I thought I would share tonight's dumb idea.
I had seen something this afternoon on TV about car auctions in the state, and the cars varied on how they got them. Some were repos, some were taken from criminals or what not. So I had a thought.
Unmarked cars. Think about it. Every time someone sees a Crown Vic on the road, especially if it's clean, they assume it is a cop. BUT! No one would ever suspect the lime green Honda Civic with the rear spoiler and kick ass woofers would be a cop car.
So, let's say the Heavens split open and a cop arrests 10 people in one day. All of those people have their cars taken for whatever reason the cops take the cars. These ten cars are going to end up in auctions. Now. Out of those ten cars, let's assign them all a number. Pick numbers, we'll say 2, 4, 6, and 8. Now, those four cars, no matter what they are, are now for the cops to use. The rest go to auction.
So we have a lime green Honda Civic with a rear spoiler and kick ass woofers, a Buick LeSabre with a rusty hood, a BMW with tinted windows, and an Explorer (I'd toss in a "Bitchin' Camaro" but our State Troopers already have those). No one would suspect these cars are unmarked cop cars. Occassionally you'd get one that could outrun most cars on the road, which I see as a good thing (because if someone just shot me and got away in his BMW, I'd love the cop to be chasing him in something just as powerful and fast). But people would be afraid anything on the road could be a cop. Those morons who drive 120 MPH down the highway weaving all over the place wouldn't act nice because of a Crown Vic and maybe more of them would be pulled over. Besides... you pull a Crown Vic into the projects in Jersey City and everyone knows it is a cop. Now the lime green Civic or the rusty Buick...
I told you it was a dumb idea!
Would you suspect this as a cop car?
Oh! The Ideas!
Adding your comment:
Actually, I think the strangest is when they have those old beat-up cars. That's truly classic! I love this, Sis! Hugs, Patricia
