Spot the tells

Push bar

Steel frame on the front bumper.

Spotlight

Round lamp by the driver’s mirror.

Antennas

Two to four on the roof or trunk.

Steel wheels

Plain black rims, small chrome caps.

Fleet colors

Black, white, charcoal, navy.

Heavy tint

Hides the gear. Weak on its own.

It watches cops. Not you.

Copdar sees
  • Police vehicles
Copdar never sees
  • Plates
  • Faces
  • You

Faces and plates are removed or obscured before an image reaches the labeler, then checked by people. That is careful, not perfect, so report any image that slips through. No plate search. No private-person tracking. No ad trackers.

Radar map

To draw the map behind the homepage radar, Cloudflare, which serves this site, estimates a rough area from your IP address through our copdar-local-radar.crecker19.workers.dev endpoint. We round it to 0.1° (about 10 km) and send it only to your browser. Copdar doesn’t store it, write it to logs, or use it in analytics. The radar’s blips are a demo, not real police locations.

Your browser then loads up to 9 map images for that area directly from OpenStreetMap (tile.openstreetmap.org). Like any website, OpenStreetMap receives your IP address, browser details, copdar.org as the referring site, and which map squares were requested, which reveals that rough area. See the OSMF privacy policy. With a VPN or some mobile networks the area can be far off. If no area is available, you see the demo radar with no map.
