That can't be a cop. Maybe a wannabe or silly security car. Man I hope that's not a cop.

lol

Hilarious. Would someone mind chopping that and putting "INGO Patrol. To Protect and Ban"

Something like that?

 

[Serial Crusher]

Doesn't have an LE plate or municipal plate, and looks to be late 90's make. I'm guessing it's a faker.

If it's not a cop, it's illegal. Only LE is allowed to have red and blue lights.

I'm fairly certain that there are certain exceptions, funeral escorts spring to mind.

On second look I think its fpd9317's ride!

Either a poser or a volunteer fireman.

State law requires that red can only be displayed on the driver's side of the light bar on a police car. Due to the red rear and what arrears to be blue front and magnetic CB antennas, it is a volunteer fireman with a case of wannabes.

I'm no expert on the subject myself, but here's the relevant IC I found.

IC 9-21-13-4
Lead and escort vehicles; flashing lights; restrictions on use
Sec. 4. (a) The lead and funeral escort vehicles in a funeral
procession may be equipped with flashing amber lights that may be
used only when the vehicles are used in a funeral procession.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this article that
govern emergency vehicles, the lead and funeral escort vehicles in a
funeral procession may be equipped with flashing red lights that may
be used only when the vehicles are used in a funeral procession. The
flashing red lights may only be used to gain the right-of-way at
intersections and to protect a funeral procession while crossing an
intersection.

Who's to say he didn't buy them himself and have them put on his car?

Walmart parking lot.....Plastic hubcaps? Any way looks fake to me! I call FAKE!!!

 

[Tactical Dave]

Maybe he was working black expo????

 

[curraheeguns]

I would guess town marshall. I would guess he has police powers, just no police SENSE!!

H I D E O U S !!!!!

Maybe he was working black expo????

Hmmm... Possibly, but I don't see any bullet holes.

 

[jsharmon7]

Gotta be a faker. Why go through the trouble of having an unmarked car with a light bar?

Also, my understanding was that it's only impersonation of a police officer if the person attempts to cause someone to do something because they think they're a police officer. So if he has a light bar but no lights inside it, he's not really breaking the law. I could be wrong though.

This is correct.

Some time ago, I was in an altercation with a Marion County court-level (i.e. no police powers while off-duty, basically a bailiff) deputy driving a surplus car that he had added lights to in the rear deck and on the push bar. Said individual (in street clothes) approached my vehicle from behind at an intersection. I was already on the phone with ISP, who heard me have to tell this person to get away from my vehicle three times, with the third being a GET THE $%^& AWAY FROM MY VEHICLE at the top of my lungs. At this point, Mr. Bailiff was about to be drawn on.

I already had his plate number, and it took quite a bit of calling around to determine who this guy was. In the end, it was determined that he had not violated any laws.

However, due to his stupidity, I'm pretty sure he lost his job over the incident, and I know for a fact he lost his rent-free apartment he had gained by representing himself as a police officer the the apartment management.

I saw a lot of super sweet "unmarked" Chargers and new Mustangs on 465 today. Seemed a but excessive. I pointed them all out to my kids. "See that honey, that is an unmarked police car... yes, yes dear, he IS trying to be sneaky."

 

[NordicHeathenVinlander]

I cant see the plate, but from what I see, it's a poser.

If this was "unmarked" then someone needs to be fired.
