Do you want everyone around you to drive the speed limit?
Also, isn't there a law against impersonating an officer? It seems like having a faux police car would be ideal for pedophiles and kidnappers.

Just because a car looks like a police car, doesn't mean it is, look alikes never will have full decals or light-bars of sorts. You would have to try to be pulling people over to 'impersonate', or making use of flasher lights you shouldn't be. Its all fully legal until you do something stupid with it.
I can't say why someone would purposly try to make a car look like a cruiser aside from restoration projects. I've seen a handful of fully restored Old cruisers (50's 60's 70's Cars). Some of us are just stuck with a car that we bought that just happens to be an ex cruiser. I'd rather have all the equipment, though useless to me, to be there rather than a bunch of holes all over the car.
Lastly, the people who drive the speed limit, just amuse me, except when they won't pass you and just 'camp' in your blind spots.
