Op do you think secret police in nazi Germany was a good idea? Because that’s how you get secret police.

I mean, you’d save on uniforms if they all wore plain clothes, too, but the point of a police force is to be recognized as people who are entrusted with the legitimate use of violence on behalf of the state. If everybody is a potential undercover officer then you not only unleash widespread paranoia, but you effectively annihilate any hope of civilians placing any trust in the police’s authority.

Because it used to be that the public branch would determine the regulation for the police branch. Those days are long gone, but it’s absolutely not in the public’s interest for all police cars to be unmarked. There’s plenty of studies on it, but the short version is that you lose the deterrent effect entirely. So you just get more crime which would have literally been prevented by a paint job.

Contrary to popular belief, law enforcement and the penitentiary system are not meant to catch as many criminals as possible. The whole point is to prevent people from committing those crimes in the first place. The presence of a police car is a crime deterrent
