It's nice to look the part. Albeit counterproductive.

The red and blues tell me this is a demo car, belongs to a really wealthy police force, or the owner is about to be arrested for impersonation.

Psychological deterrence.

Lots of private armored cars have this feature , because rich people who buy armored cars often don't give a fuck, and are willing to use it "in emergencies" and then deal with the repercussions.

I actually wonder if it's just photoshop.

That being said, it's an entirely state-by-state thing. For example, my college campus police has legit red and blues on their private police cars. It might be a thing where the car has to be registered with the state under some permit to run the lights.

Not photoshop, tons of private armored cars have this.

It would totally depend on jurisdiction. I don't have my Canadian Criminal Code with me right now and the internet is being stupid, but I am certain that this would constitute impersonating a peace officer if a normal person were to do this. I'm just having difficulty finding out the length of punishment. Now, rules surrounding the use of red and blues by security agencies? I have no idea about those.

Yeah, those rich people are assholes.

TBH if I were a billionaire ordering an armored luxury SUV, I'd probably spring for some lights.

Dear God. You have to stop ever so often and shoo away the children playing on it.

I was thinking more of it being a jungle gym, but yeah, that too.
