I don't even understand this. You cannot be pulled over by an "unmarked" vehicle. In order for a patroller to pull you over, the car has to be VISIBLY marked from at least 50 feet away!! I found this out in a safety speech given by Georgia state patrollers.

Tell that to the City of Richardson, Texas traffic gendarmes! Depends on their definition of 'visibly marked'; it could mean having red/blue lights, siren and flashing headlights and not necessarily 'HIGHWAY PATROL' or 'POLICE' insignia.
Many traffic cop units will get around the 'unmarked' rule by just adding a couple of stickers to an unmarked vehicle; those familiar with the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor can see the plain wheels and overall police hardware (ram bumpers, etc.) No light bar in plain sight.
