Default c5 police intercepter???? IS THIS REAL

ok do you guys think that these are just some dumbass kids who put a siren and lights on their car or is it possible this is a real police car and it just their dad's or something.

A friend of mine said that he was on the east coast, not sure what state, and that there was a police department that would let officers use their own cars as police cars. He said he saw a few corvettes, porsches and some other high end cars. I don't know how true that is but this might be one of them??

No its fake... For one they lit the guy up and never pulled him over.. ILLEGAL... Two they called him ricer.. dont thinkg cops pull up next to you and call you a ricer instead of pulling over? Three It has to be registered under the state to be used for official use for police.

Fake for sure. That was not a taillight flasher. That was his hazards.

Also it's not hard to put a scanner in a vehicle and make it sound like real police chatter. Somebody just dropped in a visor light and cheap siren and went around pretending to be the po-po

May be fake but it looked sick. I wouldn't fully rule it out though, an uncle of mine living somewhere back east uses his car for his patrol car. Its a SS trail blazer. They just put in the motorola workstation and the visor lights and the A pillar lights. I think they only allow a certain number of them and you have to put in a request for it and they choose to let you or not. Did sound like one of those little PA systems you could get at pep boys though.

When I had my 94 B4C I bought wig-wags for the high beams, strobes for the tail-lights and almost got a siren and intercom for it.......it can be done. not too hard to wire either, they all come with directions. But yeah, not a real cop car, just someone being an idiot and trying to get arrested.

In VA state and local police unmarked have normal DMV plates. However if you run the tags, they come up as not registered.

But state police only run crappy cars.

In cali that isn't illegal unless they try to actually take actions as an officer, eg. pulling them over or attempting to arrest them, etc.
