Police do not have to identify themselves or their cars in an investigation until the actual arrest. I guess so long as they don't operate like a cab or exchange money they would be ok.
But, good point on the cab
since all cab drivers in States have to be licensed cab drivers and insured as cabs. I guess technical that could also be considered running a business, so a business license would be required.
Also vehicles for hire in VA are required to have different tags and display commercial decals-
