There are at least two things wrong with this alleged cruiser - actually just a prop for a movie being filmed in Southie. See if you can spot them. If not, Greg MacKay, who took the photo, provides the answers. Actually, one of the errors might be a bit hard to see; MacKay provides a larger version for you to examine.

G-8? I don't think so.

Hood unlatched
The hood isn't securely closed.
Ummm...
It's not idling next to a hole in the street?
No license plate on the front?
Sitting at my desk right now I'm trying to recall whether Boston cop cars have plates on the front...
They do
Proof.
