Can you keep a fully marked police cruiser in your driveway if you are not a police officer?
If you are working on a police vehicle project for show purposes, can you keep it in your driveway? I have a lot of vehicles driving by and I don't want to cause issues with local police agencies, I wouldn't drive it or anything either. It's also a Ford Explorer based on the Local Dept's Taurus. It's nearly complete, but I don't have anywhere to store it, my garage can't fit it and I need somewhere to keep it until I make room in the garage. I'm in Ohio BTW. Like I said, I don't want to drive it or anything, I just want to use it for show purposes and as personal collection. Does anyone know the law on this?
Depends on the location. In some cities, towns the police officers are allowed to take the vehicles home and park them in the driveway or whatever. Actually helps to reduce crime and if there isn't much of a police garage, solves space problems.
But if you are not a police officer, then it's probably a problem. Check with the PD and find out. Most cities have laws on not having lights on top, logos on the side, and anything that implies it's a legit vehicle. And you can get into trouble for impersonating a police officer.

- Can a rookie officer ask his department if he can drive an suv unit? Hi. I'm 5'9" and 253 lbs. I'm trying to be a cop when i graduate. The problem is that when i took a ride of the ford taurus, it was too small and tight inside. I know that the ford police interceptor is based on the taurus so i'm really worried that. Can a newly hired officer ask them if he can drive an suv instead of a sedan if they have suv units?
