Does this apply when you're not fooling any person? As in, you're not trying to impersonate a police officer per se, you're fooling the vehicle's police detection into assuming a police vehicle is coming.
- DrScump 11y agoIt's illegal to have a forward-facing red light at all (for one example)... even if it's not turned on.
- hinoka 11y ago> you're fooling the vehicle's police detection Sounds like impersonation to me. The "person" in impersonation refers to the entity being imitated, not the entity being deceived.
- anon4 11y agoYeah, but is a couple of infrared lights enough to be considered "police"? What if I yell "VWEEEWOOOWEEEOOO" and someone mistakes that for a legitimate police siren -- am I still impersonating police, or is that person incredibly stupid?
- DanBC 11y agointent matters. If you say "Here's some infra-red lights. They simulate enough of a police car for other cars to change their behaviours" you're not going to have a fun time in court.
- brazzledazzle 11y agoWhy does everyone think that the entire law system is like tax code and finance laws? You (usually) can't just break a law because you found a technical loophole.
