November 25, 200817 yr The Police departments across the US are one of the few state-federal-local municipality branches that do not have an automobile customized for what they have to do. Finally it is here. I wonder how long this takes to come out and if it does come out if every town/city will actually move over to these new cars. I know they tried the Dodge Chargers in some cities, but this would be nice if they actually came out with the E7 by Carbon Motors. Plus - It looks badass Carbon Motors Website Vide on the new car:
November 25, 200817 yr How can I get one of those without having to become a hall monitor with a gun???
November 25, 200817 yr And what will they use them for? Stopping you for a license tag that expired the day before and for going 5 miles over the speed limit.
November 25, 200817 yr Author Glad to see the American tax dollars going to a good cause :| I do not think they are really all that unpractical. I mean as they state most towns have specialized automobiles for even mailmen. Having hte ability to have cars that fit the profession would make sense. Obviously most of the work that the police force does does not always require a heavy duty automobile but overall it seems like a good investment.

But what exactly does this thing do that a Crown Victoria can't?

Eh, I didn't take the time to watch the vid, I'll admit that. It just doesn't seem necessary. Postal trucks, yeah because they're ergonomic, but idk.

November 25, 200817 yr Hey, just because there a few cops who are crooks doesn't mean they all are. They put their lives on the line to keep people safe, they don't deserve to be talked down to like that. W/e.

Well, not "crooks", but I got the sense that you guys were saying that cops are these "bad guys" who look around for little things to arrest people for, like driving 5 mph over the speed limit.

Yes and it gets on my damn nerves. Some people you even mention the word "cop" and they cannot even think of one good thing to say.

Yes and it gets on my damn nerves. Some people you even mention the word "cop" and they cannot even think of one good thing to say. The hilarious thing, too, is that people complain about being ticketed for going 5 mph over the limit or whatever... but they KNOW it's over the limit and against the law... so, I mean... that equates to "Yeah, I know I'm breaking the law... but only a little bit"
November 26, 200817 yr Author idk how people can complain about the cops down here you hardly see them. If I see one once a week it is a lot. Back home you could see 2 or 3 for every trip to the store. Especially in RI a lot of towns/cities make revenue from speeding tickets so they are passing them out left and right.

Kudos to you, I guess. idk how people can complain about the cops down here you hardly see them. If I see one once a week it is a lot. Back home you could see 2 or 3 for every trip to the store.

I guess they just do a better job of hiding down here.

Especially in RI a lot of towns/cities make revenue from speeding tickets so they are passing them out left and right. Maybe where you live, but places like Sweetwater are constantly patrolled. Way too many cops there, if you ask me. (Said by someone who knows a Sweetwater cop.) Also, my mother is one of the people who has something against cops, but I think that comes from living up in a military country where the police force was extremely corrupt. Of course, that hate disappears wherever she's needed them and they've come to help us.
