Good question. I am 99.9% certain they can use on with Police markings. I'll post if I find any different.

Much better to have a decent cop pull you and have a sensible word in your ear than civvies on performance-related targets notching up even the most minor transgression.

SCPs and vans have very little to do with the Police i.e. they are not Police officers sitting in the back of them. It's nearly all civilian. The only connection the Police usually have is having their force on the NIP and S172 as they are both Police powers.

I nearly got an S4 myself. Great car. Love driving John's

S172 asks you to name the driver at a certain time. It isn't a confession nor incrimination.

Looking at it simplistically. Evo 340BHP @ 1400 odd KG, remapped S4 310BHP @ 7 million tons.

Everyday use the S4 is a much nicer car to own... And does better than 20 MPG
