I drive a white toyota camry when I'm out of the office on a job.

I usually have another guy with me, and we both wear suits (or at least shirt and ties).

It has 3 antennas and has "stock" rims which could look like pursuit rims I guess.

I'm not a cop (although I play one on TV heh), but I do investigations for a private company.

I'd say your mate it just clutching at straws here. He could be seeing any number of people going about their day to day duties without them being cops.

Yes i've seen an unmarked Camry before. They started using them from about the 2004 model onwards I think...

I have no idea how many they have, but i've also heard stories of people seeing them on the freeway etc as well.

I have seen one I have mentioned previously (in another thread) that was unmarked apart from the rear bumper... from memory I think it was VF 501. Looked just like any other car on the road apart from those markings which I happened to notice as he was in front of me...
