Here's one of the local police cars just down the street from me. My buddy's kid was kind enough to pose for photos so that I wouldn't have to look like a troll taking photos in front of the cop's house. She's a cutie, but drat, that's some ridiculous stuff to put on a cop car.

I would've thought the Decepticons would be selling energon cubes on the street corner to innocent transformers for the ultimate buzz.

This Decepticons car is the one that is always parked in front of the school. Huh...

I cannot for the life of me tell if you're serious or not, so please clarify: Somebody in your local PD made the decision to paint logos from a line of children's toys onto the hoods of fleet vehicles? And nobody in town had an issue with that particular use of taxpayer dollars? I mean, I think it's hilarious if true, but it amazes me that there was not a shitstorm of epic proportions.

I'm serious, this town has decided that painting their cops cars like Transformers, or whatever else they feel like, is a good thing. People complain about all the money spent on cop cars, but don't seem concerned enough to do much more than gossip about it. I'll get a photo of one of the regular Autobot cars when I can.

Dare officers here spend a good chunk of their time going to elementary and middle schools, showing kids the cars and doing anti drug, and pro police education. So anything that gets the kids attention is good. Of course it would look like 5th graders designed it.

I like the idea of the cops having some fun with interesting patrol cars. I'd rather that funding go into hiring more officers to patrol for real crime and maybe improve the response time for emergency calls though.

veedubfreak posted:I think what people are missing here is that this is not a dually. It's a standard bed truck with dual rear wheels that stick out past the arch and are useful for nothing other than throwing poo poo tons of rocks at the vehicles behind it. If I saw this on the road, I'd be likely to start tossing pennies out the sunroof. Looks like an actual dually without the fenders, look closer. The standard fenders probably dont fit with the truck that low and they havent made new ones yet or something.

Police use asset forfeiture laws to seize people's houses and cars and anything else they drat well please. They then say, "prove it wasn't paid for with drug money".  The owner doesn't have to be convicted of anything and they still lose their property. Then the police drive around in their newly acquired vehicles with the DARE logo painted all over them. I can't say that those particular vehicles in that one town were seized vehicles but a lot of police forces' DARE vehicles are seized this way. It's complete bullshit.

Don't carry around more than a few grand in cash, by the way - all they have to do is say it's suspected drug money after stopping/searching you for any reason and you're never seeing it again.

I'd been looking for pictures a while back and never found it, but five years or so ago the anti-gang task force that the local cops ran used the COBRA logo on all the cars. As in, GI Joe COBRA. This included a really large edition of said logo on the tracked APC that the sheriff at the time decided to blow money on.

 Grabbed a photo of some sweet custom graphx on my way in to work. It was a lot more off-center than it looks in the picture. (yeah, my car needs a bath)  I'm from OKC and the tornado went through a buddy's neighborhood a bit south of me. That's a shot of his backyard taken from across the street - he found a silver Lexus on his back porch. It had crashed into his daughter's Barbie Power Wheels truck and now all anyone can do is make jokes about proving the wreck wasn't his daughter's fault.
