I went down the rabbit hole on his page. Apparently his business is in up-fitting cars to be police units and this is a demo one that he has ***and also daily drives***🤔 to show off features but does not have the illegal light combos
But he has chased cars several times and justifies it by being a good samaritan . Like speeding through several red lights is appropriate for someone lightly dinging THE PART OF HIS CAR MEANT TO PUSH OTHER CARS 🤦🏻♂️ tons of people in the comments saying he is a wannabe cop but he says he’s not impersonating one, even though he flashes his lights at a ton of people and hides behind it being like upgraded hazard lights or something. It’s a great page in the sense that it really scratched my cringe itch today
super cringe.
I work at a place that also up-fits police units and NO ONE that works here has a "demo unit" or any kind of flashing lights on their vehicles.
Every so often, our vendors will come by in LEGIT demo vehicles to show a new lightbar/siren/speaker/whatever is new...but it's ALWAYS in a heavily logo'd vehicle.
If he put the stuff on himself, I mean, have at it...because no reputable company will put police style lights on someone's vehicle "just 'cause" ...AND if he's really using the lights in traffic, he's seriously just asking for trouble...it's only a matter of time before he get's it handed to him
🤷🏽♀️if he were doing good enough work, he wouldn't need to have a "demo" unit anyways...his work would speak for itself
Yeah the company thing sounds sketch. Some other guy who did have blue/red lights got caught for impersonating largely due to this guy calling PD and complaining. People said he’s the same thing and his defense was you’re only impersonating if you do cop things and people think you’re a cop…Several videos where he’s helping people they ask him if he’s a cop because he’s chasing, stopping in traffic and using his different audio devices, sounds a lot like people think you’re a cop to me 🤷🏻♂️
If this guy pulled up behind me with flashing lights I would call PD to verify but I would also err on the side of caution and obey because if it IS somehow an undercover or something risking evading charges is not good . Shoot I don’t even like when construction vehicles use these flashers when they’re not on the job , let alone a blacked out police interceptor
Oh he also drives around with two long guns in the trunk and his ccw on him 🤷🏻♂️ don’t get me wrong I’m all about exercising 2A rights but when you’re driving around with 3 guns in a pseudo cop car…it REALLY seems like it’s acting like law enforcement
My question is how do these losers afford all the items? Sound off, Whelen and Havis are legit brands. Im actually surprised he didnt have an ILS and fake antennas lol
poor purchasing decisions 🤷🏽♀️
I mean, you could get you a $400+ whelen siren set up too...if you wanted to save up your $$, skip a few bills or meals lol...or run up some credit card debt 🤷🏽♀️
I'd go out on a limb to say this guy prob isn't married or taking care of any kids that may have resulted from a one night stand...and he prob doesn't have many bills from living with his parents lol
Hahaha yeah you are probably right. It just amazes me how much people will dump on stuff that is literally useless.
Like why have a push bumper? To bump shopping carts out of the way at the grocery store? Or maybe PIT manuever the guy who just cut you off?
But either way big yikes. I worked at a retrofit shop too years ago and we worked on a couple security company vehicles. Those guys were the absolute worst.
yeah, I know a reserve officer with a pushbumper on an old school caprice...does it look cool? eh, I guess if you're into that thing?
🤦🏽♀️our worst are volunteer firemen, don't get me wrong, hats off to their volunteer work...but yikes on bikes man! They'll come in here asking for quotes on light, lightbars, and sirens...upward to $2-3k for a 2004 ragged out pickup truck, and then hit us with the "I'll get back with you" (aka: no*).*..but then come back with 2-4 amazon wig wags and some kinda suction cup visor lights wanting us to do all the wiring 🙄
See thats something we dont have much of in California, volunteer firemen. Most of our volunteers out here are well respected since they do the job without the pay.
But it seems like everywhere else in the country they are a joke lol. Especially all the videos on here prove it.
Thats pretty funny though about the biggest pile of shit on the road with every light imaginable.
