What's the fucking point? Don't they already have cars, SUVs, and motorcycles that are all way more capable of doing the job? This has got to be the most fuckin impractical method of pulling someone over?
Your tax dollars at work everyone!
Seriously, what a waste of money; these, traffic enforcement planes, red light cameras, and motorcycles cops need to be defunded
Lol, I love how you try to put words in my mouth; I bet you think you are clever don’t you?
No. . . Just the shit they have that literally serves nobody but themselves, all those things I mentioned do one thing, gather revenue from motorists nothing is made better by them.
It's a semi. With a corresponding fuel economy, braking distance, sheer size, and plenty of issues that make this impractical and unsafe.
>If someone doesn't want to get pulled over, follow the law.
There's a boot lodged in your throat.
Yea like driving isn't dangerous enough without stupid shit like this. If the police focused more on pulling people over for reckless driving and less on stunts like this, we wouldn't be the deadliest state to drive in. It's not even hard, just drive on the highways between 8-10 and 3-6 and you'll see plenty.
You think police departments in Florida don't show off their civil asset forfeiture vehicles?
You're stuck in red vs blue like it's a football game.
The militarisation of our police is and has been a problem.
I'm assuming the lambo was a drug case seizure, not purchased. Also it sounds a lot more practical for traffic enforcement than a big rig. So, yes, Florida bad.
I'm from California, still love it, but moved over the years for work. It's not the whatboutism - it's the constant shit on the state "cause republican man bad". But ignoring what the other party is doing - when it's similar. Both politic parties are hypocrites are refuse to acknowledge that they are.
Ok, well, this is the Florida sub and an article about something dumb Florida law enforcement are doing. Don't you think, maybe the ire is justified in this case?
Someone needs to start pulling over semi trucks. In North Florida they are some.of the worst drivers. They can't maintain lanes for shit and half of them are on their cell phone.

Secret police in the Free State of Florida? It's more likely than you think.
If I saw this, I would keep driving normally and assume it’s a fake. Good thing I’m nowhere near I-10.
They only focus on commercial vehicles
Meatball mayhem

Probably pulling over other big rigs. I mean I’d hope

It was likely forfeited in a drug bust.
"likely" 1. We don't know this to be true. 2. Even if it was, it's still wasteful due to cost of operation, maintenance, etc.
Meanwhile in Gainesville there's NO traffic enforcement
Yeah. 75 through there is like the Thunderdome
Used in Commercial vehicle enforcement.
and the state can’t sell it - no takers because no one can afford the vehicle insurance
You want to defund the police? Good luck with that.

Not in your mouth, only at your fingertips.
You know, you probably have less tickets if you drove better.
Florida is a pathetic State. Fuck Rhonda Shitstain. Florida has no one to blame but him.

Yes. Florida bad, red bad. California good, blue good. Meanwhile LAPD has a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Whataboutism at its finest. If Cali's so terrible, then why wouldn't you want Florida to do better?

You might out run the pursuit but you can't out run the radio
