    In Minnesota?

    Cop cars are very distinct. Big white and black SUVs with guard rails and big ass lights. They look like they’re going to run you over fun. I call em intimidation transports.

      We have three different colors of Ford escapes with very discreet light bars. They look like every other fucking Ford escape on the road or whatever those stupid SUVs are. So every Karen looks like a cop and every cop looks like a Karen.

      This isn’t completely accurate. I live in South Saint Paul and some of our police have Ford Explorers with no visible light bars and dark blue lettering on black paint.

      I’ve seen state patrol make stops on 494 between the Wakota bridge and 35E in dark blue unmarked chargers.

      They’re relatively new I think but that same trend of low-profile police cars has started here now too.
