TrailBlazer SS State Trooper?

[appstategrl]

Ok on my way back from Rock Hill, SC a couple of weeks ago I was around 30 miles south of Asheville on I26. I passed a state trooper who had someone pulled over. Tennessee law is "pull over into other lane when passing stopped emergency vehicle" so of course I pull over by habit. I could only get into a farther lane position so I slowed to around 30 MPH. I looked at the car pulled over and then at the trooper, like most nosy people. I almost broke my neck and killed my brakes... A TRAILBLAZER SS STATE TROOPER?!?!:hail: So I kept looking as I drove (it was a straight-way so no worries). I immediately txt a few people on here (littlew2, MYBLK05LT, tayap79, jmaynard1986) who did NOT believe me:duh:. Well, it's true. North Carolina now has at least one known black SS state trooper. It was a beautiful site. I wanted to turn around and take a picture, but the last state trooper, not naming any names (D.W. Hollars) was a real :x. Sooooo, I didn't do that. Just wanting to share this glorious and not so good news. I am kinda hyped that they finally decided that an SS can be used as a good chaser, but now it sucks cause I know I can't get away, haha. So has anyone else ever seen one???

My grade 12 french teacher dropped that same multi-tasking line on me once. I shot her down so fast. Here was my reply (in french of course): "You're right, women can multi task better than men. You can wash plates and glasses at the same time.":cool:

True story.

[85vette]

My agency has a TB in the narcotics division, but it's not an SS.

[JordanMcSwifty]

Thats not beautiful, thats horrible!
Not that my Voy is fast enough to get away from a crown vic....
Or anything for that matter...
Scary ****. Davie cops have a c5 Corvette and the lights are hard to see from the front because they are on the back of the roof and barely go over. Now that is really scary.

[BLAZEN03]

Over hear naer downtown LA I see SS Camaros, Chargers, & Tahoes but no SS TB's....Let's keep it that way. We need more highspeed chases on tv.:laugh:

Haha, not cool, but I usually dnt play the "woman" card. I kinda hate that...:nono:. But I know a little french, haha, more than I know spanish...:weird:

It was a beautiful thing for me to see... considering I wasn't driving that first generation green eclipse he had pulled over.

Haha, but now you can say, hey my truck COULD do that... (if it was an SS):worried:

She always bashed us. She was a closet feminist I think.

[Blulytes]

awesome... i would have loved to see the light package on that thing.

[appstategrl]

Eh, our spanish teacher was an idiot. I would talk french to him and he would just tell me how good I was doing, haha, wtf???

awesome... i would have loved to see the light package on that thing.

It had the slim-line lights on the roof and strobes in the reverse lights and grille. Not a major set up really...:no:

Either way, it was a freakin trooper TBSS!! That's just plain awesome!:drool

I know right, OMG!!! Do you remember the txt??? I was spazzing out bout that thing, :drool.

[ImpalaSSpeed96]

Wow, thats pretty cool!

[junehhan]

I'd hate to see what fuel bill that that particular police department has to face with a TBSS in the fleet. The local Sherrifs around here do use regular TB's, Explorors, and even a Tahoe in addition to their Crown Vics

[85vette]

I'm sure they don't mind, they figure you're (the taxpayers) paying for it!:yes:

Hahahaha!!!!! j/k. Thats mean:D

[Fudge]

The city of Charlotttetown in my province has several Envoys in their department. I'm heading in there this afternoon, I'll see if I can scam some pics. They look sharp.:undecided

[CrimePaysVideo]

if they are affording TBSS they are making wayyy to much money off of us.

[Aukland]

lol, nothin' new about that:bonk:

[junehhan]

lol, nothin' new about that:bonk:

Maybe they were repo's or confiscated vehicles? If gas prices keep going up like this though, we'll reach a point where our cops will start driving those compact cars like they do in Europe :laugh:

Maybe they'll even get those little stop signs that they can pull out like the cops in some parts of Europe have.

Has anyone been able to get a picture of this TBSS cop cruiser yet?

[Crummy]

Vid anyone?

[06SS2NV]

I'm from SC and I also drive a TBSS....It could be possible that the vehicle was seized from drug dealers, rather that auction the vehicle off they decided to keep it....... Just my thoughts :yes:

Absolutely! Law enforcement agencies do this every day. The Florida Highway Patrol even had a 1984(?) Corvette that it seized in their fleet at one time. It was even in Car Craft or Hot Rod magazine!

[06SS2NV]

The Sheriff Dept in my town seized an Acura Legend used in a Bank Robbery. They used it for traffic patrols, they busted so many people for speeding because no one expected for that type of car to be used. Cops are pretty crafty these days. :thumbsup:

I like comment #4 under the video. Talking about having a kid in a $4000 mustang outrun it. :laugh:

[kap64]

I live in the Eastern part of NC and they like to use the Tahoes around here. Some are silver over black and others are black over silver. There are also at least two unmarked Suburbans out here too.

