Volkswagen TDI Jetta Sports Wagon With Police Emergency Lights Blows Through Red Light In Lakewood, Co

 

 

   At the light at northbound So. Kipling & Exposition. A 2012 (or so) Volkswagen Jetta Wagon gets in the left turn lane which has the green arrow. However, instead of turning left, it starts flashing police emergency lights (that's red and blue in the U.S.) and instead of the left turn the VW Jetta wagon proceeds to blow through the red light and continue northbound.

   There is the possibility that the VW Jetta wagon is an unmarked police car, but there are a couple of reasons that I don't believe that to be so.

   1) The Buy American Act restricts the purchase of vehicles by U.S. law enforcement agencies to U.S. automakers, primarily Chevrolet, Ford, & Dodge.

   Plus, I checked on www.https://www.policecarwebsite.net/westside/gov/code.html and they did not have it posted as a marked police vehicle (if a vehicle has emergency police lights, it's considered marked).

   2) As can be seen in the pics, there is a rocket box and a snowboard attached to the roof rack.

   I suppose the VW Jetta wagon could be a deep undercover vehicle, as I know the DEA has used confiscated exotic foreign cars like Lambos and Ferraris in undercover operations, but I somehow doubt it. The roof rack with the snowboard and rocket box is just a touch more clever, eh?
