Why does it look like its a model?
By the shadows, it looks like a very early in the morning, or very late in the evening shot, the sun's very low on the horizon.
That makes for the odd look of the picture.

Plus some negative retouching on the window frame, possibly because of glare

Look closer. You have palm trees in the field over the gun. The gun is being towed backwards, and the ground under the gun is just NOT THERE. This photo is hodge podge of different shots. Just my opinion.
I agree. Having a close up look I noticed that the guy in the foreground is a figure rather. So I think that's a dio with a pic as the background. Also any officer wouldn't be running with a traffic wand especially on a in muddy road.
