Hey, I just got a '10 CV. Looking to reconnect the wires as well for security company. Where did you get a center console that operates the sirens and lights?
some actually do and they change there frequency on the radios and they disconnected the light take them out but some places keep the siren and stuff and don't say I'm wrong cause I do know cause I'm a police explore so basically I know everything about police work
false, for what we know, he does not pull people over or act upon a police officer. A police impersonator, stats that he is a police officer. Or has any insignia of the word POLICE anywhere on his person, like a badge or clothing, or on the vehicle itself, disclosing the Police Interceptor plate on the back of the vehicle which only distinguishes what type of vehicle it is.
+ProRussian GamingChannel driving a Ford Crown Vic is not illegal because I see civilians driving it all the time but putting police lights in it is illegal and he can get arrested and charged for impersonating a police officer, just giving some friendly advice
thats what i said...re read my comment. Putting flashing red,blue, or white lights IS illegal. some states allow flashing amber lights. I as well drive a 2008 ford crown vic p71. With siren, amber lights that are flashing, and PA system. never been arrested never gotten a ticket over it. I have had conversations with other officers about my crown vic.
unless you have a lot of private property to patrol why have a sirens you are going to get in a lot of trouble if you ever trun it on on the road and the police see you
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel I just said that he can use it on private property in Michigan there are a lot of used police cars around and people are robbing people acting like the police using wig wags lights so if you not the police or security you are going to get a good looking at
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yep I am in a 2009 right now with lights but I know not to turn them on on the free way and Detroit still have them Wayne County Sheriff still has them rich suburbs still have them no miles little crime even my city has one or two I am getting one for work to so if someone mad it me shoot that up
it is actually illegal to have all the police lighting due to a California law... I bought my 2000 Crown Vic Police Interceptor 3 days ago and the guy I bought it from removed the rest of the police lights and strobes that were still on the car when I first bought it... seeing that this video was posted 2 years ago I would assume they the police lighting were already removed? if not that should be taken car of...
Been pulled over twice... once by Long Beach PD, said "Gangs or other related people might shoot you or harm you..." Other time was Border Patrol, they got a kick out of it... Bullet Proof Back Plate on Seats and front door panels still...
As a volunteer firefighter it saddens me to see this. illegal use of police lights is wrong. i get that its fun but you will learn really quick when not to use them when you get pulled over. so just know that you will get a lot of crap for having this car
Only thing I could think of while watching this is that this seems a bit fishy and hella illegal. The cops in my town would pull me out the car and beat my ass if I drove that.
idk wtf state you live in man but the red and blue lights are illegal as well as the sirens if you are not a police officer, unless you got a permit from the chief of police in your town. But sweet car though.
it has hidden killswitch, only illegal if you use on public road... having them installed is not illegal only using them... California DMV Vehicle code, looked it up just in case
Just a quick "FYI" the "main" part/button is for basically switching siren; so basically you select a siren… let's say wail for exp… … when you press the "main" button, it'll switch it automatically to yelp; if you start out with yelp and press that same main button, it'll automaticall switch to phaser… … so on and so forth
No person shall drive or move or cause to be moved any vehicle or equipment upon any highway within this state with any lamp or device thereon showing or displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front thereof except for certain vehicles hereinafter provided.
RED AND BLUE LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLEGAL, ONLY ILLEGAL WHEN YOU USE THEM FOR ILLEGAL REASONS! Like trying to pull someone over, flying down the highway with lights on, Use of siren is illegal unless used on private property use of airhorn buzzer NOT ILLEGAL! Other illegal thing is if your lights have red and blue lenses.! Other than that it’s your toy it’s a show car or whatever.. Nice car man blacked out looks great!
If your hand ever slipped and you hit the lights on while going down the road that's some major jail time ! Impersonating a police officer. Half that equipment in the car HAS to be illegal, a civilian can't have access to police radio, like to be able to talk on the channel with. Isn't it illegal just to have the lights on the car ?! Any who that's a thin line your walking
It cost around $80 to list a vehicle on Ebay. Tha t eans you bought it for less than $400. How is that possible? I have been selling P71s on eBay for years now, if you find me one for less than $500 like yours, I will pay you $1000
Isn't it illegal to buy cop cars if you are NOT a cop? Plus, if you are, you are only allowed to use it when driving it to work in an EMERGENCY!! You can't just randomly pull people over. That's a serious crime.
It isn't illegal to buy an EXcop car people do it all the time they buy them off the departments. But they not leave any of that in it its just a regular car.
I've heard of some departments actually leaving a decent amount of equipment in them, since crown vics are being phased out and quite a bit of the equipment can't fit in the taurus.
