How is it legal for taxis to look like police cars?

shawn1980 asked:


I’ve noticed a lot of taxis in my neighborhood that are white Crown Vitorias that have a blue stripe on the side. When I see them, I often confuse them for police cars. Isn’t it illegal to drive a car that looks like a police car?
No, I was gonna buy a white crown victoria with a searchlight when I retire and spend my golden years laughing at people that slow down when they drive by me. Is that inpersonating a police officer?

    No, it isn’t illegal because Taxi cabs are de-commisioned police patrol cars I believe. It is by no means illegal to drive a Crown Vic as long as you aren’t putting POLICE stickers on the car and putting sirens on the top lol

    because some were retired police cars. you can buy a retired police car cheap. some still have some of the equiptment in them. usually list the light on the outside. not the siren or lights.

    and any car can be a police car. most undercover cars dont have the special license plate on them anymore like people think. you never know if a cop is behind you or not
