After responding to an electronic sensor, we chased a marijuana smuggler circa 1985-1988 in one of those Ram Chargers used as a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle. We only caught up to 'em after he spun out. I was driving and my partner was a female agent.
We drew our weapons, but the smuggler ran away back across the border (we were in an un-fenced desert area). We kept his car and the 168 pounds of pot we found in the trunk. The license plates did not match the vehicle.
The Border Patrol green made the vehicles almost invisible at night (with the lights off).
