Imagine you had a car and somehow you manage to paint/mark it so it's identical to any other police car in your area. Assuming you don't use the siren lights ( or, hell, it's your car, do whatever you want) for how long you reckon you can drive that around before someone picks up on it?

In my area it's completely legal, so long as the siren and lights aren't used. So, indefinitely. Or until the law changes.

I don't know if it's actually illegal where I am, but it would definitely result in me getting pulled over for stuff I normally get away with.
