why do the police here have such fancy rides?

[oink]

Another one of those topics that should be made into a sticky that automatically pops up about once a year.

Yes, a Dept. owned vehicle fleet would cost the taxpayers a lot more money. Yes, they should still do it. Personally there is no way I would want my family riding in a car I hauled scumbags in. There were days I sprayed the inside of my car down with bleach and bagged my clothes at the front door and sprayed my shoes with bleach. I do believe in a take home car assigned to each officer to be used only for work related purposes. The cars last longer that way and you get about another half hour of patrol time per day per officer over a hot seat arrangement.
