I don't have a problem with unmarked police cars. I got a ticket for 10 over on I77 just as I crossed into VA. The car was a Chevy Monte Carlo SS with mag wheels and tape stripes. That was in 1986.
Here in NC the Highway Patrol uses Dodge Chargers, Chevy Trailblazers and I hear they have some V8 Cameros. There are also a few very old Crown Vics.
The Animal Control Officer is a sworn officer in the Sheriff's department. They told me he does occasionally write a ticket and when he does they usually get a complaint that the "dogcatcher" gave me a ticket. He drives a pickup with cages in the back.
In NC you can call the Highway Patrol by dialing *HP on your cell phone. If you have a question about who is stopping you, I would make the call.
Traffic enforcement here in the Asheville area is done by SHP, the Sheriff, and APD. We have pretty good coverage.
