What sort of "police style" lights?
Light bar? Not legal if it contains blue. Typically you can have non-blue but it has to have a purpose.
Strobes in the signals? Don't get caught in motion with these on either.
I have to pull the blue lights off the pace car at the track when I go get gas...

This is a big "NO." You could be arrested for impersonating a police officer.
(Think about the flip side. If you were someone with an emergency, who needed an officer and approached what appeared to be a police cruiser, how would you feel about the citizen driver who just wanting to play "cops.")

You can install lights, but they cannot be the red and blue used by Police Departments and Emergency Vehicles. Yours are limited to amber colored lenses. That is the ruling where I live in California.

No it incredibly is against the regulation to mount police lights furnishings on a civilian automobile. The police will pull you over and arrest you. it is likewise possible to be charged with impersonating a police officer in case you attempt to tug human beings over for exciting. some human beings will bypass to any length to stay away from sitting helplessly in site visitors, regardless of if it ability breaking the regulation by ability of pretending to be Johnny regulation. the information Tribune comments that a 25 year-previous guy replaced into taken into custody final week after applying flashing lights furnishings on his automobile to impersonate the police and bypass heavy site visitors. applying a prior due-kind Ford Mustang with flashing blue lights furnishings affixed to the front grill and around the rear bumper, the guy replaced into arrested by ability of the Washington State Patrol after witnesses stated as the police to rfile the suspicious motor vehicle. highway patrolmen finally caught as much as the impersonator (who replaced into first observed weaving with the aid of site visitors on Interstate 5) on highway 512 in Tacoma, the place he instructed squaddies the lights furnishings have been "in hassle-free terms for teach." Police proceeded to income the motor vehicle, the place they stumbled on a change close to the motive force's leg that led to the lights furnishings, flashing them in arbitrary varieties. in addition they uncovered what they termed a "administration head" between the motive force's seat and center console that spark off a siren-like tone emitter linked to a speaker close to the front of the automobile. interestingly this wasn't the 1st time that the guy had pulled the trick, as records point out a November nineteenth 911 call to police reporting a automobile with flashing blue lights furnishings. the ethical of the tale is do not positioned your pretend police lights furnishings on your bumper, positioned them on impressive of your automobile. merely kidding -- we'd incredibly have you ever caught in site visitors than be in the slammer for what the sensible adult adult males call stupid smart human beings tricks.
