I think it's better than crushing them like in California.....

Reminds me of the time my father was up near Merrill, WI and spotted what looked to be a `87 Grand National with police stickers/lights on it. He followed it back to the police station and actually talked to the cop driving it. Sure enough it was a real `87 GN that was seized in a drug bust years ago that was turned into a fully functional cop car. The cop said that they only take it out on nice days and that it has super low mileage because of it.....

If I was to get pulled over in that it would make getting a ticket a little easier.....:goof

They do that in South Carolina too. Here in Beaufort, there is a Civic with a fart can, wing and a bunch of stickers, a few Mustangs, even a Dodge Ram on big wheels with a cowl hood. Up in Charelston, there's a LT-1 with spray they confinscated a few years ago. It's the DARE car now I believe.

They also did it in illinois, several mustangs, camaros, and a few classic muscle cars/hotrods that they confiscated and are now being used by the state police

Don't we even have confinscated vehicles here in WI being used as police vehicles?

Maybe not from street racers, but from drug busts, etc...

In pheonix AZ they did that too, and they would try to get you to run them, race you for a second, let off and pull behind you, busted, one more car for the fleet....

Why the **** would they show the two cars they took and TOLD people they would be turned into cop cars. Now people are just going to look for a blue Cobra and a Blue 350Z w/ a CF hood.

I don't think it they were confiscated and converted so much for a sneak attack as much as a warning of what will happen. I like that cobra too!

A few years ago windlake had some undercover f-bodys. One had super dark tint and I asked the cop about it at the gas station. He was a total prick and said "you got a tint meter? what are you going to do?"

"It takes a certain kind of person to be a cop"

sadly most of the time they are not the right kind of person

we have confiscated quite a few in dodge county, mainly from drug busts. the big boss drives a 02 Harley Davidson F150 and we have a Navigator and Excursion they had 22" and 24" respectively but were removed for something a little tamer :)
