Great, all we need is more officers out giving people tickets instead of solving crimes.

I'd be more impressed if the spoiler was 10 inches higher, he had the aforementioned spinning rims, and neon lights on every possible nook and cranny.

Oh and he better be pumpin' that Biggie with some 18's in the trunk and 50,000 watt amp.

You can't forget some hydraulics. He needs to be bouncing down the street while bouncing his head to Biggie.

I've been thinking about getting hydraulics for my Nissan Sentra, they really kick ass on my Golf.

The GTO is so fugly...I wonder if they throw any bolt-ons on that POS?!?!?!

I always thought they looked hawt on a huffy.. It would be sweet when your riding down the road and see a hot girl and you start hitting the switches on the 10 speed.. It makes the girls go crazy I tell ya.

how much of your money do they spend on a car like that?

Well, either somewhere around the appx. 30k sticker price for a GTO like that, or maybe nothing. It wouldn't be the first car that a siezed car was used for such purposes.

Seeing that car again...made me throw up in my mouth.

If you knew what you were talking about you'd be dangerous. Did you know most criminals are caught during traffic stops. Let's look at an example, hmmmmm Timothy McVeigh. Caught because he had dead tags. That was it. The majority of your drug and gun transporters are caught because of traffic stops. They look like criminals to me. How do most criminals get to and from their crimes, vehicles. And a majority of the time, they drive like morons. Probably a larger percentage get away. That police GTO is just another tool to catch the morons out there who drive like they have a Nascar license. Go back and watch another episode of CSI.

Well that's all well and good, but how are you going to figure out who to catch if you are not investigating the crimes. Seems like we need to have more investigators instead of traffic officers, because many people are still be robbed, raped, and killed every day.

Seriously, listen to what he said. "Most criminals are caught by accident."

That's not a glowing endorsement for more traffic enforcement, it's a damning condemnation of the abilities of the police force!

Some criminals are also caught for traffic violations and released. Example, Malvo and Muhammed. They were stopped for something and released. The MAIN reason the police are getting new and different unmarked cruisers is simply to be able to catch more people off gaurd. Most people know to be aware of crown vics etc.

That isn't a VSP car - the license plate ends in "L", which denotes "local" government. State cop plates are either regular VA tags or government plates that end in - wait for it - "S".

just a ripple in your collective pond of knowledge!

carguy you are a - wait for it - twat.

I hate that "wait for it" shit.

The comment about the ripple in the collective pond of knowledge though. That made me laugh. The pond around here is about 1 inch deep, and it's more of a cesspool than a pond really.

Hey, I was simply relaying information. Sorry to cause you so much emotional hardship in the process. Looking forward to reading your LiveJournal.

eh i think thats a pretty cool cop car....sucks though that they have one
those are quick

Again, you have no clue. I don't know where you live, but Fairfax and most of the northern VA area doesn't have robberies, rapes, and homicides everyday. Look at DC. There are over 3500 police officers with a population of 500,000. Fairfax has 1,300 officers with 1.1 million rsidents. DC still can't handle their problems. They are in a condensed and uneducated area. Education is the key to solving and preventing crimes. Job training. drug rehabilitation. Most crimes are fueled by drug addictions. You can solve a million crimes and put people in jail, but they'll get out eventually. Then we start all over again unless people in the community try to help those people before being released. But are you willing to step up and help someone? Want to solve crimes, get the community involved. You get involved. But you are probably one of those people that believes it someone elses problem so I'll look the other way until it personally effects you. It pisses me off when people write threads bashing the cops when you know deep down inside, the police will be the ones you will point your fingers at when somethiing doesn't get done to your expectations. our society wouldn't even exist civilly without law enforcement being their to protect your rights. Fairfax County has an average crime solving rate higher than that of the national average. Not every crime gets solved, but I guess watching CSI and LAw & Order shows has given you a false impression of how crimes get solved. The responsible people of this community have requested more traffic enforcement because the minority of idiots drivers in this area can't drive safely. If you ever read the paper or watch the news, most of the people killed in this area is due to traffic related deaths. Not drugs, not shootings. Traffic related deaths (DUI, racing). So if most of the people in the area are being killed from traffic accidents or seriously injured from traffic accidents , you focus more on traffic issues. For every person arrested in the area, there are probably 3 to 4 people being taken to the hospital from traffic accidents. Ride with an ambulance for a night and you'll see. Or go ride with a cop and you'll see, or do you not want to take the time to see for yourself. There are two types of laws police are responsible for enforcing, traffic and criminal. They both have to be enforced. Are some cops out there more of an asshole than others, absolutely. But whenever you go out drinkning or shopping, do you always find the perfect employee in a happy mood. I don't think so. By the way, that isn't a VSP cruiser.

SWweeman, I gave up reading your post after the 12th grammatic and spelling error, and that was only about half-way into it. I'll bet I can find some drug addicts with better English-writing skills than you have.

Hey Kevin, I resemble that remark

Can you name the 14 punctuation marks by heart?

Just a shot....

comma
period
hyphen
dash
exclamation mark
question mark
colon
semi-colon
quotation mark
apostrophe
ellipse
parentheses
brackets
braces

damn, you must have watched that same "west wing" episode a lot more closely

(putting on my best 'chantucky accent....)

i be a-guessen that all dat time in Mrs. Haynes engrish class in CHS had done me speaking real real good....

(/accent)

Too much time spent in English class, back when they made you learn all of the mechanics of the English language. I do not know what (or how) *they* are teaching in English class today (figuratively, unless you are in summer school) but it is not the "core language" that was required knowledge.

That's a Franklin County VA sheriff's car. He's sitting at Boones Mill, VA southeast of Roanoke on US 220.

It's a forum. Who cares. Last I checked, I wasn't writing to impress you or anyone else. I'm pretty sure there are several drug addicts that can write and punctuate better than me and most of them live in Great Falls or Chantilly. At least in a few years, I'll still have the ability to write and speak with a full mouth of teeth. I was hoping for a better rebuttal to my statement than a grammar lesson.

P.S. I beleive this last statement had less mistakes and is acceptable to your high standard.

I was hoping for a better reply than a (15 years out-of-date) stereotyping, you better "beleive" that!

The funny thing is that if you knew me, you'd know I don't really have any standards.
What's the reputation of Great Falls? I planned on living out there some day.

Great Falls? Seriously, only wealthy or close to wealthy people live in that area....educated people, so you may not fit in (as I don't)

of course fitting in doesn't mean shit unless you care about your neighbors...

Oh I know what that area is like. I was wondering what the previous poster's stereotype of Great Falls and Chantilly was alluding to.

sorry I didn't realize who I was replying to Kevin.

About the guy saying how police need to solve more crimes...yeah the police are to serve and protect you moron, detectives solve crimes!!!

Unleaded $1.7something.

I remember those days.

Please consider:

"who" instead of "that"
"believe" instead of "beleive"
"fewer" instead of "less"

It's an internet forum, not a Phd thesis paper. Get over it.

Whoever it belongs to, they've either had it for quite a while, or it is a seized vehicle because the car is 5 years old. (2004 GTO)

I AM A OFFICER AND I HAVE A SILVER 6.0 LITER GTO FOR A PATROL VEH. ITS FUN TO POLICE IN AND NO IT WASN'T A SEIZED VEH. ITS UNMARKED AND FAST 400HP FROM THE FACTORY LS2 CORVETTE ENGINE. I LOVE IT WHEN THE KIDS WANT TO RACE ME AND FIND OUT THAT MY CAR HAS BLUE LIGHTS.....:)