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel i know i was just playing.....my cvpi have the lights and the pa also my cousin works for the sheriff department he said its fine As long as I don't impersonate a cop.
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel your Right about that because i was trying to find a Chevrolet caprice 9c1 but i cant lol but my next's car will be a charger police car .
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea thats what i was looking for & i live in los Angeles ca theres a lot of chargers but LAPD don't care about there cars.
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea the stuff they do to the crown Victoria is awesome they refurbish program is kind of hight but its Worth it To keep your car going because its not a lot of people that can fixs them.
Did you look up the definition of private road? Here in vermont a public highway is any surface open permanently or temporarily to the general circulation of traffic. IE a parking lot is considered public highway. I imagine its the same in CA... Grow up.
Hey, I just got a '10 CV. Looking to reconnect the wires as well for security company. Where did you get a center console that operates the sirens and lights?
in my state, if a cop sees a "look-a-like" car will pull you over and will make you flash your lights, if they flash blue, you are impersonating and officer and will be fined or jailed as such
+Ryne Griswold Just be cautious because you reattaching the lights and stuff can get you in serious trouble. It amounts to impersonation of a Police Officer. You clearly have no authority to operate red/blue lights anywhere.
$ 400 dollars for a car like that? What was the catch? That is cheap. I got three, one is silver, the other grey and the other stone. Unless you are in law enforcement you cannot drive that car on a public road with all that equipment they will confiscate the car and they will take you away. If I was you I would remove all that police equipment and the siren in the front. The way things are going in this world everyone is edgy so if you do not want problems with them don't use that equipment. Remove it. The car does look good.
Thats a real old light and siren system in it! And it seems like its messed up but i hope you are a police officer undercover narc or drive an unmarked vehicle because that's illegal and impersonating an officer you can get in bug trouble and it just makes you look like a wannabe because you cant be a cop!
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea or else people think your impersonating a police officer lol but you should be fine all they carry about is not using any police lights and I'm in th US to lol
I'm a Firefighter. Currently looking into law enforcement. And this vechicel is ex police Car. And they police departments take everything out of these vehicles when they sell them. Wich means he is most likely pretending to be a police officer or he got it like this. But highly illegal.
My brother bought one, they police department took out the red and blue lights from the back window and the trunk. But they left the ones in the grille and on the mirrors, and a orange light bar in the back, and the strobe controller in the trunk
Cops sell ex cop cars all the time usually actioned off. But they don't get the lights radios or anything except maybe the strobe bulbs in the blinkers but that's cause it's so hard to take them out but their not useable.
Fake, there's no way a department released a squad with all off that stuff still in there. It's worth thousands, and then only getting it for $900, what ever.
You'd be surprised at how low departments sell their cars for. I have an 03 vic with 150k miles that was sold by the sheriff's department for $500. The car is worth about $1k more than that, they just sell really cheap to get rid of them
Dude have fun in jail no fuckin joke. Cop stops you, you're done. It doesnt matter if dont use the lights on the road. All the equipment in that car like siren lights cage radio etc all concludes that your trying to look a cop. They dont have catch you doing something wrong. It looks so much like on you can and will be arrested for just looking like it. Im in cali too and see people get busted all the time. Make a daytime video if you still have it if it hasent been taken by the cops yet
There's no law against owning this equipment. Violations occur when the equipment is used on public roadways and prosecution of impersonation is determined upon intent; merely having red/blue lights and a siren isn't enough to arrest someone.

phillip arsenault ikr everybody chews theair gum like cows
The Man button should change the siren tone when the Yelp is activated. Its a manual button.
Did you ever consider becoming a cop?
this is so dope but so illegal at the same time
I never seen a crown Vic fully working for 4 something on eBay
well if your gonna use for day to day use you have to deactivate all the lights and siren and radio as its illegal to have on the vehicle when yoru on the road or not as the car could fall in the wrong hands and if you are planning to use them for some project you will have to get a permit
Had a killswitch installed under the dash so no one could activate it...
thats cool you dont got to worry about people blocking your way
Then you get scarred people that don't want to move in the far left lane and slow down under 65mph on the freeway
Hey, I just got a '10 CV. Looking to reconnect the wires as well for security company. Where did you get a center console that operates the sirens and lights?
