Is it illegal to drive a unmarked Ford Mustang SSP police car if I'm not a cop?
Okay I found this nice 1993 Ford Mustang SSP police car. It's an unmarked police car used by the Florida Highway Patrol. It is still equipped with lights and sirens and my question is would I be arrested for impersonating an officer (because I'm NOT a cop) for driving a Ford Mustang SSP unmarked police car?
It's not impersonating, unless you dress up like a cop, or try to pull people over. People buy old police cars all the time.
As long as you do not activate the emergency equipment, you are legal. You may want to change the emergency light lenses replacing them with amber ones
You must un-install the lights and sirens or yes you most likely get charged with impersonating and officer
Not a problem. I've had two de-commissioned Crown Vic hiway patrol cars…
You can keep the lights, just as long as they are never turned on, unless you are at an automotive event such as a car show with other old emergency vehicles.
Most likely prior to sale that POS will have its lights and sirens removed.
Pull all of those things off and store them somewhere. You might be able to keep them if you change the light color from red/blue to orange/white. Although, it might just be easier to disconnect or remove it all. The siren might have a P.A. System. That's legal to have as long as it's not used while driving and the siren part isn't used.
- Why do illegal immigrants like to drive Chevrolets, Fords or GMC trucks? Everyone knows that Toyotas last 6 x longer? Except them? Why? btw, anyone noticed this? you don't hardly ever see them driving Toyotas, mostly Chevrolet or GMC trucks
- What kind of police officers get to drive the newer marked vehicles? Like a Dodge Charger, Ford Taurus, and Chevy Tahoe? The newer and nicer vehicles. Do you have to be a certain rank? Or in a certain division?
- Can a police officer buy a brand new unmarked police car with out his department's Do Dodge and Ford sell their unmarked police cars to individual police officers if the officers directly contact Dodge or Ford? Or do they only sell their unmarked police cars directly to police departments? Happy Gramps You are wrong. Dodge and Ford have their factory equipped Charger and Ford Interceptor (Taurus) models with police packages
- Is it illegal to have police sirens on my car? I want to buy a ford crown Victoria and the one that am looking at still has the police siren lights on top of it but doesn't have the switch to turn it on and I was just wondering is it illegal to drive it like that even tho it still has the stickers and lights? I live in California btw
