14 March 2008 - 1:432007 Ford Mustang Police Car Mod

Jessie Vigil decided to undertake a minor project to spend time with his son. His goal; to create a replica Mustang police car out of a move. He’s used fake police lights on the car, and painted it black and white to give it the appearance of a real cop. Along with that it has “Police” written in golden letters.

The car is causing some controversy, however there is currently no law preventing him from doing this. That is of course as he doesn’t try and impersonate a police officer, a federal offense. Many people in the small town recognize and know who he is, but some people fear they might think it’s an actual police officer in case of an emergency.

Vigil has consulted with law enforcement officials over whether or not is legal, and they’ve decided it was. It was also noted that Ford Mustangs are typically not used as police cars, so they did not see him intend to impersonate a police officer.

All in all, I think this mod is quite cool. It would definitely get me to jam on my brakes if I saw him driving down the highway!
