Can a Missouri officer in an unmarked car pull you over? Here's what state law says
Usually unassuming cars on Missouri highways are just that: unassuming. But sometimes they turn on sirens and flashing lights and pull you over. In Missouri, law enforcement is allowed to use unmarked cars to pull over drivers. This means police don't have to display bold decals to pursue you. Turning on red or blue flashing lights or a siren is enough, according to state law. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a May Facebook post that less-visible vehicles allow officers 'help us monitor aggressive & dangerous driving more effectively.' In this post they announced the installation of barely visible 'ghost graphics' on some vehicles, which are invisible in daylight. Thousands of Facebook commenters criticized the graphics, one saying, 'Trying to be as hidden as possible from the public is definitely a unique way of protecting and serving,' while another wrote, 'Your cars should all be high-vis so it is easy to locate you in case of emergency.' While both Missouri and Kansas allow officers in unmarked vehicles to enforce traffic laws, some states like California, New Mexico and Idaho prohibit the practice. When the highway patrol is making their patrol cars blend in, the Kansas City Police Department's vehicles will soon stand out. Starting July 1, some marked KCPD vehicles will now have their blue roof lights steadily on, after a city council vote. The lights are supposed to act as a deterrent and make it easier for residents to flag down officers. Jake Becchina, a KCPD spokesperson, offered these tips on what to do if you're pursued by an unfamiliar vehicle in Kansas City: Pull over to the nearest well-lit spot. KCPD vehicles have sirens and red and blue lights. KCPD officers are 'dressed in police uniform or other clearly marked as police.' If you're concerned, verify by calling 911 or KCPD's nonemergency number, 816-234-5111. Have more questions about traffic laws in Missouri? Ask the Service Journalism team at kcq@

Major Nissan Supplier Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Major Nissan Supplier Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy originally appeared on Autoblog. In a move that emphasizes the financial pressures faced by major global auto suppliers, one of the largest tier-one suppliers in the world has recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States. Marelli supplies lighting systems, electronics, and other critical components to automakers like Nissan, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram. Its parent company, Stellantis, said in its court filings on June 11 that it faced a perfect storm of pandemic-related disruptions, global tariffs, and industry-wide shifts toward electrification prior to its decision to file. For an industry used to navigating cyclical turbulence, Marelli's story reflects just how volatile the landscape has become after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In court documents, Marelli CEO David Slump pointed to long-running disruptions that occurred during the pandemic, including labor shortages and difficulty sourcing raw materials. As if that wasn't a huge problem already, Marelli also got caught up in the global semiconductor shortage, which limited production and halted factories of major automakers and their suppliers. However, Slump says that the final nail in Marelli's coffin was the impact of wide-reaching auto industry tariffs that were imposed earlier this year. Back in March, the Trump Administration announced a new round of levies on imported vehicles and auto parts. For a company like Marelli—formed from the 2019 merger of Fiat Chrysler's parts division, Magneti Marelli, and Calsonic Kansein, a Japanese supplier owned by American private equity firm KKR, and heavily reliant on international trade—the tariffs killed any potential to recover financially. 'Marelli was severely affected by tariffs due to its import/export-focused business,' Slump said in the filing. 'Macroeconomic headwinds associated with the imposition of tariffs in countries around the world' worsened the company's liquidity at a critical time. As automakers shifted resources toward electric vehicles, suppliers like Marelli became involved in a capital-intensive rat race to retool and adapt to a fast-changing marketplace. Billions were spent across the industry to create and support groundbreaking new EV platforms, but suppliers like Marelli were left with fewer orders and the financial burden when EV demand slowed and automakers adjusted or delayed their EV timelines to react to the market. Marelli's Chapter 11 filing is a warning of what's ahead for others in the space. The supplier landscape is changing amid uncertainty and shifting trends in powertrain electrification, and suppliers operate on tight margins. Companies like Marelli feel financial pressure without consistent production volumes or stable regulatory environments. But while Marelli is going through bankruptcy filings, it should be noted that it isn't a liquidation (liquidations occur in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy) but rather a strategic restructuring. Marelli says it intends to continue operating throughout the Chapter 11 process thanks to over $1 billion in debtor-in-possession financing from its lenders. Marelli has backing from more than 80% of its senior lenders, and its plan is to convert a large portion of the company's roughly $5 billion in debt into equity, essentially giving control of the business to its creditors. Currently, the company has some unfinished business with customers. According to Automotive News, Stellantis and Nissan are the two largest unsecured creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing. Marelli said it owes Stellantis $454 million and $313 million to Nissan. 'For Nissan, securing a stable supply chain is essential. We are committed to support Marelli to maintain its revenue generation and will coordinate with Marelli's other customers while actively monitoring the supply chain to prevent disruptions,' Nissan told AutoNews in an emailed statement. For now, Marelli insists that operations will continue, but its situation is an example of how interconnected and fragile the modern automotive ecosystem is. Tariffs, pandemics, supply shortages, and technology transitions aren't just speed bumps for automakers; they could mean life or death for the companies that keep the car industry running behind the scenes. Marelli may be the first, but it probably won't be the last.
