Cars and Transportation

The Overmind asked:


After watching those cop shows where the police are tediously chasing down and crashing into the car they are chasing, it would be more convenient if those police cars and the near-useless choppers were armed with machine guns and missiles. Wouldn’t it prevent innocents from being run over by the suspect as well? So why aren’t they armed with more lethal weapons?

I just saw an ad in the paper that Pittsburgh was auctioning off police cruisers and some other municipal vehicles. How much do the cop cars usually fetch at the auction? What kind of shape are they usually in? I’d like to know if it’s worth checking out.

I’ve noticed a lot of taxis in my neighborhood that are white Crown Vitorias that have a blue stripe on the side. When I see them, I often confuse them for police cars. Isn’t it illegal to drive a car that looks like a police car?
No, I was gonna buy a white crown victoria with a searchlight when I retire and spend my golden years laughing at people that slow down when they drive by me. Is that inpersonating a police officer?
