Any LE agency can and do use "plain plates" on their cars; primarily on undercover investigative units and some administrative units. DPS uses a special custom exempt "Highway Patrol" license plate on their black and whites. HP staff, supervisors, and criminal LE have plain plates on their units.carlson1 wrote:Jasonw560 wrote:Copcars have the "Texas Exempt" plates on them.
Not all of them. There are several State Leo unmarked that do not use exempt plates.

Re: Odd Police Encounter
Are you sure it was a legit LEO? Here in the Dallas area we've had several incidents of LEO look-a-likes making traffic stops. At least one was arrested after being found driving an older (former Police) Crown Vic equipped with red and blue lights. Suspect had a police looking uniform with generic patches, handcuffs, etc.