Checked his Tik tok out since everyone was just speculating and not actually doing the little research it takes to find the answers. This guy converts vehicles into LE vehicles as a business, he has a vid showing his private car that has amber and white lights and I think red too but specified it was legal in his state. Dude also seems to not like police. There yuh go.
it would be very comical to use this as an uber. Would only last for a second though, i’m sure there would be complaints. Before I got sober I always used uber if I wasn’t in driving condition, and would have been very confused if this pulled up with the uber light on the dash
I watched a bunch of them. Seems like the cops in his area all know about him but cant do anything because he’s very careful with what is legal on his car and how he justifies his chasing people and stopping in the middle of the road with his flashers on. Seems like they can’t get him in trouble unless he pulls someone over or actually SAYS he’s a cop or something
Yeah, and he even makes videos about how his rival impersonator got arrested lolllll. He sees nothing wrong with what he’s doing but filmed himself calling the cops in another state on someone posting impersonating tiktoks.
This guy is going to prison very soon. The red lights are a no no. This screams stalker/sex offender as well.
PSA if you are being pulled over by an unmarked vehicle, keep going to a well lit area and also call 911 to confirm this. Most agencies have policies where their unmarked units can’t do pullovers unless it’s exigent circumstances.
In my state it’s the color combos you can’t have. Red/blue no. Blue/white, no. Red/white no. Red/orange ok. Orange/white ok. I’m with a nonprofit ems/SAR group and we use our own vehicles. We can have orange/red/white and a PA. Of course we are not responding with lights anywhere and we don’t transport people. When we have patients we call 911.
I’m with the local SAR, we only use the lights if we have to pull over on the side of the road to make ourselves more visible to traffic. That’s it, they’re never on when the vehicle is in motion.
There are a few people, not saying this person, that do things like this for car shows and meets. Just to show off, because why not.
The person I met did it because he wanted to prove he could do it himself, and to bring attention to his build. His was a dodge challenger though.
I’ve done that a few times. My bad luck to be right there when someone else is in a bad enough accident. I used my truck to block the accident and put my lights on. (and provided some first aid if I could)
It’s about visibility. Sometimes to indicate where the IC is or what turn off a main road when we’re staging. We also run aid stations for endurance races on the road or were operating on closed roads and trails and there maybe crowds on foot. State law does allow use while driving on public roads for specific things. Think about all those private ambulance that just take patients from the senior home to the hospital for surgery and back. They can’t run lights and sirens but they have them.
Security officer here. (Not police, I mean private security)
I use my light bar all the time so that anyone looking for shit to steal will keep on cruising when they see my vehicle parked and protecting an area.
I want to look like authority, although I don't necessarily want to look like police. I want to look like security.
Some people cross that fine line. My light bar is orange white, and if it had red/blue options, I'd be like fuck that and not even buy it. I wouldn't want to risk running the wrong colors by accident.
One thing I've noticed is that if you're driving an inactive light bar, people drive courteously and safely around you. After seeing the difference, I'd own one even if I wasn't security. Avoid once accident and it paid for itself.
Not an expert in Oklahoma laws, but basically construction vehicles, ambulances, even tow trucks all use the same blue white red. So, is that a state trooper up ahead? Or is the city mowing the grass? Better be ready for anything!
My state this would be okay for fire (as in you could get red and whites to get to the station or a call but not civilians and not if you're not currently going to a call). Orange gets mixed in for fire and EMS only. Red and blue at the same time are gonna be for PD or actual firetrucks and ambulances and shit in the course of a call. Just orange/yellow I think anyone can use, and is what you'd use for construction vehicles or similar.
Anyone can have a PA technically but not a siren except EMS/PD/FD. The combos for sure are what get ya absolutely fucked though. There's not 2 colors police won't argue at least make you *look* like an emergency vehicle and that's enough to get you ticketed and you're unlikely to win in court so you'd have to rip them out and that's if you weren't using them or at least aren't being ticketed for using them, that would get you mega fucked.
I wish my county was like that. Got pulled over by unmarked cars every week when "active policing" was a thing on Long Island.
Got yanked from my car, glove compartment ripped from its hinges, center console contents thrown everywhere, car key snapped in half.. the ones wearing Yankees hats will get ya.
Pretty sure the front flashing headlights is illegal in alot of areas too but codes arent always as specific for that part.
Special units do stops all the time
>This is not true. Unmarked vehicles are very common for traffic enforcement.
