  I’m sure the police will notice that crime suddenly only happens when it rains.

    Does it rain in Vegas though? Sorry, never been there.

    They probably didn’t spring for the 6k clear coat.

  Waste of taxpayer.funds

  • invertedspear@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The ten vehicles were fully funded through private donations.

    Those private donations could have done better, but at least it wasn’t tax dollars.

      I still think many tax dollars were used…

  Imagine being a cop, doing your best To Serve and Protect impression, only to have your car lock you inside and incinerate you, at a time of its choosing.

    Or at a time of the choosing of the one rich dude who has root on all the cars.

  I hope these were donated.

    Donating cybertrucks almost feels like a way to sabotage the police. Almost.

    They were (I messed up posting and didn’t link to the article which explains this)

  I guess they gotta do something with all that inventory nobody wants to purchase. Keep that stock price up.

  I can’t think of a better group to force to suffer using a Tesla than a bunch of pigs.

  Wow did US police learn nothing with the Explody Crown Vics? Gonna be hilarious when these guys fall apart during a chase. The “perp” will just need to drive through a puddle.

  source

  • blackbelt352@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Was the crown vic explody? I know the Pinto was because of how the gas tank was built, and the Crown Vic had a bunch of recalls because it was just stress tested that much by nature of being commonly used by cops and taxi companies but I don’t recall the crown vic having major flaws like that.

    • ThePantser@sh.itjust.works ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes they suffered the same issue as the Pinto, Explody from rear ending.

      First time im hearing of it as well. I even had a CVPI for a short time and was impressed with the build quality

    It’s not the chase itself. It’s the “defensive” driving maneuvers and the getting bumped by a beater that will get officers cooked in an unopenable tin can.

  just ride out into the desert, these things get hung up on napkins for fuck sake.

  Do they glue the handcuffs on the perpetrators?

  I… presume the warning sirens have been replaced with a clown horn honking sound?

    Oh my god it’s so fucking pathetic to choose cybertrucks I didn’t even think of what else they could have bought.

  I'm gonna laugh when they start losing fingers to the doors being slammed on their hands.
