I think the OPP driving in unmarked ghost cars is counter to road safety...let alone as some have suggested lessening road safety as a driver has no way to tell if the car pulling them over is a legit Law Enforcement vehicle.
But what could possibly be the purpose of the CO requiring a ghost truck?
Is law enforcement that bad that it must be hidden?

The term the CO's use is "STEALTH" vehicle. THis is the vehicle that is black that has Black Lettering. Not for under cover work.

The OP seems like a little bit of a trolling expedition to me

The more out there the better IMO . I don't care if they are invisible.

I have no issue with unmarked vehicles and stealth work. If they are digging up information about illegal activity going on within a location by undercover work and catching poachers then that's one up for the various game and fish species we all enjoy hunting each year.

Goes along the lines Takes a thief to catch a thief. As in under cover cops in drug and gang enforcement its a tool to uncover illegal activities. You may have not seem a CO but that plain clothes fisherman eyeing you may have been one. Another saying A measure of a man is what he does when no one is looking. Hence illegal activities occur even by otherwise honest people when no ones looking.

This is the problem with some people. Lack of person responsibility. That fact that they got penalized wasn't an unmarked car it was you did something illegal. Its not a cash grab...If you don't want to pay don't do the crime in the first place.

A little off topic here but MNRF, is forestry not a natural resource? Why do they need to mention it?

I watched an undercover CO on the saugeen last fall. He really didn't know how to steelhead but the three clowns stuffing fish in the bush behind them sure did. Unfortunately a CO up on the hill had parked a "marked" unit and when some of the poachers buddies left the river a text message quickly flew back to the culprits ............ a lot of nice rainbows rotted in the bush that day. So that's a situation where the marked unit wasn't a good idea at all. Nice to see a plainclothes CO though!
