Since its not on a public road I think not but idk.... or if I were to get pulled over and a cop saw it could i get in trouble? mostly I would just use it and any lights when I was in mud pits and such.

Why would you want to go lights and sirens through a mud pit?
You most likely won't get arrested, but you will get a work order to take it out. However if the cop is having a bad day he can get you for impersonating a public servant which can land you in jail.
Bottom line everyone... IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LEGITIMATE REASON TO HAVE LIGHTS AND SIRENS, DON'T PUT THEM ON YOUR VEHICLE!
It's illegal, and makes all of our jobs (our meaning police, fire, ems, state highway) a lot harder. The police don't give a damn if you're in the mud pits, garage, show, or where ever. If the vehicle is driven on the streets, and is not used as a first response vehicle, leave the lights and sirens off.