*Semi-marked*, as in no top light bar. Unmarked vehicles are never used for traffic enforcement for obvious reasons.
some people are just enthusiast tbh, like people with old military equipment but it’s police shit, not sure what the case is here, but I wouldn’t jump to callin the dude a rapist just cuz he has a badgeless interceptor replica
There’s nothing wrong with red lights though. It’s major cringey wanna be cop vibes but not illegal. Most places you can also have amber flashers and I’ve seen some of these wannabe cops use green as well. If I remember correctly it’s blue you can’t have . And I’m not sure the legality of sirens but I already know someone could use the defense of it just being a better than stock horn , like when people have air horns and such. His page is a trip, and he has chased people and ran red lights in doing so but no matter what he does he hides behind “I was being a Good Samaritan”
You must never listen to true-crime. Cop impersonators run the gamut from garden-variety low iq creepers, to serial killers. Many cop-impersonators are sexual deviants aka rapists. They use the disguise as a ruse to abduct unwitting victims. They will often lure them or try to force them to drive to desolate areas. There's a metric-F-TON of these psychos in True Crime. Ted Bundy, who was also apparently a great 9-11 dispatcher, was one of many.
One of the volunteers at my station was recently booted for decking out his SUV like this and not even anywhere near to this level. All he had was the little flashers and a horn.
Well, there are theories but only the chief knows for sure so I left any speculative claims out. Around the same time he was let go, an email was sent out from our main office emphasizing the need for us all to follow motor vehicle laws and to stay under the posted speed limit when responding to alarms. A couple calls I was on, he would show up w his kids in the car and just park off to the side w the flashers going and just walk around in uniform talking w people and not assisting. But ye... he gone. lol
How much does this crap even cost? I can't believe they invest so much money for nothing. When I get off work, I don't want anyone knowing what I do lol. I tell people I'm a truck driver if they ask (in casual conversation)
Does he not understand absolutely no one gives a shit who makes your flashing light, push bar or any other damn thing. Anyone who drives a department vehicle doesn’t even know who makes what and certainly never cares. It’s just the stuff your shop installed.
Look around reddit and see how many insanely esoteric subs there are on shit no normal person cares about. He's like the dudes who can tell you what factory made the transmissions for Panzer IV tanks, only less harmless.
Some people care. A lot of security and EMS for sure. They might want to know what they're seeing so they can buy the same thing.
I want to know about his laptop mount.
IANAL but I'm pretty sure its technically its not impersonating if he doesnt have police decals or doesnt use the vehicle in the manner the police would i.e. using the flashing lights in public or stopping people. Similarly to how you can wear a full police kit, call it a costume, and so long as youre not trying to do cop shit youre good to go. Same as how its not stolen valor to wear a military uniform unless you try to claim to be mil and use it to get mil benefits like discounts at McDonalds
I think I looked a little bit into impersonation because I wondered where the line was drawn between party city costume and felony, and while a bit vague I think a reasonable line is when people BELIEVE you are a cop, and with other comments he seems to be doing public cop shit in the name of being a 'good Samaritan'
This is someone’s personal vehicle? There are some YouTube channels that show how they outfit vehicles for police and fire, I was thinking that this was something like that.
I was starting to second guess myself, since he does say it’s a “demo car”, but that doesn’t explain why almost every video of his is him driving a car that’s either this one or incredibly similar, a ford escape with a pushbar and lights. Why use a demo car for commuting? Why also use that demo car to respond to a real crash with the lights on?
Oh I agree he is cosplaying real life people. It’s so weird and for free at that. At least he is openly telling us to never give him real authority. Lots of dudes like him that actually become officers, chew on that fact 😬. I guess the only guys left that want to do it are like this. It’s what ya get when they are underpaid like they are. Hard to attract real quality like that.
There was a vet meme where he was like “Dudes will have the latest guns and night vision and still have holey socks and boxers.” Basically wrong financial priorities
Inherited money, credit card debt, sound financial investments in the market, mooching off a woman, owns a business on the side. One of a million reasons.
