Sorry, little well-deserved rant from a law enforcement officer on behalf of all of us out there. Oh, not to mention the job we perform for well below what we deserve... Please don't mistake this as a defense for police corruption though. I know it's out there, and I see it even in my own agency in ways, although not necessarily financial...
All that aside, very nice cruiser. I certainly wouldn't mind having that for mine.  |
1) That's a waste of tax payer money to get the 21's which will actually slow the car down. I have no problem with Mustang and Camaro Police vehicles. But c'mon, paying for halos, painted roof trim and custom wheels. That's some beaurcrat spending someone elses money! They are going to put all kinds of light on the car anyway.
2) You volunteer to go to the movies that support the actors life style. Taxes are not voluntary. That's a lame argument.
3) I have high regard for the job, but you choose that line of work. Buy your own Camaro. That is irresponsible government!
