I'd love to be a fly on the wall when an unknowing patrol car comes across an unmarked car driving at such speed ...the chase would be interesting!
A few years ago now I was at home one night in Bilbao where I live and I heard a succession of deafening bangs down in the street. It turned out that an unmarked car full of (Spanish) civil guards had been following another unmarked car full of (Basque) police and both groups of police officers were convinced the other lot was an ETA hit squad. After a brief Mexican standoff and much shouting, they all started shooting at each other. Luckily no life threatening injuries and only one hospitalised police officer, but a lifetime of report-writing and I dare say some months of school crossing patrols for all involved.
