We first caught wind of this, I mean, years back and turns out to be several hobbyists in Europe that like to collect American cars and repaint them, refinish them with police and law enforcement style finishes on there," Gandhi said. “And, luckily, we’ve become pretty popular in a few countries.”
Alex Roy’s cannonball run M5 is painted like a German police car. Plenty of Americans accidentally leave misc cop equipment on their retired crown vics to cos play as police. The irony is only a small amount of the remaining population is scared of crown vics - under 30s may have never seen them used and a ton of people straight up don’t spot cop cars. I can’t say I see early as many retired chargers/impalas/caprices/tahoes/explorers/tauruses let alone with old equipment.
I grew up with Crown Vics as the standard cop car, but now it’s been so long since they’ve been in use that when I see them, I just imagine it’s a poor person who couldn’t afford a newer car.
Everyone needs a hobby.
TIL Gandhi is still alive and commenting on polish car collectors.
