I was my parents’ dedicated cop watcher since I was 8, and this is definitely a big one that a lot of people overlook. It’s one of the easiest features of even an unmarked police vehicle to spot from behind if you know to look for the folded light’s mounting hardware. My wife is always surprised at how quickly I can spot a cop from long distance, and it’s often because I spot something strange sticking out of the drivers’ side mirror.
Doesn’t even matter which four-door sedan you drive.
Just take off your hubcaps, add a guard on your front grill, and suddenly everyone lets you pass then.
Don’t forget the driver side mounted light

In my area, most new cop cars, are SUVs and don’t have the side light.
And the sirens
I just roll up to people’s houses and shoot their dog.
And the shotgun!
And the turret on the top
And the fascist thug in the driver’s seat
All the cops around here drive white or grey SUVs that are almost impossible to spot because the LED flashers are so slim.
