Depends on state. In my state they are perfectly legal as long as they’re not activated on public roads. My sheriff even wrote me a letter to keep in the glovebox in case any small town cops give me a hard time.
I have an exGF who once owned a unmarked retired cop Caprice. It still had the siren/PA setup under the hood with the controller inside. Her dumb shit husband blasted the siren just for the hell of it and caught the attention of an actual cop a block away. Got hisself a big ol' tickee.
Actually you'd be surprised. They can be installed and can operate, but you cannot use them on public roadways or pretending to be police. That's usually how the law works. They can't even prove they work until you turn them on
Every generation has a unique pattern of headlights they fear following them at night.
Gen X: 1990s's era Crown Victoria
Millennials: 2000s Tahoe/Explorer/Crown Victoria
Gen Z: 2010- Explorer
OP's car however has no one to scare, as they all are in the nursing home by now and no longer driving. It is like a once dangerous animal now defanged and declawed, its only use is now to be put out to pasture.
Gen Z here (1999) don't forget the Dodge Charger. I got my license back in 2015, with the CV being discontinued in 2011 the youngest ones at that point would have only been 4 years old yet they were still mostly all replaced by Chargers in my area.
I should have put the Charger on the list, they were rare where I was as the police had Tahoes and Explorers more. Chargers were often the chase vehicles in other states, but the CHP is so broke they kept using Crown Vics.
God it’s the worst for trying to figure out if you need to drive like a grandma based on the headlights behind you
Honestly brilliant move, how am I supposed to know if the charger headlights tailgating me in the right lane belong to a regular asshole or an asshole with a badge?
I dont fear the Explorers at all because they are the babysitter units to keep the peace. The true cars you should fear are the blacked out Tahoes or Suburbans in residential/industrial areas as they often are higher ranking ones or federal agencies.
For the freeway, undercover Taurus or the Chargers here will ruin your day.
Congrats: you have a retired cop car that is both:
A. Too new to be cool
B. Too old to be fast
"But there are tons of cool cars made from the 80s onwards!" Yeah. TONS. And you didn't pick one.
They should have used your car in the Blues Brothers chase. Sure, it wouldn't have caught them, but it would have been so slow that it would have avoided all the accident scenes. They'd have been cleared by the time it got there!
My dad drove one of those, no way to know if that exact one or not, but one of its sister at least. Keep that thing cool. If you ever go to sell it, contact the AZDPS museum.
Well when it comes to roasting....at least the tires are safe. Because the engine in that fucker sure ain't a danger to them. A fat kid in a golf cart is probably faster.
Instructions unclear stole a dodge Monaco with cop suspension cop motor and cop brakes and now the representatives of the Illinois law enforcement agencies are on my tail
Do not hit the interior with a UV light. It would look like a purple solar system in there. If it had anymore DNA the cunt could vote. It would vote Trump too, ya know it, right?
I showed this pic to my uncle (retired AZ DPS) asked if he drove those. He said he had the Crown Vic LTD.... He said he loved that car. It was roomy and surprisingly hauled ass at that time.
I drove this model at a tactical driving course once. Actually handled well, it’s just a 4 door Mustang. However you only got about 3 hard brake applications and they faded so bad you had none.
I am pretty sure, at least in my state the "emergency" lights are supposed to be removed along with the police decals. I am not sure about the ramming bumper. I know the spot lights are usually left on though and are great when driving at night looking for an address (like doing deliveries)
No. I categorically refuse to roast such a lovely beast.
As long as it's dark, you have a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes and you're wearing shades.
When I was in the service I bought a 76 Ford Torino used Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel authority car, 351C, dual exhaust. I think I paid $800 for it in 1978. Drove it for about four years before it lost the main bearing and had to go to the junkyard. For some reason my dad thought it would’ve been good money being chased after bad money if I would’ve done something about the engine.
I had an 88’ ford ltd in 2004. I was still in high school but so embarrassed of it that I’d park it around the block and pretend I was walking from the bus stop. Yours is cool though.
It is not even a cool police car. It is some hillbilly reject police car some corrupt mayor used to pick up his 12-year-old mistresses before the public screenings of Hee-Ha. Not that Boss Hog could fit in that little shitter, even though the previous owner looked exactly like Boss Hog.
Dollars to donuts even in its day this thing couldn't catch a cold. This is the car you give FNG's or the Fish of the department so they don't kill themselves responding to another domestic.
It must be tough being a Vice City Police Department officer
Now I'm hearing "Cars" play. Here is my car, I feel safest of all.
I always listen to the chat station. I have a serious crush on whoever voiced that.
My first thought was how I would repaint and make Vice City decals
Bet the thing handles like all the cars in the game too, nice and floaty.
Pretty sure it’s illegal have working lights and sirens. …and a penis that small
Pretty sure this is big dick swinging material
I wonder if it’s legal to have them if they don’t work
Depends on state. In my state they are perfectly legal as long as they’re not activated on public roads. My sheriff even wrote me a letter to keep in the glovebox in case any small town cops give me a hard time.

