Curious, is your Ford Interceptor a vehicle from your time as a policeman that they let you keep or did you acquire it from elsewhere?
My 2007 Ford Police Interceptor is not from my time as Cincinnati Police Officer which was from 2004 to 2006. It would have been cool to purchase (at auction) any one of the many 1999 to 2001 Ford Police Interceptors that I routinely drove on patrol…but I went a different route and went on a mission to purchase a NEW 2007 Ford Police Interceptor in 2007 after I had returned to Delta Air Lines from pilot furlough. Why NEW? One day prior to patrol while still a Cincinnati Police Officer, I was accidentally assigned a NEW 2006 Ford Police Interceptor with about 50 miles on it…fresh paint, fresh stickers, fresh interior, fresh cop stuff, fresh everything!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!! Unfortunately, halfway through my patrol shift, the supervisors realized that they had assigned “THE 40 YEAR OLD ROOKIE” a NEW cop car. BLASPHEMY!!! Rookies are supposed to drive the old [beat to shit] cop cars…which I normally did. Anyway, it was etched upon my stupid little brain how nice a NEW Ford Police Interceptor was…and I wanted a NEW one.
Finding a Ford fleet dealer that would sell me a NEW Ford Police Interceptor was no small task…I checked with about 15 Ford fleet dealers and got shot down every time…until I found a huge Ford fleet dealer near Chicago who didn’t shoot me down. They had 20 NEW Ford Police Interceptors in different colors on their lot…and they said to come pick one out with fists full-o-dollars in my possession…and I did!!!
Registering my NEW 2007 Ford Police Interceptor with the BMV in Ohio is another story…what a shit show that was…but I was finally able to get it done.
Here’s the day I bought my NEW 2007 Ford Police Interceptor at the Ford fleet dealer near Chicago in May of 2007…my 2001 Mustang Bullitt GT is in the background…
LATE ENTRY: Here’s the original window sticker…mad dog action figure wearing Hooters hat and Moonwatch sold separately…

Get rid of the high hat and add another bass on the left foot. Pantera is looking for a new drummer. 😅

Used police cars are NO bargain, as you know. By the time they go out to pasture, they are well and truly used up. Even if you were to get a supervisor or detective unit, they still have thousands of hours of idling in their history. When I started, we got rid of them from front line use at about 80K miles. We now have front line cars with almost 200K miles, and on top of that Dodge Chargers are not as durable or inexpensive to maintain as the the CV.
What was the problem in getting it registered?
If it comes to it, I may have a source of bumpers for you.
Guess this answers a question I never would have thought to ask, 'Who would laminate their car's window sticker?'.

I have a friend that is very active in the Mustang Club of America. Trust me, laminated window stickers is not even scratching the surface.
I believe @mad dog probably laminates his old tax returns.
And recipes from Hooters.

You should have just taken it home and told them a criminal stole it. I am sure they would have understood
The problem in getting it registered was that it was new and that I was just a regular ‘Joe Shit The Rag Man’ off the street. When I showed up at the local Ohio BMV with all the paperwork, which included the Ford fleet dealership paperwork delineating that it was sold as new, I was asked what government agency I was with…as in it was assumed that I was employed at a government agency (and I was some government agency procurement dude or something). When I told them I didn’t work for any government agency they stated that new Ford Police Interceptors could only be sold to government agencies for government service…municipal, county, state, and/or federal.
Basically, they didn’t know what to do regarding my situation…so they called the BMV HQ and they didn’t know what to do…finally, the BMV manager at the local BMV threw up his hands and exclaimed, “Whatever!” and I was able to register it. YAY!
Registering used Ford Police Interceptors is not a problem, but getting new Ford Police Interceptors registered apparently is a problem if the vehicle is not intended for government service…at least it was for me. I did some checking later and I thought I had read that new vehicles intended for government service were exempt from emissions penalties or something…but they had to be sold for government service to be exempt.
