Looks like a Colorado Troopers car.

Mopar or no car in my book...

Meanwhile we foot the bill of their extravagant taste.

Needs a Push Bar in front to pit those Chage Dargers !

Not extravagant unless you are fleeing from them, just functional!

Back in the day (70's) I was a Chevy guy but the Mopars were pretty bad ass. Fords were a joke.

Some seized drug dealer's cars turn into police cars.

I am happy to do that myself.

If it is behind you with blu lights on then it may very well fit that description.

Like most guys, I'm a car enthusiast. But, I see no need for taxpayer funded vehicles to have premium alloy wheels and fancy upgraded heated/cooled Recaro seats and things like that. Especially when the typical reply when asked about road projects or infrastructure maintenance is always "we just don't have the funds" or "it's just not in the budget"

My state of Oklahoma for example, has wasted in excess of 260 million dollars adding a dome to the capitol building followed later by an extensive renovation of the capitol building which included a 'gazing pool' of all things. Meanwhile, our infrastructure is falling apart while the typical answer is usually "we're broke".

Politicians don't need to work in a palace while the taxpayer struggles to buy groceries and pay their bills, and taxpayer funded departments should only need basic yet dependable tools to work with.

Well said.

I spoke with a State Trooper her in Florida a few years back. He was driving a Vette. It was in fact seized from a drug dealer, painted Trooper colors, fitted with lights, radio, etc & put in service. I think that's fine.

This is exactly what I meant with my first response above. I don't doubt they need the horsepower, but all the flash and luxury options are not needed. You want to catch up to the reckless speeders it will take more than premium stereo and bling.
And Ford is NOT the way to go. They care about a lot of things, but building reliable vehicles today isn't one of them.

The choice where we are is Beamers. The odd Tesla in the bigger cities. Haven't seen a Tesla here in the country though.

No need for a pushbar if you can't catch up to the Mopars in the first place!

Colorado has been using the mustang for awhile now.

VERY SLICK!

Seems like it would be hard to get prisoners in the back

Just because a public agent says something was seized from a drug dealer does not make it true, or the process something less than repugnant to the state or federal constitution. This fact is proven out over and over again in our law books.

Then there is the example of weed laws. Only a few short years ago, feds would tromp into the states where they arrested individuals with a few bags of weed, then steal everything they owned (house(s), car(s), tools, business, etc.). They did so under the claim the individual was operating in INTERstate commerce. More often than not, no evidence to that effect could be found in the record of the case.

Bring us, now, to these days when states allow the growing, sale and use of weed, AND the fact the feds still claim weed is illegal, but no longer tromp into a state, unless they have rock solid proof of interstate commerce involving drugs.

Think of it like the gun free zones LGB bragged about getting in place. The U.S. Supreme Court struck those laws down, as never having been laws at all because, as the Court said, "schools have nothing to do with interstate commerece (U.S. v LOPEZ (1995)).
