I was walking home from work yesterday and spotted this ultra chic Mercedes S-Class sedan fully decked out in New York Police Department garb; check out the pics. I’ve seen the new Dodge Charger HEMI cop cruisers, but this is a little over the top, especially considering the MSRP on a new S-Class is over $100,000.

Pics taken with my MDA phonecam at  East 3rd. st. and Avenue B. NYC

It’s most likely a confiscated vehicle from a convicted criminal. They had a Lexus and an Escalade in Oakland a few years ago.

This is a fake.
The precinct number gives it away – there is no 15th Precinct.
Well there was on TV if you watch NYPD Blue.

If it is fake, it couldn’t be legal, right? You can’t just drive around the city pretending to be a cop.

So what’s the explanation?

My guess would be that it’s being used in a movie shoot somewhere.

I’m sure it is going to be part of the car show over at the Javitz Center next week. There is a taxi exhibit planned.

The NYPD actually has some marked Highway Patrol units with civilian passeneger plates. However, they are “slick top” units, without any lightbars, but NYPD markings.

It could be that it is being used for a movie shoot hence the wire coming from the vector lightbar… or a confiscated vehicle that’s caught in some downed wires…

We have MB S class Police cruisers here in Slovenia,EU.But they mostly patrol highway for high speed drivers.In the city we have Opel Astra cruisers which are ligt and fast,and are not so expensive if they crash them.And yes they are white and blue.

It’s 115pct… Not 15pct…

No, its 15th pct…the blue that you see before the completely visible “1” is the blue line that wraps around, not a 1. That car is obviously not a real NYPD car, period..