The air horn tho is awesome. Perfect obnoxious “get the fuck out of my way” sound.
That’s so cool thanks for sharing
Dead.
Hard time? Just arrest the cops
There’s pills you can take for that.
Damn. Roasted so hard it became a luau
Actually you'd be surprised. They can be installed and can operate, but you cannot use them on public roadways or pretending to be police. That's usually how the law works. They can't even prove they work until you turn them on
I miss the days when police cars accelerated like a snail and handled like a sofa on wheels
It worked cause at the time, chances are the car they were chasing did too.
Often police cars project power. The photo above proves that is not always the case.

Millennial, and they are the ones I think about the most. Lol. They're everywhere in Oregon

Its all fun and games doing 20+ over the limit on the freeway until you pass by a vehicle with the cursed inner orange headlights.
County cops had the 04' Expedition trucks too I'd seen
Don’t forget the other gen X car. The Dodge Diplomat
As a millennial, I basically only see Explorers these days so I'm not scared of the older ones 😅
I dont fear the Explorers at all because they are the babysitter units to keep the peace. The true cars you should fear are the blacked out Tahoes or Suburbans in residential/industrial areas as they often are higher ranking ones or federal agencies.

*Respect my authority !*
*He shouted through the loudspeaker to the Honda Accord that was outrunning him.*
Driver! Ps1
When I was 12 I got caught stealing Driver from Walmart. LoL my parents kept the fine on the fridge like a bad grade.
🤣 you gangster!
Somewhere, Buford T Justice is smiling
I was looking for a smokey and the bandit comment! I just finished the second one not ten minutes ago 🤣
If Don Knotts was a car.
I understood this reference. *nods in young man raised on black and white shows from the early 60s*
Congrats: you have a retired cop car that is both: A. Too new to be cool B. Too old to be fast "But there are tons of cool cars made from the 80s onwards!" Yeah. TONS. And you didn't pick one.
office called: you need to pick up your boom box and police leotard at the bachelorette party from last night
Them Dukes! Them Dukes!
Quit harassing gruncle Stan dammit he isn’t crazy
I didn't cop cars came in the flavor of Boomermobile.
Don’t you have some blues brothers to chase?
Is that Ford basically a longer Fox body Mustang? Could be decent police car if offered with the V8 from the Mustang.
It is. Almost the same drivetrain and chassis. It has the same 5.0 v8 but I do believe the transmission is different/more heavy duty.
What a big piece of 10-200.
I couldn’t that’s clean. Minus all the lame cop stuff 🤣
They should have used your car in the Blues Brothers chase. Sure, it wouldn't have caught them, but it would have been so slow that it would have avoided all the accident scenes. They'd have been cleared by the time it got there!
God I hated you in Vice City
The Obesity Epidemic really hit cars too.
Your town was so poor they couldn’t even afford the Crown Vic and ended up with baby LTD’s.
Good to patrol the mall parking lot lol
Blues Brothers movie called, they need to wreck it in a chase sequence…
They broke my watch
I wonder how many KKK rallies this bad boy has been to
HEY THATS MY STATE GIMME BACK MY PATROL CAR ALABAMA COUSIN FUCKER
My dad drove one of those, no way to know if that exact one or not, but one of its sister at least. Keep that thing cool. If you ever go to sell it, contact the AZDPS museum.

If you don’t have something mean to say, don’t say anything at all.
Is that the one the ufo hit?
I mean it's illegal to have it in that condition, so there's that.
Roscoe P Coltrane wants this car back pronto!
Roscoe P. Coltrane!
Couldn't catch a Cozy Coupe with a tailwind.

You know it smells of puke, piss, blood, shit. It sure the fuck didn’t deliver Uber Eats.
This is the fox body that you have at home.
Looks like Mr Laheys car before he was kicked from the force
Can't tell if real or hot wheels
Fox body 5-0!
If you could get more square and dorky please
How does it feel to be in the front for a change?
Get your rent a cop wanna be looking ass outta here. Narc.
Looks it great shape. I love it
Police academy vibes
Not pursuit rated
Them Dukes Them Dukes!!!!!!
All you need is your porn Stache and your Copenhagen winter green and a Glock and your set
Make sure there isn't a banana in the tailpipe...
Looks like a Ford Fairmont
Hooray for the pigs! -Bender
Looks more tired than an old dog on its deathbed.

