They want us to believe the guy was TRYING to look like an actual officer.
Cheesy, yes, but I don't believe that's what the guy was trying to do.

Police patrol cars are usually Fords or Chryslers, not Maseratis.
So when a patrolman in Braintree, Massachusetts, spotted a Maserati resembling a police cruiser over the weekend, he pulled it over.
Deputy Chief Wayne Foster tells The Patriot Ledger ( http://bit.ly/1rm0c8x ) the luxury Italian vehicle's body was painted black and white with a police-style shield on the doors, and police-related decals.
Foster said the door shield wasn't accompanied by the usual police phrase "Protect and Serve," but rather with "Decepticons punish and enslave."

Stupid.
They ain’t got nothing better to do?
Figures.

I guess if you buy a used p71 Crown Victorino, don’t get the ‘to punish and enslave’ add on decal.
California made Best Buy change the paint scheme on their tech support cars because they supposedly reassembled police cars. But then we do have a lot of Democrats out here so there was probably a lot of confusion.
With all the police pretenders roaming the streets and causing untold mischief, the police have to check out any potential malefactors. Many people have been harmed by those that have pretended to be police.
I can imagine a lot of people were fooled by the Deception P.D.
Was he also Officer Decepticon?
I think that’s from Transformers 2; there was a police cruiser with those words on it that was a Decepticon
I’d figure some other department made out like bandits on a forfeiture and I’d wonder how I could get me one.
something’s up. that’s an incredibly expensive car to screw up with a purposeless paint job . . . without some, well, purpose.
Next they'll have to arrest people at costume partys.
If you can afford the car you can play with it-——I guess.
.
Someone who can afford that car can afford the attorney.
Unless he had lights and siren and/or was attempting to pull people over, I doubt he was violating any state statute.
It’s art.
Clearly a violation of his 1st amendment rights.
If anything, what will get him in trouble is having “police” on the car. Everything else is probably legal. (at least would be here in MN)
