I'm sure you've followed him in some of the other threads too, right? There's definitely another character that exists!

It's certainly an entertaining and fun character I might add.

Haha! …and I haven't even gotten started.

If this were another BMW forum that had a more loose Off Topic, pics would've been posted that nearly teetered the line on being a violation.

Just a slightly better version of that video. This claims 1080p but I'm calling BS on that. Still better than the initial one at least.

I just saw something interesting mahalom3. One of your department's Explorers was executing a traffic stop and had lights along the running board that corresponded with the other emergency lights. Friggin' cool!!!! Is that only on your 2020's/2021's? I wish our Explorers had that.

Most are meh! I'm partial to the California Highway Patrol car livery, but I do like the Vermont State Police SUV and the Alaska State Trooper SUV though.

Vermont’s green cruisers are a cute touch.

I was looking through those cars, just at the cars not the state’s name. I came across one photo and thought, what an ugly ass car…… I scrolled up, it’s Louisiana

Lol! I thought the same thing. No, really. I did! I just shook my head.

For the record, I have never seen that front vehicle patrolling anywhere! Just the suvs!

If it's anything like how the Camaro's were used here in California, the primary use was for commercial tractor-trailer truck enforcement. They are absolutely useless for anything else.

Sedan_Clan · 07-25-2021, 01:17 PM

Today's question for those who aren't working in law enforcement…..

….do you think you could be a cop in today's world? Why or why not?

upstatedoc · 07-25-2021, 01:19 PM

I could! But would be fired quickly.

vreihen16 · 07-25-2021, 01:23 PM

NY State's old "Sunoco Special" livery was at least bold and different back in the day, before the rules were changed (at the federal level?) to encourage police to use factory colors and decals to help retain resale value. IIRC, I think that they even went as far as specifying white or black only on municipal police cars.....

No.

Multiple factors. For one, I don't have the ability to remain calm when a child is hurt by an adult. Let's just say I'd be going to jail and they'd be going to the morgue.

Mucho respect for all officers.
