As impressed as I am with VCU campus police's Dodge Magnum, the real question mark around here is a dark--most likely black--Crown Vic belonging to Richmond PD with two cans of some kind mounted horizontally on the roof.
It appears to be black, completely plain, and occupied by uniformed officers. Can't tell whether the things on the roof are steerable spotlights, some sort of radar transducers, lasers to scan your license plate for PPtax info, or what. I've only seen it in the 3rd precinct, and only at night--thus never getting a good, close look. Have seen it twice doing traffic stops, and once on another call.
A low-cost alternative to black helicopters? <g>
