Painting a car with military paint.
One of our clients has painted his SUV with military look and want to know if it is legal and can be done.
He has painted the car with original painting of the Spanish army. It has two stickers of the Marines on the doors of the SUV and two flags of Spain, one in front and one behind. Your question is: Would you can report to bring these stickers on the vehicle or military green paint?
Our response is as follows:In principle, we should not complain, because paint a green military vehicle is not a crime. In some countries or cities the color of some police or military bodies are registered as part of a trademark and can not be used. For example, the New York police has registered its navy. Or for example, paint and logos put a car so this is an exact copy of an official car is prohibited. And not the law, if not our common sense tells us that this car should not drive down the street. In fact, many fans paint their cars as military or police cars are not copied exactly to the official car, as these logos are registered trademark and can not be copied without consent. This is for example the case of the National Police and Civil Guard.The Spanish Army does not register its logo as a trademark, so we understand that we can use, always using good judgment and common sense.
Another thing that the vehicle is used to impersonate military for access to such facilities or pretend that one is military. In that case, anyone Deoxidizer of authority or not may denounce a crime of “usurpation of public functions and intrusiveness’, enshrined in Article 402 of the Criminal Code and indicating that” illegitimately pursues an estoppel authority or public official attributed official capacity, he shall be punished with imprisonment of one to three years. ” Either way, it seems very end and, if the case were to occur, it would always be a judge in a trial in criminal proceedings, who would assess the case. Sometimes some policemen are very corporatist. Take the case of a customer who called us as a policeman in his hometown, he said he could not put a small adhesive, about 10 cm. in your car. The adhesive was military. In that case, it is obvious that the Civil Guard was making a misinterpretation of the law. In any case, we told the customer that he should ask the Civil Guard was flouting law is just and right.If you want to buy vinyl to decorate your car in military style, instead of paint, question http://www.vinilos-camisetas.com
