David Galbraith, 38, bought the items on Amazon before heading out on the road where he was spotted driving at speed near Bellshill by on-duty police who initially thought it was an unmarked vehicle.
A driver was caught pretending to be a police officer after he attached a fake siren and flashing blue lights to his car.
Other motorists took evasive action believing they were making way for a police pursuit on the busy road in October 2022. But Galbraith was pulled over after officers discovered the car had no links to Police Scotland. Galbraith, of East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted operating the lights and siren in a way that was 'calculated to suggest' that he was a constable.Depute fiscal Rosemary O'Neill told the court: "The accused was noted in a car by police witnesses who were in a marked police vehicle.
"Police activated their lights to indicate the accused to stop but he continued to Bellshill before coming to a stop at a set of traffic lights.
