I agree with one respondent that the average driver is more likely to confuse a civilian Crown Vic for a police car than any color Beetle. Besides, isn't it to the CHP's advantage to have more black and whites pacing traffic?

I am from San Ramon, and they along with the Dublin and Walnut Creek police have nothing to do. :rolleyes:

In Hawaii aren't all the police cars personal cars at least on the big island marked only with a blue magnetic light attached to the roof?

The island of Hawaii (Hawaii County) has a relatively small budget, so instead of maintaining a fleet of Crown Vics, they subsidize patrol officer's vehicle purchases and fuel. Over on Oahu/Honolulu, we have the cruisers and subsidized vehicles, mostly SUVs, but also including a lot of Mustangs and even at least one Nissan Altima.

Thanks MTI I was waiting for you to clarify that one :)

That makes sense financially. I was over in Kona awhile back and I saw a Ford Explorer and a Pontiac Ram Air Firebird on the side of the road and I saw that to be strange for police cars.

Sounds like a fun retirement job although I doubt there are frequent car chases. ;)

Ah, so those were Geek Squad's beetles. I thought the cops got better taste in cars.

Seriously though, this is stupid. But, I guess as one guy pointed out "don't wanna be mistaken for a cop and get shot" at the wrong place.

BTW sixto, I like the thread's title :D
