Question Thanks to ALL !!

To everyone,

Thank you for all the advice, Please keep it coming..I'd love to hear all sides, and as I said, I appoligize to any/all I mightve offended with my comment earlier, BUT it really stunk knowing how WE ALL LOVE our SSP's, and for a normal NON leo guy, it really stinks to have the car now 2 months , and 5 times out on the road, and now 3 tickets already...

I gotta be honest, I am a HUGE supporter of everything our law enforcement do for us all, and a BIG supporter and supply giver when 9/11 happened..
But to call -
1) the 3rd precinct where I live
2) police hdqts
3) state troopers
all were called, and spoke with 3 different desk sgt's < which in hindsight, wish i got all their names and badges >, all told me, there was NO law about driving a restored police car on the road with all lights and insignia's from FLORIDA in N.Y.... 2 of the 3 told me as long as im not pulling people over, or abusing the authority theres no law, then directed to Police Hdqts which the person said they'd get back to me, and never did...

So I really appreciate the "luv", and any/all info you guys had for me, I just hope theres some way to beat/or have these fines dismissed, I dont wanna have to sell the car, before ever really enjoying it..

Then coming from a show at Captree state park in NY, 2 wet behind the ears rookie state park police waited for me outside to leave, and pulled me over at the entrance ramp of the park, and got me for 2 violations this time, 1- police insignia < even tho they were covered up mind you, and a Suffolk county cop came by and spoke w/ me about the car at the show, and was soo cool about car > and 1- unauth. blue lights...now mind you, I have total respect for the law, and bit my torretts syndrome tongue real hard, and watched a whole crap load of cars wizz right by me w/ no emissions, and even a drag car w/ a chute pass me while on the side of the road w/ my 10 yr old son, and all my car show paraphernalia with me, these 2 lil boys not even old enough to shoot guns, yet have them..broke my shoes..

I love writing this ticket! In California you can't even have white doors on a black car (with or without stickers). I write it every time I see it.

Yep.. They had to paint the doors black but every now and then you will see a rogue van or VW bug running around. The roof is still painted white.
