So some guys who’ve restored police oldtimers have started putting POZILEI graphics on them! No law against that. Google it out for some pictures. In my state, I can’t drive around with a blue light “exhibited” on the roof. So I bought a black knit toboggan cap and got a uniform shop to embroider AUSSER BETRIEB on it. That’s “Out of Service” in German. The car still gets lots of smiles. At a street fair one kid called it “Officer Herbie.” Fun.
