Well that is a nice looking car. Why leave the warning equipment and ADD stuff if its just "transportation". On a side note that would make a sweet POV setup!!!!

Leave the warning equipment, I think not. Per the owner he bought it from Chicago Motors and I have never seen any of their cars listed with equipment still in it. The first spy cam picture does not show any of the equipment and the spotlight is chrome.
So he added everything you see in the interview inside and outside of the car. That dash camera is really old compared to what is out now and there is a small dash cam next to it that one gets on eBay for like $50 bucks. Adding all the antennas and cheap LED lights to make it look like a cop car. I am surprised he did not take off the hub caps, but maybe he is not smart enough to know they are hub caps.

Alright, I was assuming the place he bought it from was a dealer for used service vehicles. I didn't even bother looking them up.
In that case why the hell do u add this kind of equipment if your not going to (legally) have a use for it.... Too much money maybe??

Sadly, not that unusual when cash-strapped small agencies need to make do with what they have. I was always a proponent of rear warning for cruisers, hoping that most people will take extra notice when I was doing a MV stop. At my first agency, a small town with LE-unfriendly residents (and thus a small PD budget), the only rear warning lighting on one cruiser was a slow-flashing halogen dual-headed light on the left rear deck. It was nearly useless in sunlight. The light was a hand-me-down from several cruisers before it.

If Ii were in charge I would at least buy some Chinese knockoffs. They are better then nothing and pretty cheap, especially those Viper knockoffs I see everywhere.

Seeing that you could lose in court because those POS arnt SEA rated... ehh with them, yes nothing is betting them something... this is even more true when you have companies like Feniex that sell well built and high quiality lights that are SEA rated, but wont break the bank.

Yeah, but it has three wires in it and an outer protected casing! So he can open and close the door 88 more times before the massive car fire that was started by it not being fused on the battery.

That actually has some potential if someone would help him with his patterns and some sync. At-least it does look cool though vs some of these other ones where the install is just plain retarded and you wonder why anyone would think that is a good idea.
