Answer 1

He'll know your not a cop when POLICE is spelled wrong on the door.

Answer 2

only if you eating donuts

Answer 3

yes, your plates,

Answer 4

Absolutely.  Police Officers routinely run license plates as they are driving, which will come up with the owner's name and address.  If it was really a squad car, it would reflect that or show the agency that it is registered to.  If it's registered to an individual, they will know it's not a law enforcement vehicle.

Additionally, many departments are getting new technology like Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) that read the license plates and alert the officer if a vehicle is stolen or if a person is wanted, so they don't have to type and drive.

Driving an old police vehicle (like a Crown Victoria) will only raise suspicion that you're up to something.  Although it's not illegal (spotlights may be in your jurisdiction), it's a good way to get cops to pay attention to you and run your plates.

Answer 5

Well, they could always just run your plates

Answer 6

If it's a Crown Vic you can spot it by the black grille. Either paint it body color or spring for a chrome replacement.

Answer 7

They will know easily and immediately.  You probably have a wide variety of characteristics that'll tip 'em off.

If you just want to speed, and that's all you're trying to get away with, well that might work.

Answer 8

LEARN HOW TO SPELL.