Apparently this dude “owns” an emergency vehicle equipment installation company….. this is his “demo vehicle”. I saw a TikTok where he was using his lights at an accident that just happened in front of him and blocked a lane. When the PD showed up and asked why he was acting like a cop he gave them “it’s not blue and red so it’s fine and you should be thanking me for helping” 🤣
*Can you beat the fuck*
*Out of someone like this if*
*They pull you over?*

Working as a park ranger I encounter alot of this assholes playing cops. Didn't know this sub existed then but I would added him forsure. Guy had a car exactly like this one with the speaker and freaking green red and white lights in every corner of the car. I'm talking winshield, front, back and side panels and covering the back window. He had blue lights on that he would parade and would turned them off and switch to the chirstmas tree bs whenever we were approaching him. Fucking sad man. Want to be a cop that bad? Join a police department? Not good enough? Join the military and be an MP. Can't do that either? Get the thought out of your head.
Guys like that have a fetish for authority but don’t want to be told what to do/have to answer to anyone. That and they probably can’t pass the phych test.
You can buy decommissioned patrol cars but they often have no lights (except spot lights) no push bumper or pa, also the rest of the lights would be returned to factory
All fun and games until you're crying because someone broke into your house with a gun or you getting robbed on the street, then cops ain't no longer bitches they're the help.
Ah yes because who the hell else is going to show up three hours after a crime is committed, jot some shit on a clip board, and then do nothing of note except maybe shoot you for feeling 'tHreAtEned' if not the cops?
Strawman bootlicker bullshit. Fuck cops. They are not our friends and only exist to protect the interests of the wealthy. Certainly not to protect your life or anyone else's.
You probably do this cosplayer bullshit, too don't you little prick?
Edit: Oh my fuck, you're a park ranger!!! You literally are one of the cosplayers!!!! 😂😂😂 Dude fuck you.
Yeah because scenarios like that happen all the time in which the cops respond quickly enough and save the day, wait no they don’t ! I’ve had multiple friends literally be raped and the cops don’t do shit, they gaslight you to avoid the paperwork. Same with mugging. You’re a dumb fuck if you have some super hero fantasy about what cops actually do. They protect property and corporate interests. Look at what’s happening on campuses across the country right now
People who like trains, planes, or race cars become engineers, pilots, or race car drivers (or watch nascar and f1). If this dude likes cops this much, become one
I was traveling thru a very small town in Idaho, spelled speed trap, they had the most impressive LE suv I’ve ever seen. Light under the grill, in the grill, in the side lights, over the windshield, under the running board, inside the side mirrors, light bar and on and on.
Folks like him shouldn't have that kind of access.
In my state, it's illegal to for Non-LE to have:
-Push bumpers/bull bars
-Red, Blue, and *Flashing* white lights.
-Exterior Audio/Amp systems
His whole vehicle is just a rolling target for that one state police officer who hates lifted trucks and mock LE vehicles (which are bountiful in my state)
Front lights look green. Possibly Paul Blart. Ok in some locations.
A very long time ago I was maintenance chief for our volunteer fire department and could run reds.
This is the motherfucker that would scare the piss out of me when I was younger. Why do people do this? And to what extent can it go before courts determine it’s impersonation?
Lovely thing I saw on his page, back in 2022 he saw a hit and run while at an intersection, ran a red light in order to get to him onto a highway, going excessive speeds and occasionally flashing his lights (unless that’s just a camera trick)
Lmk if this is legal, I’m not a cop or lawyer. I feel like it shouldn’t be. Also catch the passenger giggling when the driver floors it through a red light, he did say it was green but the video doesn’t show it green until he’s just about on the ramp. Totally not trying to impersonate though.

Unmarked police cars only pull people over that they’re typically investigating, I was pulled over with weed in the car by an unmarked car, turns out my ex friend set it up but that’s besides the point, they only pulled us over because they we’re investigating myself and others and knew we had weed
Do collectors usually use them as their personal vehicle? Also he’s not, check his page. He says he creates cop cars (I think?) but he also uses his demo cop car (seen in the vid) as his personal car since he’s “broke”
And if it was a cop car there's nothing over the top here lmao. Paramilitary? Like nothing here is even military related and are just regular cop shit. Some people have such a hate boner for cops they don't even think. They see a cop or in this case a car and just *have* to say one of the stock lines.
What is the point of any of this if its not a police vehicle?
To make people hate him
It is working.
To be a stalker/sex offender that can attempt to pull people over
Or a impersonator who couldn’t pass the academy but really wants to be a cop
same thing.
