As many of you may know, Maryland has started their "SPEED SAFE" program which involves minivans on the side of the road which snaps pics of you and fines you in the mail.
I have seen grey ones and white ones.. I snapped pics.. They are probably run by TMC and they have the standard stainless steel looking coiled 800Mhz county trunked antenna on the top. They are in uniform. By the way, that safe-speed van that i took is usually on the Walter Johnson HS side just prior to Rockledge. And, on the other side headed towards Old Georgetown Rd (both on Democracy Blvd.)
Also I saw 2 assumed to be federal vehicles on 2 occasions with the same antenna configuration...
Both crown vics, with a 800 or 900 mhz on the trunk left side facing the back of the vehicle and a VHF black whip on the right side..The UHF stainless whip is flush against the trunk sitting between the trunk and the rear glass pain. I saw 2 rectanglular concealed flashers on the back interrior.. any ideas.. The right VHF whip is hard to make out.. but if you follow the passenger sight tail light along the seam towards the front you will see.. I didn't wanna stick around ... ;p
pics are..
