Finally-- with those points in mind, why in the world would it be illegal. So it gives police an "unfair" edge to do their job. If you don't like it- Don't break the law.
I think the gist of his post is that it's not always safe to pull over for an unmarked car that claims to be a police officer. Just about every city has the occasional rash of people pretending to be cops. Therefore, for the interest of public safety, real cops in unmarked cars shouldn't be allowed to pull people over, because that way people will never fall victim for the fraudulent people pretending to be cops.
In which case you go back to my previous point. If you don't feel comfortable then you slow down and maintain a slow speed until you get to a well lit area. When there you call 911 if you are still concerned and you also can request the officers credentials.
One time we drove to a baseball game in one of them and we were stuck in traffic with a black and white in the lane next to us so my buddy would turn on his siren really quickly then turn it off. We then watched the cops reaction. It was pretty funny to see him get confused, then go to look up the tags right as the light turned green and we turned left into the school we were playing.
First off that was illegal, second off someone really dropped the ball when they sold that car. When they sell it, they are allowed to leave the spot light on from my understanding because that is legal for a civilian to own. The lights AND siren; however, are illegal to own and use and therefore should be taken off.

1.) You were that kid who jumped up and down to be a hall monitor in school, weren't you?
2.) I don't get it, are you Christian?
1. And you are the kid that had a problem with anyone tell you what to do huh? For your information, my father and grandfather were both police officers (Ironically, both part time in addition to their Govt Jobs) and both people I admire (My Grandfather died in 1996).
Additionally, I am a security guard when home from college on breaks so the lights rule in particular applies to me (My amber light is only to be used when stopped NEVER while driving).
Finally, as for the other thread going on in ATOT about the drivers license, I know that because I am an RA at Virginia Tech. If there is a student who claims they do not go to this school, then we are supposed to ask for their license as that is required to be on your person at all times.
2. I don't get, why is my religion a factor AT ALL here??
