Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.

some lights are small look alike extra mirrors on the side mirrors, and theyre hella easy to spot if youre looking; Ive caught my dad driving behind me a dozen times bc of it

lights can fit clipped to the sun visors

tinted windows, but not blacked out

the models of cars above are obv sus, but be careful anyway bc cops will raid drug dealers and are allowed to keep “forfeiture” which includes a dealer’s car up, but only for 3 years and then they legally have to sell it; brand new cars or only 1–2 years old that look constantly washed (departments often get free car washes at the dealerships they buy fleet from) are sus af

beware anyone wearing “cop brands,” which are companies that cater to cops/military like 5-11, Vertex, the like; check watches too bc most ppl cant afford/dont want a goddamn G-Shock

idk if I’m explaining it adequately, but the Cop Stance; the squared shoulders and slightly wide, feet apart stance, it gives em away as off duty a lot imo and it can become unconscious

even if theyre trying to incite a fight, better believe theyre conceal carrying; fat guys will have it in a pocket (thats why u be wary of brands bc theyre good at their job), skinny guys might have it down their front, and women are usually at hip

know what facial hair is allowed at the local department; if they grow it to look less like a cop, some departments still dont allow full beards, some dont allow even goatees, etc (higher up the chain, less likely it matters, but a lieutenant or captain is unlikely to have the job of inciting the riot)

steer clear of a porn stache

I have 0 idea why, but almost every cop Ive ever met will say “shut it down” in a dozen different circumstances

they often have call signs even tho radios are good quality these days, and they always sound like a military TV show’s approx of a call sign: Flip, Clue, etc

computers are still often in undercover cars, and theyre bulky mfs

the back of an undercover car is likely way weighed down; gun safes, some have half a cage, reinforced seats, gear, equipment, body armor, etc, and I can always tell how it sits

calling a buddy by their last name? cop

beaded chain necklace under their shirt? bulky ass trifold wallet? badge

25% of the people have a 4th cone and see colors as they are

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.

The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is trichromat.

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is tetrachromat.

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway :)

It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter the background light ;)

stealing this idea from @herefortommo because it’s awesome!! also a big thanks to @femstyles for the original idea – thank you for spreading some positivity! 

i wanted to make a thank you post of sorts for everyone that has continuously supported me, be it reblogging my fic posts, leaving comments, private messaging me, liking my posts, reccing my writing, etc. while there’s no way i can thank you all for every single thing, ya’ll have no idea how much it all means to me and how much it motivates me to keep writing. i already know i’m going to forget some, but to the people listed below and anyone else that has ever interacted with me on here – thank you! :) it means the world.
