I saw this on someone's Facebook post. Surely it's not real. Have you heard of this or seen it? Is it just Tennessee?

They also have a midnight blue and a purple one they use. The blue and purple are both 389 Pete’s but have no name or DOT numbers.

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

Florida and Texas have semi units, too.

I messed that up....

I meant to type Texas, Florida and Tennessee use semis for special enforcement and public relations duties. There may be other states, too.

Probably got seized. In my hometown they had an unmarked PT cruiser. Also used a Geo Metro decked out that they seized to do drug buys. I thought it was genius, who would think this PT or Geo is a cop rofl-2.gif

I'm surprised it's taken so long for states to use rigs for enforcement.
