One why does everyone respond with IS it that bad over there.

Second, I smell publicity stunt. It's just like the "Police Lotus Esprit" I saw at the motorshow in Birmingham 11 years ago. Never happened. Good for the cameras but can't see it happening.

Police were reported saying "Kap over took us and shouted out, eat my shorts." Police are still trying too work out the meaning of that statement.

Here in North America, some police forces are ordering Dodge Charger sedans, and many of these are equipped with the 5.7L Hemi V8, and have an (electronically limited) top speed of about 150mph. But most police forces are sticking to their trusty Ford Crown Victorias and Chevy Impalas, and while these can only do 130-140mph, they're still fast enough to reel in most perps, and in the case of the Crown Vic, has enough bulk and durability (thanks to it's trucklike body-on-frame construction) to ram even SUVs off the road if it became necessary.
