Houston police used to put full edge bars in the back window of early 90's cameros and caprice slick tops. I wish I had a picture.

Security gaurd goodness parked in a fire lane in Grand Prairie Tx. Blue Vista with 1 amber center rotator, and a red/blue galls deck light left rear window. It also had a V-Con but I did not see a speaker. Cletus the gaurd got pretty upset with me for taking these pictures.

To me that looks like a Plano PD car with a black trunk & hood with that badge logo. I would love to see how long that car would last driving through Plano, Allen, Garland or Richardson. Almost wants to make you call the GPPD to come out and ticket it for illegal parking.
Public place, there is no expectation of privacy. I take pictures of cars all the time in public places.

Security company's "Tactical Response Unit", with an A/W vector and a red aerodynic... *calls PSP*
Even more impressive is the use of a Chrysler K-Car as a patrol unit...

I was going to say, other than the fact that it's pretty whacker-ish, it's not a bad looking install, the colors are just all wrong. lol I wasn't digging the console setup either, particularly the clipboard stand along with the laptop mount. Too redundant.

@4:50 Mark he says: "I use it because my DAMN fire department won't give me a DAMN pager, and I don't care if they see this shit."
Hmmm. I wonder why??!?!??!??! Then later complains again that his fire department doesn't like them to use lights and talks crap about them again. He's a model of a fire fighter if I have ever seen one. :roll:

Ugh! Where to start?
I think the switch placement is poor. I know in my SUV that I've struck that part of the dash with my knee on several occasions.
Wire routing across the door jamb? Really? Couldn't find a hole or make a hole in the firewall? That wiring is not likely to last.
Wire nuts? I've used wire nuts before... in my house. That's where you use them as they are not weather proof.
I do like the placement and color arrangement of the LED light heads, otherwise, this is a fail and I'm not an expert.

Why, Why would anyone put those upper level flashers in and take out the inboard rotors?
Thats a factory job. Those are sm1s in there. I forget who had one on the board in their collection. IT had upper level flashers and takedowns, lower level flashers and alleys, also had sweeps.

Seen this at Wal-mart today. It looks like it's bolted to to the wood. The roof racks push together to hold down the bar and only one cable strap. ......

"I'm not a cop he says" I'm not sure if it was the amber lights that told me or his stupid little quote that came up. :duh:
