I’m not sure it was the wisest idea to put the rainbows on the vehicles in the first place. Is someone panicking, with visual or cognitive impairment, at night, going to instantly recognise it?
I've seen loads of police vans like this. It's only part of the van and they're just as recognisable as before IMO.
A sticker isn't going to hide a full on cop car. Like imagine you're in an emergency, you see a black and white car that has all the markings of a cop car, but it has a rainbow sticker, are you going to ignore it because of a 2x3 sticker?
Your point is stupid and invalid.
Well, seeing as police vehicles aren’t black and white…..
And if you took a look at the picture, it replaces the battenberg on the back half of the van, with a logo that highlights the letters BT, so it looks a bit like a telecoms van.
Police vehicles are almost exclusively black and white.
They are almost exclusively white or silver, with blue and yellow battenberg on each side, and red and yellow warning chevron on the back. The high-conspicuity police livery was developed by the police R&D labs in the 1990s and became standard across Britain from around 2004.
I can’t think of a force that used black and white rather than light blue and white. Maybe there were some long ago.
In the US, they are almost all black and white, occasionally with green for sheriffs and highway patrol.

Something about stupid and invalid points?
So you already have color on your police cars, but a small rainbow sticker makes them unrecognizable? I don't think you're making the point you think you are.
