I vote for putting it on a military vehicle of some sort. Or a cop car.

Nope.

This device was found last year, and it the subject of the current lawsuit.

This is what I was referring to - the teardown article the a bunch of pics posted on this thread came from:

In the midst of this legal controversy, Threat Level decided to take a look at the inside of one of the devices — which are generally custom-made for law enforcement. Working with the teardown artists at iFixit, we examined a device an environmental activist discovered on her vehicle in 2005, which she recently provided to us.

Looks like the GPS components shrank, or at least changed some anyway.
