So the Aust. Gov't is able to justify spending tax payer money to provide cops with hotrods...
quoting from url posted by Mike above:
Lol, they use those hotrods for PR exercises... do the ticket-writers really think they can endear the public...?Quote:
Officers primarily use the V8-powered machine for public relations purposes. The car is often displayed at events including V8 Supercars and drag race meetings.
Police in Sydney have used a range of cars for PR purposes including a Porsche Panamera, Lotus Exige and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
NSW highway patrol has been criticised in the past for ordering high-performance versions of local sedans that cost more than regular V8 or turbocharged models.
And they have time to do PR exercises instead of chasing real crims...?
You guys missed the recent drama when there was a rumour about the Holden GTS SC Highway car expiring as well ;)
I missed that one.
Was everywhere for a couple of weeks Joe, HUGE controversy!
I tend to keep my head down, so I miss a lot of stuff (or it misses me)... here in US we don't see much non-US impacting news.