[Diablo03]

found out the hard way that IL has a green 95 Mustang GT

I saw a blue mustang gt pull over a camaro once. and if you think thats crazy, i even saw a WS6 pull over some car! a WS6!! isn't that crazy?!?!

[bigbadbowtie088]

I saw on speeders the other night a cop that was assigned traffic and he was driving a H2! :weird:

A friend of mine told me he was pulled over by a cop in an unmarked Toyota Corolla. Now that's just messed up!

[runit15]

ok well how about this highway patrol camaro no big deal right? top speed 210 m.p.h. in a camaro! :eek::weird::eek: im pretty much family with the mechanics in my neck of the woods and they work on all the POPO cars and he said this is the only car hes scared of.

[DucatiSS]

Have you asked him to turn in his "Man Card" yet? I certainly hope nobody took pictures.. :laugh:

[runit15]

oh and if i was a cop heck yeah used civic all the way never see me comin

[blktbz]

I'd only pull over for a Crown Vic or Impala up here. It's to easy for some nutjob to throw blue and reds on their visors and start causing serious problems.

[Devilz311]

Few departments near me are going with Chargers. My department bought 10 new Ford Exploders, but we're down to 8 now ( 2 accidents, one of them a rollover :eek:) All of them being marked patrol vehicles... I'd be a little weary of pulling over for a Camry with flashing lights...

[wardak33]

the mall here (woodfield mall) uses TB's as their security cars and they have lights and everything. i'll try to get pictures tomorrow!

[runit15]

we got a silver unmarked mercury meruader where i live im nervous cause you never know whats next

[Diablo03]

there are lots of issues with this happening and people getting raped or killed....just do a google search

it's kinda scary actually

[runit15]

i talked to cop one time and he said that you can drive slowly and pull over in the first we lighted area if its night. he said the cop would be pissed but if he didnt understand u could take it to the court house.

[Diablo03]

i saw a maroon ford taurus pull someone over today.....it had a visor light (R/B) and clear strobe in the turn signals?????

Totally unmarked....I'm still not sure it was a real cop

there's a number of things you can do. you can call 911 if you aren't sure, or when pulled over and you are not sure, you can ask to see the badge before he/she says anything. if it looks fake, ask them to call a Sargent or another responding officer.

[runit15]

i would not advise pulling your gat and sayin prove it or ill shoot. not the best idea. :dielaugh::dielaugh::dielaugh:

[RGBvsCMYK]

wow wish they had those around here

[Avalanche LTZ]

Theres a white one here...Or atleast a Trailblazer.

[lilzip24]

the county police in Gwinnett down here have 2 silver 2006 Durangos and 2 silver 08 Accords that they like to park on the side of the road and hit ya with the radar gun

[Chickenhawk]

Pulling over in the first well-lit area is not really the best advice because if they really ARE the police, they need you to pull over as soon as it is safe. Just keep a few things in mind:

- Unmarked units make traffic stops but plainclothes officers almost NEVER make traffic stops. Pull over as soon as you can do it safely, but if the officer in the unmarked unit is not in uniform, call 911 immediately, lock the doors and without rolling down your window even a crack, ask to see their badge AND warrant card. (Badges can be faked, but every officer has a badge PLUS a "warrant card," which is a police ID card with their picture on it.)

- There are a variety of specialized vehicles used in law enforcement. Large SUVs are great for K9 units; common nondescript vehicles that can still travel fast such as the Trailblazer are perfect for street crime/undercover/stolen auto unit officers; very fast sports cars and specialty vehicles such as the Trailblazer SS are good for interstate patrol, and almost anything interesting can be found in community policing and school programs.

- There are only four vehicles manufactured today that are approved and rated as full-spectrum police vehicles, which means that are rated by their manufacturers for pursuit: the 2009 Dodge Charger, the 2009 Chevrolet Impala, the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe 2wd, and the 2009 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. This means that almost anything can pull you over for a traffic stop, but there will be a marked unit very close in case a pursuit entails.

The Trailblazer SS may be great for pulling over vehicles on the interstate and for coming up very fast behind unsuspecting drivers, but if the vehicle stop goes bad, the Trailblazer would have to back off and leave it for a marked and rated unit.

This is why Trailblazers are used a lot for specialized and undercover work and for fire departments but because they are not rated for pursuits, they will always be a rarity on the highway. (Which, by the way, is too bad. The 2wd Tahoe is VERY popular as a police cruiser right now and I think GM could have extended the life of the TB with some chassis changes and turned it into a great police cruiser quite easily.)

Hey thats the Woodward Dream Cruise! I hope God answers Detroit's prayers or that maybe the last one of those.


I know most of the USA blames us for being overpaid, building crappy cars, lacking technologies, ect but its not true. We Detroiters work really hard to make nice things that people need and want. In a matter of weeks people went from cadillac trucks to priuses and insights because all the movie and TV stars did. And if you bought a Hummer, as of march 2006, you became an eco terrorist. Thats not our fault. Our property values have dropped +40 percent, we cant really sell and move out of state to find work. :(

Please help us.
