I saw this guy at an antique firetruck show & flea market near Boston today.  I didn't talk with the guy because I was afraid I was going to say what I think and not filter what my brain sends to my mouth.  In any case, he appears to be a bit of a wacker (no surprise).  He has a white Suburban with an LED lightbar on it.  On the back window in HUGE letters is the word "RESCUE".  On either side of "rescue" he has round DHS stickers.  On the sides of the vehicle are large Star of Life stickers.  I'll bet dollars to donuts that he has a 3 ft square Star of Life sticker on the roof.  In case you're wondering, it's not an official or department vehicle...it has vanity plates on it.

If you have any photos or a plate number, I am a supervisor for a DHS LE agency in your area, and I'm sure myself or one of my co-workers would love to have a little chat with this gentleman's local PD and (real) employer. PM me and I can provide my official work email address.

Sorry - I didn't mean to be cryptic by not spelling out Dept of Homeland Security.  I seriously doubt that the guy is legit...take a look at his website (Lightbar Liquidators).  I suspect the DHS stickers on his vehicle are about as legit as me putting stickers that say Federal Communications Commission on my vehicle just because I have ham plates.

Thanks Ryan.

John will jump on them. Then again maybe he'll contact the guy and tell him he's out of his mind and the country on that figure.

$3000.00 or BO (BS) and you still have to pay for shipping.

Was thinking maybe offering 150.00 but my luck that's where it's at and then I'm stick with something I can't possibly use.

I'm guessing that it is the same vehicle, but there are no DHS or "RESCUE" stickers on the rear window...maybe they were added after the video was produced.

I thought you were kidding (maybe you were?), until I read Jarred's post!  This falls in the category of "truth is stranger than fiction"!

I don't know how much they are worth, but I do think a little high priced.

I can't STAND looking at that lightbarliquidators site. They charge $500 for a perfectly good Twinsonic shell with those shit vista strobe heads thrown into it. And $200 for an empty Whelen 80 shell? Bullshit.

Other than the fact they ruin perfectly good lights, their prices are high, and they're egotistical genetically misguided whackers, I can't stand them because they flood Craigslist with their ads.  PM me if you want to know how I really feel.


Street Hawk Light Bar - $750

This guy's ad is screaming for me to email him!

I normally wouldn't waste my time clicking on such links, but after that comment, I just had to look.

As someone who has been assigned two CVPI "US government take-home vehicles", a lot in the photos screamed to me as being very wrong. And I know my agency outfits their cars rather half-assed, but this one looked crazy!

Here's your "US government take-home car with 113k on the clock":
