No the police here are very well paid.
This isn't really even a "new" tactic for them as back in the 70s they had some old Dodge Darts that they would use as radar cars on the side of the highway. They would tag you with them and then a marked cruiser would pull you over.
It does make good sense to use the resources you already have. Once they clock a few hundred thousand miles they just send the cars to auction so they still make even more money from them.
They do buy purpose built cars as well but since the Crown Vic is gone they are usually one of several different makes/models.
