      The whole point of unmarked police cars is you can’t tell they’re a police car until the lights come on.

      Also, why wouldn’t an unmarked fire truck be useful? It would still function as a fire truck, and the lights would identify it as such. This is a weird take.

        Joking about how for a firetruck to be unrecognizable as a fire truck, you’d have to remove so much useful stuff from it/limit access to things from the outside so much as to render it ineffective, and also being kind of absurd by pretending that unmarked firetrucks are at all the subject of what they were talking about

      There’s plenty of cops driving in civilian cars or doctors on emergency that use their own cars, both can use those little emergency lights they pop onto the roof of their car.

      Yes, This. An unmarked huge truck with a massive ladder a big control panel full of dials and stuff, and big-ass hoses everywhere, driven or surrounded by big dudes in red or yellow fireproof jackets, with those cool helmets with the visor backwards, could be confused with a UPS van.
