As a general rule, law enforcement officers should be in marked patrol vehicles in order to make ordinary traffic stops. This is due to public safety and officer safety reasons. In emergency circumstances, officers in unmarked vehicles may pull a driver over. However, the better practice is for them to radio in for the assistance of a marked vehicle. An experienced traffic attorney in your state can best advise you further.