They left it in the car... I get replacement lights from STL
Any pd would not leave their stuff in the car! Especially not a PD radio! Or the lights, OR the Siren!
some actually do and they change there frequency on the radios and they disconnected the light take them out but some places keep the siren and stuff and don't say I'm wrong cause I do know cause I'm a police explore so basically I know everything about police work
AWESOME GAMER nah you don't know...they don't leave police radios
You would be considered a police impersonator
false, for what we know, he does not pull people over or act upon a police officer. A police impersonator, stats that he is a police officer. Or has any insignia of the word POLICE anywhere on his person, like a badge or clothing, or on the vehicle itself, disclosing the Police Interceptor plate on the back of the vehicle which only distinguishes what type of vehicle it is.
+ProRussian GamingChannel he has police lights in his car, that's impersonating a police officer
+ProRussian GamingChannel driving a Ford Crown Vic is not illegal because I see civilians driving it all the time but putting police lights in it is illegal and he can get arrested and charged for impersonating a police officer, just giving some friendly advice
thats what i said...re read my comment. Putting flashing red,blue, or white lights IS illegal. some states allow flashing amber lights. I as well drive a 2008 ford crown vic p71. With siren, amber lights that are flashing, and PA system. never been arrested never gotten a ticket over it. I have had conversations with other officers about my crown vic.
this is a very good Crown Vic man :)
Ooohoho man. This is friggin goals right here.
I want a Firetruck now!
That was a bad ass car
is it possible do this with a stock 01 vic?
$424 WTF! Just curious why the rear tail lights and license plate light are inoperable as well.
Dear Ryan can i drive the car in germany?
why not XD
Thats fucking awesome.
what page on eBay did you find it and do you have a license to drive it with lights and sirens
It's probably illegal, but I rented it out to be used in a couple RUclips Videos Before I sold it
424 $ What the hack :-) Thats a really good price for such a nice car ^^ Cool video and cool car
badass, lovin it!
unless you have a lot of private property to patrol why have a sirens you are going to get in a lot of trouble if you ever trun it on on the road and the police see you
Haha... And good luck getting away from the new Taurus Interceptors.
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel I just said that he can use it on private property in Michigan there are a lot of used police cars around and people are robbing people acting like the police using wig wags lights so if you not the police or security you are going to get a good looking at
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel oh I forgot keep riding in a want to copy car and eventually somebody's going to shoot at you
To be cop car
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yep I am in a 2009 right now with lights but I know not to turn them on on the free way and Detroit still have them Wayne County Sheriff still has them rich suburbs still have them no miles little crime even my city has one or two I am getting one for work to so if someone mad it me shoot that up
it is actually illegal to have all the police lighting due to a California law... I bought my 2000 Crown Vic Police Interceptor 3 days ago and the guy I bought it from removed the rest of the police lights and strobes that were still on the car when I first bought it... seeing that this video was posted 2 years ago I would assume they the police lighting were already removed? if not that should be taken car of...
what controller do you have for the lights?
STL and had Best Buy install the controller for me as a Addon to the current setup
Where did you get a car like that for lees then $500.00?
get ready to pay another 424 for getting out of tow after you get pulled over xD
Been pulled over twice... once by Long Beach PD, said "Gangs or other related people might shoot you or harm you..."
Other time was Border Patrol, they got a kick out of it...
Bullet Proof Back Plate on Seats and front door panels still...
How did you get the double din in there without changing the defrost vent.
What exactly is this car used for?
messing with friends and I rented it out sometimes
As a volunteer firefighter it saddens me to see this. illegal use of police lights is wrong. i get that its fun but you will learn really quick when not to use them when you get pulled over. so just know that you will get a lot of crap for having this car
how many miles were on it when you bought it?
Your telling me you paid only on 400 bucks for all this...?
$424 on Ebay
what do you do for work that requires you to have red and blue lights that is illegal in the United States unless you are law enforcement
no I bought it like that from Oklahoma...
Amigo eres policía ?, es legal personalizar tu Ford Crown police receptor con luces de policía de civil ?
me refiero a personalizar tu auto y hacerte pasar por policía ? (sin poner partes)
Where can I buy the same center console?
online... or ebay... I bought the car on ebay... lights from STL... replaced center console on a police supply website... easy to get
+Ryne Griswold alright thanks
How did you get this equipment And Light bars?!??
Super cool and not remotely street legal.
Only thing I could think of while watching this is that this seems a bit fishy and hella illegal. The cops in my town would pull me out the car and beat my ass if I drove that.
idk wtf state you live in man but the red and blue lights are illegal as well as the sirens if you are not a police officer, unless you got a permit from the chief of police in your town. But sweet car though.
You can have everything except the red and blues, take them out or risk having you car taken an you being jailed
it has hidden killswitch, only illegal if you use on public road... having them installed is not illegal only using them... California DMV Vehicle code, looked it up just in case
+Ryne Griswold Then why the fuck do you have all that shit wired up?