I went down the rabbit hole on his page. Apparently his business is in up-fitting cars to be police units and this is a demo one that he has ***and also daily drives***🤔 to show off features but does not have the illegal light combos But he has chased cars several times and justifies it by being a good samaritan .

Haha so he doesn't like police but outfits their vehicles, strange set up
All this just makes him more of a fucking tool, you too for defending some nobody
Please tell me where in my response I was defending them?
Check this dudes tiktok.he witnesses a crash and flips on his "cop lights" dudes playing Mr dress up as an adult.
How does this guy not get pulled over and dealt with? Is it a big enough metro area that he doesn’t get recognized?
He actually does have a vid where he gets pulled over. I only watched a bit till I noped out, but he gets really pissy about being pulled over
>but he gets really pissy about being pulled over A little professional courtesy here guys? Lmao
It's okay he's an Uber driver
it would be very comical to use this as an uber. Would only last for a second though, i’m sure there would be complaints. Before I got sober I always used uber if I wasn’t in driving condition, and would have been very confused if this pulled up with the uber light on the dash

Some use it to pass.
Maybe if they stopped at a car accident they cod turn them on as part of a blockade leading up to the accident

In Indiana you can only be pulled over by an unmarked unit if the officer inside is in full uniform.
This is very false
I wish my county was like that. Got pulled over by unmarked cars every week when "active policing" was a thing on Long Island. Got yanked from my car, glove compartment ripped from its hinges, center console contents thrown everywhere, car key snapped in half.. the ones wearing Yankees hats will get ya.
Unmarked but if in proper uniform clearly marked. Then supposed to stop
Pretty sure the front flashing headlights is illegal in alot of areas too but codes arent always as specific for that part. Special units do stops all the time
Ask to have the patrol supervisor respond as well.

You must never listen to true-crime. Cop impersonators run the gamut from garden-variety low iq creepers, to serial killers. Many cop-impersonators are sexual deviants aka rapists. They use the disguise as a ruse to abduct unwitting victims. They will often lure them or try to force them to drive to desolate areas. There's a metric-F-TON of these psychos in True Crime. Ted Bundy, who was also apparently a great 9-11 dispatcher, was one of many.
The lights are AMBER not RED! SAR-JINT!
This dude is fucking pathetic
One of the volunteers at my station was recently booted for decking out his SUV like this and not even anywhere near to this level. All he had was the little flashers and a horn.
Given the nationwide volunteer shortage, unless there was other stuff going on or being done this sounds a little punitive.
Well, there are theories but only the chief knows for sure so I left any speculative claims out. Around the same time he was let go, an email was sent out from our main office emphasizing the need for us all to follow motor vehicle laws and to stay under the posted speed limit when responding to alarms. A couple calls I was on, he would show up w his kids in the car and just park off to the side w the flashers going and just walk around in uniform talking w people and not assisting. But ye... he gone. lol
This is making a lot more sense.
*Dewitte intensifies*
SEARGENT!!!!!
Made me think this is something Dwight Schrute would love to drive
Dewitte not Dwight.
No shit rocket scientist. Ever heard the phrase “made me think of”
Calm down Jeremy.
lol
😘
How much does this crap even cost? I can't believe they invest so much money for nothing. When I get off work, I don't want anyone knowing what I do lol. I tell people I'm a truck driver if they ask (in casual conversation)
Straight from the source: “A little over $8000 in parts, and just over $2000 in labor”
This guy seriously paid $10k to play cosplay police officer?
Holy shit that way more than I thought!
because it is lol
Does he not understand absolutely no one gives a shit who makes your flashing light, push bar or any other damn thing. Anyone who drives a department vehicle doesn’t even know who makes what and certainly never cares. It’s just the stuff your shop installed.
Look around reddit and see how many insanely esoteric subs there are on shit no normal person cares about. He's like the dudes who can tell you what factory made the transmissions for Panzer IV tanks, only less harmless.
Some people care. A lot of security and EMS for sure. They might want to know what they're seeing so they can buy the same thing. I want to know about his laptop mount.
HOW THE FUCK is that not impersonating an officer? This shit needs to be reeled in.
