Police Stop MA Man Driving Masserati That Looks Like Police Patrol Car



Imitation: A Maserati resembling a police cruiser sits parked along the shore in Quincy, Massachusetts, with the driver telling an officer it was assisting police because people slow down when they see it.

[From article]
Foster said the door shield wasn't accompanied by the usual police phrase 'Protect and Serve', but rather with 'Decepticons punish and enslave'.
The driver told the officer who pulled him over that he was actually assisting police 'because other drivers noticed him and slowed down, thinking it was a police vehicle'.
The driver, whose name was not made public, was summoned to court to face a charge of impersonating a police officer.
The car did not have any flashing lights.
