    They are almost exclusively white or silver, with blue and yellow battenberg on each side, and red and yellow warning chevron on the back. The high-conspicuity police livery was developed by the police R&D labs in the 1990s and became standard across Britain from around 2004.

    I can’t think of a force that used black and white rather than light blue and white. Maybe there were some long ago.

      In the US, they are almost all black and white, occasionally with green for sheriffs and highway patrol.

          So you already have color on your police cars, but a small rainbow sticker makes them unrecognizable? I don’t think you’re making the point you think you are.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
