I'm all for a LEO stopping someone driving what looks like a police car if they don't have collector plates or are in violation of any state statutes. Thanks for your feedback (as well as all of those who responded).

I think we've done a pretty good job of "over-informing" on the responsibilities (and dangers) of driving a restored, retired police car on the public roadways. The "collector plates" aren't revelant to a majority of the members here, since most states couldn't care less about what plates are on your car (and neither do criminals).
Bill posted up a great link on page 1 that goes into all of this at length.
It is all about "image" and perception as it relates to this hobby. Door decals, meant as a "cover up", but with a badge on them, sends the wrong message. If you disagree with that opinion, you are certainly free to do so.
