    Someone please correct me if I am wrong. The article does not say where this is happening.

    AFAIK these might be illegal in the US but only by technicality since we have laws against flashing lights. Especially ones that could be mistaken for police lights. (yes I know they are box trucks not police cars. But while you are driving and just see the lights in your mirrors you might mistake it for police).

      Same in Europe, it’s generally not allowed to have distracting lights or signals on cars. Advertisements on trucks are only allowed if they are passive (e.g. painted or printed).

      Not a slam dunk, but I can confirm that the street markings look American, the license plates appear to me to conform to American sizing and placement, and there is an American flag (amongst a few others) hanging from a pole. Gonna say it’s most likely somewhere in the States.

        The company is a multinational, HQ in Florida in the US and Paris in the EU. We all get to share this one.
