why do cops do this

 

Are you trying to tie logic to the things cops do?

good point:D

 

On my holiday to the home land Cyprus I saw a few cop cars that are Evos and also Astra Turbos.

 

I remember seeing this picture a while boack of a Tokyo Police FD RX-7 and VR-4. I wouldn't want to try to run from those cops, not that I ever do run from cops.

 

Fleeing and eluding is not a crime.

ATTEMPTING to flee and elude IS.
(That means you've been caught!) :D

 

10 years ago driving from Liverpool to London I saw a Jag cop car and here in Oz we've had WRXs used by some cops for years - nice!

 

Some Japanese police car( Highway-Patrol ).....NSX, RX7, R34...

 

UK police forces will use any car if they can get one. Jaguar are quite common and historic police cars, used since the 60's as the crims used to use them and they were faster than the current police cars. Police jags were modified to be quicker

Knutsford police regulaly use porsche.

Theres even a force who has just taken delivery of a lotus elise.

Police used to use Ford Sierra cosworths in the mid 80's but found that they crashed them to often (hard to drive + very quick). So stopped.

The evo seems a rather bad choice tho as its 4,500 mile service interval which would be every month or so.

 

in england or somewhere in the uk they use skylines as cop cars too! INSANITY I TELL YA.. wouldn't mind bein a cop

 

Man, these are CRAZY Cop cars !!! ( Thanks a lot for the pics, EAST MOON)

I think the R34 would be a really nasty cop car on and off the highway.

By the way, what is the clear shield on the hood of the FD and the 34 for ??? Bullets protection ?

 

a skyline cop car
that picture ruined my day

 

I remember back in 1993 when my family drove through NC on vacation ever police car I saw was a Mustang GT. I thought that was so cool, but then again I was only 9.

 

Guess what the Aussie cop drives... you guessed it

V8 Holden Commondore... They are great in straight line but no way they are fast in twisty mountains

 

ya Bugs Bullets :D
That is a protection of the Bug .....mosquito, moth, and scarab beetle, etc...
They are the polices of a country area.

LYTNING does sub-minute laps at QR in his daily driver SS. That is at least 6 seconds quicker than any of the 8's. At least 3 of that is probably due to slicks, and I must mention he has got an extra 100 HP over stock.

I would love to see RIC SHAW's lap time in an '8 though :D

There is a thread somewhere about the QLD police using dressed up street cars that look like they belong to "enthusiasts" like us, and enticing others into doing naughty things on the road and then pinging them. The thread was called something about "Entrapment"...

Motorway police in Luxembourg replaced some years ago their Ford Sierra Cosworth for Subaru Impreza Turbo.

The Dutch motorway police used to drive Porsche 911 Targa, at all time with the roof off, wearing a full leather outfit and helmet like cops on bikes. Allegedly, the 911 was the only car that could reverse for miles and miles of traffic jam, on the service lane, without having an engine failure by overheating!

 

Man! I've been seeing yellow mustangs, with some nice rims, probably 5% tint all over that have nothing even hinting cop car, but it all starts flashing the famous "colors" from the inside of the cockpit, headlights, rear headlights, and if I remember, the headlights were tinted as well(except for the foglights).... reeally tight, in my opinion...but unfortunate for some of us...

 

I saw a C4 'Vette county car and a Camaro in Florida.

 

skyline, rx7, nsx, evo etc cop cars! thats some scary thought.
In california we regularly see camero ss police cars used by the chp with stealth cherries mounted and painted in only white, so that they can sneak up on ya w/o you ever guessing they're cops. Still, not as cool as the Lamborghini Countach police car that the Beverly Hills PD has - i hear its only for shows and stuff but still, a goddang countach po-po...

 

let's not forget the Italians' recent addition...a gallardo!

(silly msnbc...the top speed is 192 not 185)



A LOT more pics

 

Why do cops do these things you ask???
Picture this....
Some guy in a expensive car, sti, jag, corvette, etc gets pinched on a FBI sting. Low & Behold he's a drug dealer with about 5 kilos in his car. Cops Bust him, gets put in jail. Cops Impound car. They get a new paint job, some Police graphics on it, maybe a "D.A.R.E." sign on it, etc.
Now 5 years go by, this drug dealer gets out & sees his old car lookin like this! How Pissed do you think he is?? How Pissed would YOU be?
Just Something to think about.
I've seen it happen!

 

Dont speed in Italy...
