I'm not really sure how I should word this but...

I heard something about Ottawa Police asking uploaders to take down skins of their cars. Is this true? And are there any police services that will ask you to take down skins of their cars? If so, can you name some I should stay away from?

I've only ever had trouble with the Ottawa Police Service asking to take down skins, all the other departments have been no problem. You're best shot is to just change the Department name (For Example change Palm Beach to Liberty Beach on the cruisers).

That is what I was thinking. Thanks!

Did Ottawa Police give a reason? I can't think of any reason any PD would have an issue with it

They requested for me to take it down, they didn't give me a reason, but I can understand why they wanted it down, so I respected that and took it down as soon as they asked.

I just can't understand why they don't want to be misrepresented while we are messing around with other major department skins (NYPD, Washington DC, LAPD, Ect...) and they really don't care.

In the US, all government works are public domain, unlike Canada, which is why the mint wanted money from a musician that used money on his album cover a while back.

Federal government works are public domain, but state and local governments can hold copyright.
