Default Wanna be cops.

So has anyone ever been driving around and you see an un-marked Crown Vic come up on your ass or along side you and then you realize it is some reject w/just about every Law Enforcement Accessory he can get his hands on to make his car look like a cop car. What's up w/these dickheads? The one thing that always gives them away is the fact that their plates are civilian type w/tags, not exempt, so then they get made from their little sharade and the look even dumber. Anyone else ever see these guys rolling around? Do they have their own club or something?

Seriously though, quite often people will buy vehicles that were prior law enforcement vehicles because, well, they're cheap.

As a result, they usually have the black grille, black rear fascia, and a spotlight left on them.

I've never seen anyone actually put them on their car after they purchased a regular Crown Victoria.

Not what the cause or purpose is, but I'm sure we could talk about possibilities all day long. I'm talking about the ones who fake the funk, and you can tell they are not cops, but they have all this shit on their car to make it look like it, so they can fuck w/people I guess. Come to So Orange County and you'll see at least 1 your 1st day out, usually w/a mid-aged white haired driver.

I've seen old cop cars end up as taxi's. You can tell they were once patrol cars because when does a taxi need a spotlight n' shit.

But yeah.
