I don’t condone. Never liked people making their cars look like cop cars.

It’s meant to look like a police vehicle from a distance. Not cool.

It’s probably sufficiently different from local and state police cars to avoid confusion. It’d be a different case if they drove it through NYC, though.

I know it’s a joke but from 100 feet away it looks like this

Yeah but I’m certain that Tampa bay Florida doesn’t have any cop cars with nypd on the side

To be fair I have no idea what a Tampa cop car even looks like but I assumed it looked similar since you posted this. Unless you really just got a kick out of the fact that it says Precinct Pizza on it.

Imagine driving this thing into NYC ... how long before you were pulled over and, if not arrested, at least forced to the ground and beaten?

At least 25 seconds

By the cops, I assume you mean.

you ought to paint one of the kids matte and put steelies on it. tiny light bar, one of those big lights with a handle in the A pillar ...

Indeed ... and I wonder if it’s legal to put a light bar on it? Probably, because Florida.

I know that where I grew up, it was legal to put waggers on your lights, just not to use them to stop people.

I like this for a couple of reasons, one it’s funny based on an iconic livery and two from a distance it could be confused with an actual police vehicle even if other road users are confused why an NYPD vehicle is on the road in their area it may sufficiently deter criminality to change their mind or at least do a double take.

We used to laugh because the livery of our ambulance cars would slow speeders on the motorway till they were close enough to see we weren’t police.

They aren’t sufficiently replicating a police officer or vehicle to be classed as impersonating or ‘passing off’.

There’s a girl in town with a P71. Looks like maybe a former detective car. Has the push bar and cop wheels. Most of the time I see her driving it while wearing ray bans. I can’t decide if it’s awesome or awful
