unmarked car

Plain police vehicle

An unmarked car is a police vehicle that lacks the distinctive paint scheme, logos, and visible emergency lights that identify standard patrol cars.

These vehicles are used for surveillance, undercover operations, and traffic enforcement where officers want to observe without being immediately recognized as law enforcement.

I didn't realize it was a cop until the unmarked car lit up behind me.
