I know my question is silly, but I'd figure to ask it anyway...

If you were to see a civvie drive a car that is commonly used for squad cars (Explorer, Charger, even a Crown Vic), would you be more inclined to assume they're a first responder or a PBA sticker on wheels and possibly give them more leniency if say... They are speeding, or are they more or less fair game like every other car on the road?

I ask because for some us civvies, when we see the aforementioned vehicles, we do get a bit intimidated since we assume it's a LEO until we see that it's some soccer mom with kids in the back seat, dudebro blasting Megadeth, or a taxi and wondered if it worked the other way around. Thanks!
