In California, he'd be cited everytime he hit the street. The impersonation law here DOES have teeth. The CHP made Best Buy repaint ALL their black-and-white VW Beetles because an officer in the Bay area started citing them for driving a police-similar vehicle. Now all Geek Squad vehicles in California only have a white top. The doors have been painted black. How's that for over-reaction...

While I totally agree with the impersonation laws, I think nailing the Geek Squad's Beetles was just a little overboard.

I agree.

It's interesting how some states really care about the paint schemes and others couldn't care any less.

I am not concerned about a two tone paint scheme.

the fake light bar and the word police on the car gets him arrested......if he drives on the street in my jurisdiction.
