(Click here to view the original thread on the MassCops Message Board)

Ok saw a new one this morning....

Sparked out CVPI displaying a yellow line plate in the front (no i did not stop him and cite for 90/6.....yet)

I have seen the red and we all know about the blue but what the hell is yellow for, security?

DPW I think

It means when trouble strikes, he turns on his strobes, and get the hell out of there as fast as he can.

I'm just saying.

Cowards?

Easiest way to find out is to stop him & ask.

No, the Yellow Line is the Tow Truck drivers....All of our town wreckers have them, they also have Repair plates.... But on a Crown Vic?? Maybe he's confused.

Heck even I know that one, Tow Truck drivers...
We had a couple threads about that a year or so ago.

No wait my bad, it's the symbol of the crashing the amber society.

Wrecker drivres/wackers on the S. Shore

Everybody knows that the thin yellow line means he's French. As Delta784 stated, it's for cowardice. I bet he had a white flag flying from his antenna too.

Must be... Black CV with aerials and more clear LED's than our low profile units.

I was talking to one of the other officers that works days this morning when I got into the station and they said that they already got a call on him. Caller stated "someone you might want to check out" I guess based on the fact that he is driving a look a like cruiser.

I have seen it a few times he lives in town so I think I will go and introduce myself next time I see him...

Gil, Let us know how you make out!

Posted by: Opie

Gil, I've met him as well. I believe heavy set, shaved head? He lives in my town and I asked him up front whats the deal w/ the CVPI, strobes, and "Yellow Line Plate?" He said, "Oh I tow for Boston!" Uh.. OK...Whacker.

I think the T.Y.L. plates stem from the two drivers that one got killed and one lost a leg on 495 like 2 yrs ago in Norton.

I've got a new slogan...

"MASSCOPS, you can't make this shit up."

Posted by: Wolfman

It's the tow company intercept vehicle, ultra-quick response to determine if they'll need a straight hook or a flatbed.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Maybe its a new plate to show solidarity and respect for our nations drug testers.

Heres a post I found about yellow lights--->

RMV cracking down on corner strobes and amber lights
Coming soon from the RMV also:

The Registrar is cracking down on corner strobes. They are permitted on public safety vehicles only (police, fire, medical, dpw). Not private such as pickup trucks owned by snow plowers, construction companies, etc. They are also promulgating letters to be sent to local and state PD's detailing who can use amber lights. I am getting a copy of this letter and the amber permit application if anyone has questions. FYI too, anyone coming across vehicles with white strobe lights, they are regulated under Ch 90 & CMR's and are NOT permitted for citizens, only public safety owned vehicles. That is in writing from RMV Chief legal and a recent court case I had.

The local police districts contract out towing services when the city is not available, which is ALL THE TIME.

Oh, please, pm me that plate. I'll tell you if he's legitimate.

OOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhh please.

Funny Kev...That's what Lance says, "There's something in the water over here, That's why I live in Attleboro!" I'll have to agree, thats why I'll only drink bottled water and if I run out, I just switch to beer
