In that case mainly it is the rifle/shotgun barrels that stick up above the top of the dash and those are visible even at night with a car's head lights shining through from behind. I always look at the helmet first with that blue band around it and radio bits, the night stick on the right side and those big black cases on the back which can easily be seem from the front.

I can certainly distinguish an actual CHP bike from a retired one, but not until it's relatively close. I doubt you could tell the difference in one 1/2 mile behind you in your mirror, either. This rider had a helmet that emulated a CHP helmet as well, being a skull cap with the dark band under the white top. There was even an emblem of some type in the same place as a CHP helmet, as well as a tight-fitting leather jacket. So chuckle away. The point of my thread was there is an odd type out there that likes to pose as a cop.
