This car might look like a normal, everyday Mustang muscle car.
But looks can be deceiving – it’s actually an unmarked Florida cop car.
And it gets even more fascinating than that.
Because this Mustang can pull you over from any direction…

This normal Mustang…is actually a cop car!
It turns out that the Florida Highway Patrol has been up to something.
Because it has been testing a radical new lighting system for its cars.
And it has been using an unmarked Mustang to do it.
The state’s Highway Patrol is testing a 360-degree concealed lighting system.
It can turn a normal-looking car into a speeding patrol unit in mere seconds.
At first glance, you would easily be forgiven for thinking that there’s nothing out of the ordinary about this Mustang.
But then the lights activate, and the entire vehicle becomes a moving traffic signal.
So what is the Florida Highway Patrol trying to achieve with this?
Well, the system actually has a very clever purpose in mind.
Florida Highway Patrol has been clever
It has been designed so that officers don’t need to reposition their vehicles to initiate a traffic stop.
Once one traffic stop has ended, the car is able to signal to the next offender.
It allows this to be done without turning or needing to change lanes.
But there is something else that makes this system so great.
And that is the nature of the lights themselves.
Because the LEDs are embedded in the body, they stay nearly invisible until they are activated.
This reduces the normal visual clutter while maintaining authority and presence.
What is so impressive about this initiative is the evolution of vehicle technology.
The Florida Highway Patrol has evolved to increase officer safety, response speed, and efficiency.
It would not surprise us to see other police forces across America integrating similar technology into their patrol vehicles.
