We've solved that as a society.

People can affix fake sirens to their cars and if they blare them at you you should pull over... after the incident society then throws an incredibly harsh penalty at the offender.

To make sure things run smoothly it benefits society to never doubt or question whether people who say they're police officers actually them - they might have something incredibly important to say (Like, hey, there's an active shootout ahead - please don't keep driving and get yourself injured).

If you as an individual create some funny gag to fake out autonomous vehicles into thinking that you're a cop whether you cheekily do it with "TOTALLY NOT A COP CAR" written on the side to get a laugh or not... you're almost certainly going to be charged with a felony crime.
