aston Martin seems OTT

But if these cars are confiscated as proceeds of crime - surely the cops should get them and use them
 
There is a doctor who runs an e60 M5 touring for emergency call outs.

It's on M5board:
Thanks guys for the warm welcome. I met Stormster at service station and after a chat thought, "there must be more like minded people out there," so found M5Board almost at random... so here I am. I run a small medical company (you can guess the name) in the UK supplying specialist medical services (training and equipment and so on) to anyone who works in a remote or hostile environment. Anyway, I'm a specialist pre-hospital emergency medicine doctor first and foremost, and love driving the M5.

I 'respond' on an unpaid and voluntary basis for my local ambulance service to emergency cases (as part of a local charity) where I can offer additional skills and interventions to my colleague paramedics. Typically these include serious road traffic collisions, farm accidents, industrial entrapments, major burns, paediatric emergencies, falls from height, shootings and stabbings - you get the general idea. My company provides me with the M5 in which to respond. I've had the requisite driver training (at various times from police, fire and ambulance service instructors) and drive on 'blues & twos.' Clearly there is particular responsibility driving on blue lights and you might be surprised at how low my top speeds are. On the other hand, what an awesome car for safe overtakes!

My 'M' button is my '999' button and I get 9.6 miles per gallon driving to emergencies.

When I'm at scene, I often end up accompanying the casualty(ies) to hospital in the ambulance. I then need to get someone from the emergency services to drive my car to hospital. Funnily enough, since I've had the M5, I've not struggled to find a volunteer.

The vehicle livery was designed by me and, yes, I did take particular care to protect the M5 badge!
