Why haven't we done this?

2011 P71: 19 cMPG
2013 Interceptor: 21 cMPG
2013 Utility: 18 cMPG

>cops drive a lot

>that's a lot of emissions
>propose that police fleets be stocked with cars that exceed 50 cMPG or pay a monthly carbon tax on every car that isn't compliant with the new regulations
>this carbon tax is incredibly high, so high it would bankrupt any police department almost immediately
>this also applies to motorcycles
>force the average cop to choose between a Prius, a Leaf, a Smart car, or an electric bike

:)

Police should just buy up the cheapest car on craigslist for fleet vehicles. I can only imagine how trashy the whole police force would look but god damn would it be cheap to the tax payers.

Fuck they would actually do this.

>We need to save the environment
>Retards vote for it
>Lol Tesla police cars
>Politicians and Musk get rich and the people pay for it

I think electric cars would be better for police, because they're constantly idling their engines, and that puts a lot of wear on an ICE. It's nearly harmless on a battery.

>model s costs $60k
>you can buy three prius primes for that money

yeaaaaah no

Knowing Musk, he might just give police departments cars for free.

>Model S costs 60k
>Prius costs 20k
>Go with Model S because it's the government's dime and Toyota isn't sliding you money under the table

I don't think you've ever met a politician

I don't know why more police departments aren't using Priuses. They're cheap, reliable, and spacious.

>gubment buys a shit ton of teslas
>costs a shit ton of money
>taxes skyrocket because elon musk is a businessman
>people riot in the street

I don't think you've ever paid taxes

More importantly, they're slow.

>Spend 70 million dollars to blow up some jets and an S-300 in Syria
>No one fucking cares

You can't out run a helicopter..or cameras

>local taxes jump from 21% to 49% because cops wanna go fast
>going fast is dangerous anyway
>voters make cops drive cheap, slow electrics to save lives

Do not underestimate the power of California Liberals.

>Departments buy cop-spec model s
>The base model but with the ludicrous software, musk sells them for $55k
>Go past parked cop, try to run
>0-60 in 2.4 seconds
>5,200lb of car PIT maneuvers you
>Roll 4 times, get tased as you try to crawl out

Good work asshole, you just made everything worse

Cant outrun a radio
Cant outrun a camera
Cant outrun a helicopter

Useless.

I think most people would still pull over.

thats why they get the model s's for. highway patrol get model s, every other pleb gets prius.

>yfw you get pulled over by a vegan yuppie police cunt who's super smug about his car and fines you for polluting the planet with your ICE

>Helicopters pollute aswell
Time for electric helicopters...

I would love to see it become mandatory for them though
