There are also revisions that basically allow exemptions in any circumstance deemed necessary.

I disagree. Considering (3) says this:

and only only allows traffic control vics of the state patrol to be exempted by the WA State Patrol Chief, I doubt the law was written to allow random deputies to pull over speeders in unmarked cars.
I believe the law was written to allow the "Lucy's Flowershop" surveillance van and the '86 Caprice that Officer Vice is using to pose as a dealer, to be unmarked.
Some states don't allow unmarked "regular" cop cars. I though it was weird at first when I got to the islands. Here in HI, the cars actually have to drive around with their blue lights on(solid, not flashing). Its ridiculous, you have otherwise unmarked cars driving around with a blue light on top
real subtle.
