A so-called ghost car is putting a scare into speeders in Sioux Falls.Police have a new black patrol vehicle that's equipped with special reflective lettering known as subdued graphics. You can't always see the police markings on the side of the SUV. And by the time you do, an officer has already had a radar locked onto your car."If the thought that the vehicle is out there, that it might be harder to see or notice than another vehicle and it's helping slow traffic down, then I think it's being effective," Officer T.J. Olsen said.Police say they're not trying to trick anyone into a speeding ticket with their ghost car. The vehicle sports a standard light bar on it's roof, like any other law enforcement patrol car.On tonight's Eye On KELOLAND at 10, we go for a ride-along in the ghost car. See how these subdued graphics allow officers to hide in plain sight.
