The FRS being used as a NYPD courier car?

Jalopnik: NYPD FRS

Found this quite amusing, parked illegally and probably used as a courier mobile of some sorts for the NYPD. Anyone in the NYPD care to chime in? =P

Looks like someone wanted to try to park illegally and used fake stickers to do it.

Or it's like the article said and a personal vehicle of an off duty officer or civilian staffer

I doubt someone would try to impersonate an NYPD authorized personnel just to get away with parking wherever they want. I have to imagine that any parking enforcement officer would confirm these dash tags whenever they see them.

LEO always park their cars illegally since they know they won't get ticketed. I have a friend at the DEA and they have the same deal, a LE permit to park anywhere (though there are some exceptions, but I forget what they are).

In the end, it's better for us citizens though, leaves more legal spots for us.

<quote> Or! Or maybe it's an undercover car, the NYPD's latest attempt to infiltrate the seedy world of underground drifting in New York. Yeah, that's what it is! </quote>
