He's a local guy that builds police cars for the local departments. I guess he just wanted to make a toy. The rule in AZ is that you can't have any color lights or lenses facing the front or rear of the vehilcle. So that is why he is using led lighting.

I like the concept. A WRX would make a good cop car.

Why not?! Cops here have these cars. They usually are a DARE project car or some kind of PR car for the police departments at schools and stuff. I've even seen a ZX12R in cop mode. Now that's fast. I think it's a good thing. It gets kids interested in law enforcement and learning respect for the law enforcement folks. If nothing else it gets thier attention when the speaker comes in for an assembly, sorta like the dogs do. I seriously doubt this will be on the street everyday as a daily driver for a uniformed officer. Some states, like Hawaii, don't have that many marked cars. They let the cops pick the car on pay back system, I've seen TRD 4 Runners and Camry's and Cobra Mustangs there as cop cars all the time. What's the difference?

they used to have a couple of marked cars running around over here as well,
if your gonna catch the criminal nutters you've got to have the horsepower.
i remember seeing a couple of photo's in autoexpress years ago, i'll have a dig and see if i can find any on the net.
