I was on my way to bed and only was awake enough to read your first post so I was referring to the rest of your thread. Usually people use tl;dr when someone posts a huge wall of text that is either interesting or just too long. But it can be used in other situations as well, like this one.

gotcha, thx

I could imagine many situations where someone could have used the help of an officer in an unmarked car but didn't get it because they were unaware of their presence. It comes down to which one helps the populace more, and unfortunately I don't think unmarked cars accomplish that.

I agree they serve a purpose, but I believe more deterrence via presence is greater then more deterrence via fines.
