fake taxi drive-by's

I just have to get all of my material out of my system.

This cab was found on November 2nd 2011:




This cab was operating with a passenger driving down Seventh Avenue at 34th street, in broad daylight at one of the most policed places in the whole city. They have no fear, reminds me of my roach infestation at home: March 10th, 2011:

Hi,

not a fake in this sense, but, did you see this NYPD cab in NYC? I didn't know of a Police cab in NY.

yes steve. I've been very interested in this topic too. Every Police precinct in Manhattan has at least one police car dressed up as a taxi. The precinct on 42nd street west of 10th avenue even has two.

here is one such posting of the new Nissan Altima Hybrid version:
