Honestly, why even have marked cars? If there's cops everywhere in regular ass unmarked cars, why have both?

Because sometimes showing presence is necessary and sometimes being covert is necessary.

Unmarked cars make it easier to ticket and arrest more people. Doesn't make it necessary.

If you don't mind a lay opinion in response to your question, I think it's a matter of having different tools for different jobs. Sometimes it is important to have marked/official-looking vehicles (here is a video I'm basing this on), whereas there are obviously other situations where having a marked vehicle is detrimental to the purpose (surveillance comes to mind).

I imagine with this case, it was one of those all-hands-on-deck situations where they weren't picky about marked vs. unmarked. They just wanted to apprehend the suspect.
