BlackOps has the right idea. A midnight paintjob may be an option. Nice big pink letters down the side - NOT A POLICE CAR - would be funny to see.

Unless he/she is actually putting lights and "wacking" it out; just sit back and laugh at their pitiful existence.

You seriously underestimate the cluelessness of the public. I had a woman ask me if that exact car was a police car, right before I said "No" and put a parking ticket on it for being in the fire lane at Walmart.
