Is it illegal to install and use one in your vehicle? i heard you can use it but not to impersonate a police officer etc. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

I have a megaphone, mostly for handheld us, medium size, not a tiny one, but not a jumbo one, works pretty clutch, pm me if anyone wants it.

Im talking about the ones that the cops have installed in their cars, with the little microphone and sirens/buzzer:)

I was gonna hook mine up to my cb radio, and i flick a switch, and talk threw the cb, and have megaphone mounted somewhere near front of engine, but neve got around to it. mine has a siren, but its super ghetto. You gotta order the police style one, its not cheap, and not legal to use, but thats not stopping anyone. I might be able to find one for u. Just give me a few minutes

just stick a big speaker or two behind your front bumper and wire in a switch for them..then you can play stupid recordings and shit...saw it done with one 6x9 and the stupid thing was loud (with amp)

yeah, or u can get the big police 100watt ones, get a siren thingy the police use, and talk to people/get em outa ur way with some nice siren with yelp, lol.

the police ones would be louder than any speaker, lol.

yup, i have the same one the cops do. Installed it a while ago actually, got it taken away for pulling people over but they gave it right back to me
:)

So im still not sure if its illegal to use, besides pulling people over with it.

WELLLL, they arnt, but they get u in shit. Got the damn thing installed yesterday. Today at school during lunch, making lots of noise etc. Who walks up to my door. 2 old farts dressed up like normal citizens. Pull out their badges. FUKKKK. Ask me where the usual stuff is. Anyways, they call up the sarge, and about 4 other cruisers. This meantime all infront of school, pretty embarassing. I had just recieved new pink slips etc, was supposed to bring em with me to school but though who cares i wont get pulled over. Anyways, they wrote up 7 tickets. 1 for no registration, 1 for no insurance slip, 1 for littering, 1 for seatbelts, 1 for failing to produce license. 1 for causing a disturbance. 1 for parking in the bus lane. So anyways, i end up finding my fuken insurance/reg under my seat, which i thought i lost so i got new ones. Those 2 tickets scratched. Then i got off the littering, cuz it wasnt really me doing it, was those punks that all gather on the road at lunch :thumbsdow, scratched out the disturbance (most of em were scratched because the undercover guys left and the rest of the cruisers, the guy giving me the tickets was fuken nice. Scratched almost all of em when they left:D and i told him at the end (sir, ill be taking this to court on the day your sick;) he just laughed and said "pay them im to lazy to go:D so all in all, i kept the megaphone, and got a few tix but o well, still have a megaphone. Some people never learn their lessons:rofl:

I could see if you were driving and using it, it could be considered a distraction,thus stunting or something like that.
