They aren’t impersonating a US officer so that’s fine, I guess. Huh.

I like to believe in my head that a police spec Golf is an Alltrack with GTI engine, brakes and programming.

The owner could probably argue that no reasonable person would think he’s a police officer, so it would be hard to charge.
Still lame to make your personal car look like a cop car though.

Perhaps a bit presumptuous . Not well timed either.
I would argue no reasonable person would drive around in a facsimile of a foreign police car.

This is why the law is hard.
Valid defences of “I’m not dressed like a cop”, “I don’t have lights on my car”, “ I haven’t tried to pull anyone over” could also be tried.
In sum: I don’t get why you want to look like a fake cop.

When I was involved with police-spec cars at the OEM I us ed to work for, the main upgrade areas were brakes and seats: y ou’d be amazed how quickly a fully-kitted 250lb cop hurling themself in and out of the car 20 times a day can wreck a seatframe . En gines and suspension, unfortunately, usually stayed stock: most police force vehic le fleet managers believe cops are dangerous enough behind the wheel without encouraging them to go even faster .

First I’ve seen this one I believe, but it did seem familiar.

A long lost friend of mine left me his Tijuana Taxi livery Ford cop car when he went off to Iraq. It was an Ex Georgia State Patrol then Coweta, Georgia Police. It was blue when it was a trooper car and then painted black and white. He got it and it had a big shield on the side, and “Police” decals on the front quarters. I covered all the Police wording with duck tape when I took it for a spin as he asked once a week.
After he rotated back to the USA for good, he came to pick it up and drove it 600 miles back to North Carolina (Jacksonville, 2nd division Marines). When he got within 20 miles of home, he was pulled over and informed that he was illegally impersonating a police officer. He said that the car didn’t say police anywhere on it, so how was that? They said the shield was sufficient and he should remove all police insignia and wording permanently. Odd that after all that driving, he gets pulled over practically at his home.

All that and failed to mount EU plates. I’m astounded.

Oh yeah, that era is long gone. Our local PD already has mostly switched to the hybrid Fusion and hybrid Explorers.
