I'm surprised: I thought the biggest crime in Canada was "insufficient politeness"...
The local police department here, the Los Angeles Police Department, just recently began using SUVs as patrol vehicles; the officers nowadays have to transport so much extra equipment (riot gear, specialized non-lethal weapons, assault rifles, protective gear, etc.) the switch to SUVs was necessary. It is still a bit odd to see the LAPD roll up in cars other than the old Crown Victorias or other large sedans...
The Beverly Hills Police Department has some better rides. I have seen both BMW and Mercedes SUVs, in full BHPD markings cruising around Beverly Hills, although it appears they are only used by senior officers/supervisors...