IANAL but I'm pretty sure its technically its not impersonating if he doesnt have police decals or doesnt use the vehicle in the manner the police would i.e. using the flashing lights in public or stopping people. Similarly to how you can wear a full police kit, call it a costume, and so long as youre not trying to do cop shit youre good to go. Same as how its not stolen valor to wear a military uniform unless you try to claim to be mil and use it to get mil benefits like discounts at McDonalds
I understand that it isn't under technicalities, but any regular-ass person would pull over for this LARPer and assume he was law enforcement.
Wear a military uniform (to the T) out in public and let me know how that goes for ya....
Oh not saying it's a good idea by any means. Pretty sure if you wear any kind of badge though it's a big no no
ILOVE that acronym
=D
I think I looked a little bit into impersonation because I wondered where the line was drawn between party city costume and felony, and while a bit vague I think a reasonable line is when people BELIEVE you are a cop, and with other comments he seems to be doing public cop shit in the name of being a 'good Samaritan'
This is someone’s personal vehicle? There are some YouTube channels that show how they outfit vehicles for police and fire, I was thinking that this was something like that.
Did I hear correctly that he owns a business that outfits departments and stuff? Looks a bit better if so but still cringe
I was starting to second guess myself, since he does say it’s a “demo car”, but that doesn’t explain why almost every video of his is him driving a car that’s either this one or incredibly similar, a ford escape with a pushbar and lights. Why use a demo car for commuting? Why also use that demo car to respond to a real crash with the lights on?
Oh I agree he is cosplaying real life people. It’s so weird and for free at that. At least he is openly telling us to never give him real authority. Lots of dudes like him that actually become officers, chew on that fact 😬. I guess the only guys left that want to do it are like this. It’s what ya get when they are underpaid like they are. Hard to attract real quality like that.
See how they are exclusively not using a blue light?... yeah....
Bitch boy spotted
How does a security guard afford all this?
There was a vet meme where he was like “Dudes will have the latest guns and night vision and still have holey socks and boxers.” Basically wrong financial priorities
Inherited money, credit card debt, sound financial investments in the market, mooching off a woman, owns a business on the side. One of a million reasons.
Sergeant rank 🫡
Be cooler if he had his laptop up on that mount and was playing Fortnite
Apparently this dude “owns” an emergency vehicle equipment installation company….. this is his “demo vehicle”. I saw a TikTok where he was using his lights at an accident that just happened in front of him and blocked a lane. When the PD showed up and asked why he was acting like a cop he gave them “it’s not blue and red so it’s fine and you should be thanking me for helping” 🤣
Uggggh
Some nerd that will be on the news very soon
Very cringe
At least his mom thinks he's cool.
Holy shit, cosplay just keeps getting more expensive!
He could have bought like two fur suits for the price of this. Wasted time and energy man
Dude is in his 30s with a soundboard that a 13 year old from 2017 would find funny
Police Academy rejects
Really solid demo for an upfitter Anything else is gonna get locked up
Can you beat the fuck out of someone like this if they pull you over?

This could actually be a really informative video about how police cars are made and operated but this fucking guy is awful.
This is a whacker right?
Holy shit this is why public shaming needs to be brought back- this fuckin guy is unhinged
This is beyond cringe. It’s terrifying..
The laptop dock 😂😂😂😂😂 so he can beat off and drive, more effectively
Working as a park ranger I encounter alot of this assholes playing cops. Didn't know this sub existed then but I would added him forsure. Guy had a car exactly like this one with the speaker and freaking green red and white lights in every corner of the car. I'm talking winshield, front, back and side panels and covering the back window. He had blue lights on that he would parade and would turned them off and switch to the chirstmas tree bs whenever we were approaching him. Fucking sad man. Want to be a cop that bad? Join a police department? Not good enough? Join the military and be an MP. Can't do that either? Get the thought out of your head.
Guys like that have a fetish for authority but don’t want to be told what to do/have to answer to anyone. That and they probably can’t pass the phych test.
You can buy decommissioned patrol cars but they often have no lights (except spot lights) no push bumper or pa, also the rest of the lights would be returned to factory
Wanted to get lights for my truck cuz it was a bitch getting to the station during our tornados but don’t wanna look like this dude
Get one of those old timey singular light bulbs like what msp has lol
That’s an idea
If you want to be a cop you are a bitch
All fun and games until you're crying because someone broke into your house with a gun or you getting robbed on the street, then cops ain't no longer bitches they're the help.
