A couple of emergency responder vehicles wired by a "licensed electrician" circa 2023
Shrink tube butt splices open to the elements next to the left hood hinge.
Center console jammed with nearly 30 feet of unnecessary wire.
They look like this because they were ready to ship and final inspection wound up spending HOURS uncovering all of the junctions trying to locate the problems when the systems partially failed.

The lead tech is a licensed commercial/residential electrician and this is his recommended method for wiring emergency responder vehicles. Their electrical life expectancy is roughly 2 years before corrosion and loose connections renders them not fit for duty so they get traded in, stripped of the emergency wiring and sold at auction.
Their only strong point is the factory upgrade "police package" with drive train and suspension upgrades.
Oh yeah, and when they splice wires that were initially cut to install the emergency responder equipment they use the same "wire nut" style parallel connections on one of a butt splice instead of using the end-to-end method as is what a butt splice was intended to do.
Usual stuff that gets spliced:
horn wire
starter
ignition
Accessory.
