Now you've done it! By saying that, you're gonna get pulled over any day now. Isn't that Murphy's Law? :) Hope you don't get stopped. In terms of the last part of your sentence, thank you for your diligence.

sounds like you have it figured out. taking the lightbar and antennas off go a long way to"de-police" the car.

Bill, I don't think there's much choice. We all have to pay attention to keeping this hobby going. It is too easy to go the wrong way with these cars and nothing but trouble can come of it and someone in DC or otherwise will take it upon themselves to legislate our hobby out of existence!

A few just don't seem to understand the importance of their actions with the cars. the worst is the ones that do stupid things, then arrogantly brag about it on a public forum. Heaven forbid someone question their intentions, especially if they think their profession gives them some sort of "pass" on making us look bad ??? People really need to think about what all the other motoring public sees and what opinions they may formulate because of how we drive the cars. I have made mistakes with the cars myself over the past 15 years, but I have learned from my mistakes and the mistakes of others. The sooner everyone gets on the same page and makes "image" a priority, the better we and every other cop car owner/driver will be accepted. It only takes one childish act to tip the scales against us as we have seen in the past. We all make mistakes, and sometimes we just need to say...wow I screwed that up and it won't happen again.

I am off the soapbox on this topic. I think we have beat it to death.............

Perception is reality. Make sure the perception is not a bad reflection on the hobby.
