Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / December 2007black and white police car - your thoughts??
Several cities have gone back to black and white as their police car colors. I find that disturbing. It implies a 1960's mind set and a distancing from the notion of community policing. > Several cities have gone back to black and white as their police car > colors. I find that disturbing.

I really don't care what the police cars look like, so long as they are easily identifiable as such. There's far more important issues to worry about... nate > > Several cities have gone back to black and white as their police car > > colors. I find that disturbing.

Anyway, the town I grew up in has had black & white cars from as early as I can remember, sometime in the 80's, to current. I like it because they're easy to spot from a distance. > > Several cities have gone back to black and white as their police car > > colors. I find that disturbing.

Except for the bubble top you can't tell a cop car except by the emblem on the door. Even have regular patrol vehicles without the bubble top. State is running on of those Dodge hot cars with no indication at all except for the grill and dash lights. It is set up so when he lights 'em up, there is no doubt that it is a cop...or at least a good fake. Harry K >Several cities have gone back to black and white as their police car >colors.

More like he remembers why the warm fuzzy colors were chosen in the first place. I vaguely recall reasoning similiar to that. > Several cities have gone back to black and white as their police car > colors. I find that disturbing. I find it more disturbing that you find that disturbing. -- C.R. Krieger >> Several cities have gone back to black and white as their police car >> colors.

Most fire engines are red - why aren't you disturbed about that? And even though many State Police cruisers are NOT black and white, why must they ALL have the same paint scheme??? My head hurts already! A great story growing up in Mass. --- at a time during the early '80s, Stoughton's police cars were yellow. Yes, yellow. They had dark-colored cruisers before that, and legend has it that too many graveyard shift cops would pull off the road to catch a few z's. With yellow cars, it would be more difficult to do this and their superiors could spot them if they did. Ha! I believe they now have black and white cars.

Or was it really so that they could more easily sell their worn out police cars to taxi companies, who would then not have to spend a few dollars painting them yellow?

SignatureThere's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one. |
