We first caught wind of this, I mean, years back and turns out to be several hobbyists in Europe that like to collect American cars and repaint them, refinish them with police and law enforcement style finishes on there," Gandhi said. "And, luckily, we've become pretty popular in a few countries."

Everyone needs a hobby.

Alex Roy's cannonball run M5 is painted like a German police car. Plenty of Americans accidentally leave misc cop equipment on their retired crown vics to cos play as police. The irony is only a small amount of the remaining population is scared of crown vics - under 30s may have never seen them used and a ton of people straight up don't spot cop cars. I can't say I see early as many retired chargers/impalas/caprices/tahoes/explorers/tauruses let alone with old equipment.