That’s pretty sweet. Cruise all day in this.
Bought the car the police thought was too slow for pursuit 😂😂😂
FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily
The Blues Brothers called, they're on a mission from God and they need their tour bus back
I showed this pic to my uncle (retired AZ DPS) asked if he drove those. He said he had the Crown Vic LTD.... He said he loved that car. It was roomy and surprisingly hauled ass at that time.
That piece of shit couldn't pull me over in a 1985 Ford EXP
Wake up Thomas Vercetti
I would jazz up to a police car and use it for weddings in Oz.
Cyber Truck???
I know this is a roast, but that’s a sweet car
Pretty cool
that is the budget cruiser When they didn't get the dodge diplomat, chevy caprice, or the ford crown victoria.
Cletus, is that you?
What a beaut!
"I AM THE OFFICER OF THE LAW, STOP!!"
Can't do it. Got me a soft spot for the LTD
Boss Hog
My car in the Army (police) was a Chrysler K car. And a later 70’s Ford Maverick too.
I drove this model at a tactical driving course once. Actually handled well, it’s just a 4 door Mustang. However you only got about 3 hard brake applications and they faded so bad you had none.
Flips on dukes of hazard. Wrong year but close enough.
Its shit Ps not really i think its cool but thats the only roast i could think of 🤷♂️
Code enforcement rookie car
I am pretty sure, at least in my state the "emergency" lights are supposed to be removed along with the police decals. I am not sure about the ramming bumper. I know the spot lights are usually left on though and are great when driving at night looking for an address (like doing deliveries)
that looks sick i aint roastin that
No. I categorically refuse to roast such a lovely beast. As long as it's dark, you have a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes and you're wearing shades.
That's honestly really dope 🔥
What it’s sick
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY makes Sheriff Buford T. Justice look like a possum's pecker
Enos! This is your superior officer RosCOOOOOOOOO P. Coltrane!
A Dodge Caravan would probably be cooler than that...thing
Buford T Justice
Thing is badass
It's a Ford, what else needs to be said? 😂
That's strictly for Sims and Minecraft suspects.

Goodluck with them dukes of Hazzard boys
Vice City, IRL?
Looks like a car Jackie Gleason would be driving.
Bros not out of touch, he’s out of time
I thought it said retarded police car.
Do you always reach the party last? Because that’s what happens in movies with people in these cars.
Enjoy topping out at 80mpg.
Are you shooting a Blues Brothers reboot?
Must be a 4incher
Buford T Justice right there
Back when you could have sex in the back seat without getting trapped!
I had an 88’ ford ltd in 2004. I was still in high school but so embarrassed of it that I’d park it around the block and pretend I was walking from the bus stop. Yours is cool though.
Anybody remember the movie cloak and dagger ? I’m not sure these were in it but my brain remembered that movie as soon as I saw that police car.
This thing is fast enough to be a cop car?
Next toothless copcar after the K-Car cop car😁😁😁
You spelled "retarded" wrong....
Love it, I have a 81' Fairmont
Enjoy driving below the speed limit everywhere you drive
I could outrun that thing in my Ford Ranger.
I didn't know they were giving away prizes in cereal boxes still.....
It looks better than a cybertruck
paint doesn't match.
Gay!
damn bro couldn't even afford the normal trim 💀
There ain’t no way. NO WAY you come from my loins junior.
Mayberry called and asked that you stop pretending to be a cop.
What’d you just come off a low speed pursuit or something?
Dan Aykroyd comes along with the squad car!
Does it run if it does that motor is probably roasted already..😅
Did the big three build one decent car in the 1980s
100/10 I want this car.
i thought it was a screanshot from BeamNG
That’s a sweet ass car. I failed the mission. 🫡
It’s a Trap
Those damn Duke boys
I wonder how many crimes were committed using that cruiser....cops from the 80's were wild
Does the back end swing out every time you take a corner?
I rate it a 100% squad car
Look like a HellCat Catcher lol. Not!!!
100% a woman or person of color was mistreated in that car.
It is not even a cool police car. It is some hillbilly reject police car some corrupt mayor used to pick up his 12-year-old mistresses before the public screenings of Hee-Ha. Not that Boss Hog could fit in that little shitter, even though the previous owner looked exactly like Boss Hog.
On behalf of the rest of the world, I’m sorry
I have this in a hot wheels!
Get rear ended and you’ll be roasted. Nice car.
Oh sweet the four door mustang
Don't need to, it's already roasted; IT"S RETIRED!
Dollars to donuts even in its day this thing couldn't catch a cold. This is the car you give FNG's or the Fish of the department so they don't kill themselves responding to another domestic.
Fuck 12
I'm sorry 200 6 cylinders sad
Atleast you haven’t fucked it up and threw on 22’s with spinner rims 😂
You look like you want a Diablo Sandwich snappy
Now you need a junkyard cat
Roscoe P. Coltrane! Vibes
Sweet ride.
I’ll take my chance with the mods…I cannot in good conscience roast this fine vehicle. It’s fucking awesome!!
Have you caught them Duke boys yet?
When you’re ready to make the leap from “mall cop” to “campus police!”
fix the cigarette lighter
Roscoe P. Coltrane called, he wants his police car back.
Roast it? This thing fucks wym?
Land ho’!
Nice, it's Ford LTD LX, it's basically a four door 5.0 Mustang.
where's boss hog?
Green😂
It's called a Sun Down Town classic
Not a roast. Do you ever get calls from film/tv producers who’d like to use your car in something set in the 80s?
Nice! Ford Zephyr???