Just a quick "FYI" the "main" part/button is for basically switching siren; so basically you select a siren… let's say wail for exp… … when you press the "main" button, it'll switch it automatically to yelp; if you start out with yelp and press that same main button, it'll automaticall switch to phaser… … so on and so forth
Please tell me your a cop
Just a guy who bid on 10 different cop cars as a joke and won one...
Better be careful. Some of that equipment may be illegal, depending where you're at.
Isn't this kinda illegal to have if your not a cop?
Sweet ride dude!
Manual is for your manual siren - push and hold it then let go.
Good lord farva...
No person shall drive or move or cause to be moved any vehicle or equipment upon any highway within this state with any lamp or device thereon showing or displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front thereof except for certain vehicles hereinafter provided.
not saying your a bad person but this scares me just a little
Wow, you got a great deal! How did you get it for that price?
typo $414 on ebay... Oklahoma Blackwater City I believe
LOOKS GOOD
RED AND BLUE LIGHTS ARE NOT ILLEGAL, ONLY ILLEGAL WHEN YOU USE THEM FOR ILLEGAL REASONS! Like trying to pull someone over, flying down the highway with lights on, Use of siren is illegal unless used on private property use of airhorn buzzer NOT ILLEGAL!
Other illegal thing is if your lights have red and blue lenses.!
Other than that it’s your toy it’s a show car or whatever.. Nice car man blacked out looks great!
Could you chew that gum ANY LOUDER? Feel like I'm amidst ravenous cows in a field
How much u would sell that speed radar gun for
Grats on your cheap hot rod! I paid 1k for mine with taxi paint from a taxi company!
Lights and siren are the problem the cage pit bar and spot light is fine. Listen to people remove those lights and siren.
If your hand ever slipped and you hit the lights on while going down the road that's some major jail time ! Impersonating a police officer. Half that equipment in the car HAS to be illegal, a civilian can't have access to police radio, like to be able to talk on the channel with. Isn't it illegal just to have the lights on the car ?! Any who that's a thin line your walking
Where the fuck did you get the money for all that equipment? thats my question...
it came with the car. plus these lights are only like 100 bucks
Did u really pay $450 for the car ?
had to drive it back from Oklahoma Though.. has cost a lot
he's got gangster Gangsta car pmsl he's playing cops and robbers it's okay the only thing they'll give him is a BB gun
It cost around $80 to list a vehicle on Ebay. Tha t eans you bought it for less than $400. How is that possible? I have been selling P71s on eBay for years now, if you find me one for less than $500 like yours, I will pay you $1000
Got nothing but love for bra
It's not the fact your chewing gum it's how your chewing the gum
Why
Isn't it illegal to buy cop cars if you are NOT a cop? Plus, if you are, you are only allowed to use it when driving it to work in an EMERGENCY!! You can't just randomly pull people over. That's a serious crime.
It isn't illegal to buy an EXcop car people do it all the time they buy them off the departments. But they not leave any of that in it its just a regular car.
+Brandon Hess even then at most a PD would leave in is the lamp, dome light, and maybe the cage
I've heard of some departments actually leaving a decent amount of equipment in them, since crown vics are being phased out and quite a bit of the equipment can't fit in the taurus.
yup you going to jail they gon take you to jail in you're own car lmaooo
Dont make a video with you talking if you have gum in it
Lmao u going to jail lol
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel i know i was just playing.....my cvpi have the lights and the pa also my cousin works for the sheriff department he said its fine As long as I don't impersonate a cop.
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel your Right about that because i was trying to find a Chevrolet caprice 9c1 but i cant lol but my next's car will be a charger police car .
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea thats what i was looking for & i live in los Angeles ca theres a lot of chargers but LAPD don't care about there cars.
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea the stuff they do to the crown Victoria is awesome they refurbish program is kind of hight but its Worth it To keep your car going because its not a lot of people that can fixs them.
Bro all it takes for some one to say they saw you using your red and blue lights and say good by to your car.
I sold it this year for 3500 but still have all the lights at home with the speed radar gun...
Did you look up the definition of private road? Here in vermont a public highway is any surface open permanently or temporarily to the general circulation of traffic. IE a parking lot is considered public highway. I imagine its the same in CA... Grow up.
Why do you have the cage In it?
Hhj Cvvv I bought it like that
Ryne Griswold nice car do a vid on the mileage and how it runs?
Hhj Cvvv sold it for $2,200 and equipment for $800...
Hey, I just got a '10 CV. Looking to reconnect the wires as well for security company. Where did you get a center console that operates the sirens and lights?
