The “Ghost Car” will be used to sneak up on motorists who are talking on hand-held cell phones, text-messaging or driving without seat belts.
The car, a Crown Victoria like other police cars, is white and has no rack or lights on the roof. The county police decal on the side of the vehicle is another shade of white, rather than red and blue, to blend in with other traffic.
“We’re actually calling it ‘the ghost car,’ ” said Capt. Paul A. Stasaitis, commander of the patrol division. “It’s what we call a low-profile unit. It’s kind of a new concept for this area.”