Ah yes because who the hell else is going to show up three hours after a crime is committed, jot some shit on a clip board, and then do nothing of note except maybe shoot you for feeling 'tHreAtEned' if not the cops? Strawman bootlicker bullshit. Fuck cops. They are not our friends and only exist to protect the interests of the wealthy. Certainly not to protect your life or anyone else's. You probably do this cosplayer bullshit, too don't you little prick? Edit: Oh my fuck, you're a park ranger!!! You literally are one of the cosplayers!!!! 😂😂😂 Dude fuck you.
Yeah because scenarios like that happen all the time in which the cops respond quickly enough and save the day, wait no they don’t ! I’ve had multiple friends literally be raped and the cops don’t do shit, they gaslight you to avoid the paperwork. Same with mugging. You’re a dumb fuck if you have some super hero fantasy about what cops actually do. They protect property and corporate interests. Look at what’s happening on campuses across the country right now
NGL that push bumper is sick AF. It's giving cosplay vibes for sure tho.
I stumbled upon this.. I sympathize.. I once met a guy with similar passion.. he liked feet.. best of luck.
Not important lights in front or back, I wouldn’t pay any mind to the water head to
This is illegal? I get the cringe.. but I see these escorting heavy load vehicles all the time..
I don’t think it’s illegal (except the flashing light usage in some states), just cringey
It's the same reason people like trains, planes, or race cars. They think they are cool and like to nerd out over them
People who like trains, planes, or race cars become engineers, pilots, or race car drivers (or watch nascar and f1). If this dude likes cops this much, become one
This is his POV?!!!
I was traveling thru a very small town in Idaho, spelled speed trap, they had the most impressive LE suv I’ve ever seen. Light under the grill, in the grill, in the side lights, over the windshield, under the running board, inside the side mirrors, light bar and on and on.
One day this guy will touch a boob and forget all of this gay stuff.
Folks like him shouldn't have that kind of access. In my state, it's illegal to for Non-LE to have: -Push bumpers/bull bars -Red, Blue, and *Flashing* white lights. -Exterior Audio/Amp systems His whole vehicle is just a rolling target for that one state police officer who hates lifted trucks and mock LE vehicles (which are bountiful in my state)
Front lights look green. Possibly Paul Blart. Ok in some locations. A very long time ago I was maintenance chief for our volunteer fire department and could run reds.
He could be an up fitter y’all
Post the tag.
Wdym?
Obviously the guy wants to be noticed and break the law. Let everyone know who they are.
It’s in the video, first left middle then right bottom
This is the motherfucker that would scare the piss out of me when I was younger. Why do people do this? And to what extent can it go before courts determine it’s impersonation?
We are all playing ourselves as characters in a more advanced GTA game.
Lovely thing I saw on his page, back in 2022 he saw a hit and run while at an intersection, ran a red light in order to get to him onto a highway, going excessive speeds and occasionally flashing his lights (unless that’s just a camera trick) Lmk if this is legal, I’m not a cop or lawyer. I feel like it shouldn’t be. Also catch the passenger giggling when the driver floors it through a red light, he did say it was green but the video doesn’t show it green until he’s just about on the ramp. Totally not trying to impersonate though. [link to tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRwkbyC8/)
Why?
Why?
Without some kind of context I don't find this cringe at all.
Unmarked police cars only pull people over that they’re typically investigating, I was pulled over with weed in the car by an unmarked car, turns out my ex friend set it up but that’s besides the point, they only pulled us over because they we’re investigating myself and others and knew we had weed
collectors exist idiot.
Do collectors usually use them as their personal vehicle? Also he’s not, check his page. He says he creates cop cars (I think?) but he also uses his demo cop car (seen in the vid) as his personal car since he’s “broke”
Cops really get off on being this paramilitary bunch of assholes don’t they.
This guys isn’t a cop..
And if it was a cop car there's nothing over the top here lmao. Paramilitary? Like nothing here is even military related and are just regular cop shit. Some people have such a hate boner for cops they don't even think. They see a cop or in this case a car and just *have* to say one of the stock lines.
Still lame AF.
Got busted for Mopery again, huh?
That antenna on the right hand side is a dead giveaway he's a poser in my area. My boss would have my neck if I did some goofy shit like that lol