Ryne Griswold nice profit margin. good vid.
in my state, if a cop sees a "look-a-like" car will pull you over and will make you flash your lights, if they flash blue, you are impersonating and officer and will be fined or jailed as such
+Ryne Griswold Just be cautious because you reattaching the lights and stuff can get you in serious trouble. It amounts to impersonation of a Police Officer. You clearly have no authority to operate red/blue lights anywhere.
$ 400 dollars for a car like that? What was the catch? That is cheap. I got three, one is silver, the other grey and the other stone. Unless you are in law enforcement you cannot drive that car on a public road with all that equipment they will confiscate the car and they will take you away. If I was you I would remove all that police equipment and the siren in the front. The way things are going in this world everyone is edgy so if you do not want problems with them don't use that equipment. Remove it. The car does look good.
in canada are you allowed to drive crown vics with lights in them
anthony lambing
amazing. They are great cars.
they are but in canada can you put lights and sirens in them?
No kidding payed 1k for mine!
Wow, was it in good running condition?
Thats a real old light and siren system in it! And it seems like its messed up but i hope you are a police officer undercover narc or drive an unmarked vehicle because that's illegal and impersonating an officer you can get in bug trouble and it just makes you look like a wannabe because you cant be a cop!
STOP SMACKING ON GUM!!!!!!!!
oooo yes
I would love to have a car like that but it's not like he's going to impersonate a police officer he might use it for car shows we don't know lol
+Daryns Militaria Collection Channel same here I'm going to make mine have everything a actual cop car has
Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea or else people think your impersonating a police officer lol but you should be fine all they carry about is not using any police lights and I'm in th US to lol
+Daryns Militaria Collection Channel yea it is and also it is one of the best police cars ever made
+Daryns Militaria Collection Channel same I'll just go with the now days kind hey I'll talk at you later bro take care!
The gum chewing though
You need to take that stuff out.
I want the sound .keep all the other shit..
You did not pay 424
Can you get in trouble for having police lights and siren in your car
yes, but I bought it like that at Police Auction
+Ryne Griswold I have a 94 Vic police pack with the lights I just need to reconnect it
I'm a Firefighter. Currently looking into law enforcement. And this vechicel is ex police Car. And they police departments take everything out of these vehicles when they sell them. Wich means he is most likely pretending to be a police officer or he got it like this. But highly illegal.
you can have lights they just can't be red and blue and you can't use them on public roads, but it is not illegal.
My brother bought one, they police department took out the red and blue lights from the back window and the trunk. But they left the ones in the grille and on the mirrors, and a orange light bar in the back, and the strobe controller in the trunk
Chew with your mouth closed! Nice vic though
Are u a cop
that’s a steal
did anyone else think his gum was annoying
Noo nooo he did not get that for no 424 its a lie no way in hell if he is not a cop then something is wrong here
Cops sell ex cop cars all the time usually actioned off. But they don't get the lights radios or anything except maybe the strobe bulbs in the blinkers but that's cause it's so hard to take them out but their not useable.
+Brandon Hess im geting a 2006 for 2500 with everything in it PA / lights CB but im going to take it out .
Police stuff illegal in US. No more $400 CVPI's these days.
U better start taking all of those thing out of thecar or you would get arrested buddy for impersonating a police officer
Omg. I can't even watch because of you smacking on gum
cool dude
Red and blues on the car are illegal know matter what even if you don't use them on public roads. But looks cool
For $124? Get the fuck out no way
424.00 not 124.00
nice
Dude your going to go to jail
Brandon K. naw... never went
Jesus christ man enough of the gum!!!!
Fake, there's no way a department released a squad with all off that stuff still in there. It's worth thousands, and then only getting it for $900, what ever.
You'd be surprised at how low departments sell their cars for. I have an 03 vic with 150k miles that was sold by the sheriff's department for $500. The car is worth about $1k more than that, they just sell really cheap to get rid of them
They didn't care... the only took the nights out and cut a couple wires... didn't do that great of a job
Dude have fun in jail no fuckin joke. Cop stops you, you're done. It doesnt matter if dont use the lights on the road. All the equipment in that car like siren lights cage radio etc all concludes that your trying to look a cop. They dont have catch you doing something wrong. It looks so much like on you can and will be arrested for just looking like it. Im in cali too and see people get busted all the time. Make a daytime video if you still have it if it hasent been taken by the cops yet
There's no law against owning this equipment. Violations occur when the equipment is used on public roadways and prosecution of impersonation is determined upon intent; merely having red/blue lights and a siren isn't enough to arrest someone.
mhs411 correct. there is no law against owning it there is a law however against having it in your car. look at vehicle code. Here's the code:
