It's Miami, so it's probably not legit.

No, the FOP badge says it all. Funny thing, the FOP badge is perfectly acceptable and often encouraged.

That's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. Having a BMW plate frame on a Chevy truly makes no sense.

fraternal order of police.

it's a way for the police officers' unions to raise money by selling badges that people think will get them out of speeding tickets if the badges are displayed on cars.

In this case it does since the badge holder is a member.

I've always wondered if FOP badges work.

50/50 proposition unless you have a real badge to back it up; and then only most of the time.

Not a BMW, but something (*cough* *cough* tires and exhaust) tells me this is NOT a Trackhawk. Pretty much confirmed when the car started up...

Edit: a buddy corrected me and apparently this is a "Trailhawk" and is legit - Jeep used the same badge but changed the name for this more off-roady (but base model?) Car
