No. The tonal range is just greatly reduced. In B&W, blues show up more "black" whereas reds & greens show up in shades of dark/medium grey, and yellows show up as light grey.

It is when compared to white, cream, tan, beige, etc. It's about the process of elimination.

You have no clue what you are talking about. A very basic profile is enough to create PC, which is enough to stop a vehicle matching a specific description/location. Of course, you probably wouldn't get much traction with PD in a high-crime metro area with such a call. However, I am guessing LEOs in Oveland Park, KS might not have the same workload or call stack as those in large Metros.
