Very Sporty with the yellow stripe I'll give ya that, but I feel like it misses the classic Cop Car mark. But, What do you care anyway? Driving any Police car is Awesome!! Why do you think its called "The Job"? ...and every other show on TV is about it?

You folks are to be commended daily. Putting your lives on the line anytime you see someone with a minor traffic infraction. It's definitely underappreciated and underpaid. Funny how the folks that hate to police, always call them when they need help.

Now, the states forcing you to do things like DUI/safety checkpoints is a different story. But I know that orders from on high and not all people forced to do it agree with it.

If the "sh1t hits the fan" at my house, I'll definitely call you to come do the paperwork, LOL. I internalize my families safety (as much as possible) if you know what I mean.

Thanks for what you do.

I know check points are a large issue and I am not sure they are the end all answer but... the drunk driving problem is staggering. A class I recently went to had a stat they showed after 11 at night 1 in 3 cars are being driven with some level of impairment. Checkpoints being constitutionaly legal or not I would rather encounter them that way than after they impact someone.... those wrecks are brutal and always the inocentnonce get killed..

And I wish more people internalized their safety... there is so much evil in the world that the general public has no idea about... it's simple really... you are either the sheep dog.... or the sheep!

Now .. go out there and have a great day! Lmao!

My buddy works for Baltimore and every time we see each other we joke about this.

"You can lose the hat..."

"I like the hat..."

This is a great job, and as any guy will tell you, you couldn't make this sh!t up. There are times that make you mad, sad, and times you can't stop laughing. Here's a typical week in a nutshell.

They made us stop that a few years back someone chipped a tooth and sued. That's the reason we are the 14th largest manufacturer in South Carolina we where the 13th largest before that happened cut backs and all to pay for the settlement.

There's 14 companies making the scented pucks we pee on in urinals?

Why would tasting them check the quality??

14 in South Carolina not sure how many total big business! Bite test is for density if it can be easily bitten through can you imagine how fast the acids in urine would destroy this product. Below is my buddy who chipped the tooth and won the law suite after his settlement and dental work.
