WTF is wrong with the Republic of VA?

The speed cameras are on the MD side of 95 around exits 27 and above. I don't know about the VA side. If you see some solar panels on the side or center of 95, its most likely a speed camera there. They start going off when you go 12 mph over the speed limit, so 77 mph is the magic number.

I always thought the unmarked police cars had to be American cars. More things to watch out for now, yay!

Damn I didnt know that, I didnt think there were speed cameras on the highway, usually when you see signs, speed checked by aircraft, you'll see the 3 white lines that are approximately 500 ft apart, thats how aircraft calculates your average speed, from point a (1st line) to point b (2nd line) to point c (3rd line).

I know that for a fact.

There's nothing that I know of that limits PD's to buying only American cars. I think 99% of the time they do simply because they are reliable, robust, and easy to maintain. Not to mention cheap.

But when you make it into more affluent areas you're more likely to see the use of other "special" vehicles. The 335i is a good choice because literally every other car in NOVA is a BMW 3 series.

You can convert any car to an unmarked police car.

There was a member here a few months ago who was an LEO, and he was considering converting his black Nismo Z into an unmarked car.

The speed cameras on 95 were mostly there for the ICC construction. 295 now has road construction with photo enforcement.

I actually agree with this use of the cameras. Road workers get killed all the time by speeders.
