Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Wait... Poland is EU, the blinker has to be yellow not red. This car isn't street legal, and not because it looks like a police car.

It's not the same in the whole EU. In mine you can have red as the back turn signals, just not in front.

It has UK plates

Lol, it's Poland. You can drive whatever you want there and modify your car in any moronic way you want and the police still wont bother you

First those aren't UK plates but PL plates for "Classic Cars". Owner somehow managed to register that car as cultural heritage obejct, and as such is allowed to keep red blinkers.

My bet would be that this is a collector, who bought actual police car in US, and restored its appearance as it was used in US police
