The Los Angeles Police Department has gone and got themselves a Lamborghini.

With a starting price of $182,000, the 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo is the latest edition to the LAPD's fleet of vehicles, complete with traditional black and white paint and 'To Protect and to Serve' written on the sides, according to NBC Los Angeles. And in the land of high-speed pursuits, what better way to catch those bandits flying down the 101, right?

Wrong.

LOL!! Still have sadness for the first Miami Vice ride, (Noogie: “DAYTONA! 350 party car! Old school rocket ship to the moon baby!”), that was destroyed by a stinger missile during a weapons demo for Sonny and Rico!

Like a dog chasing a car. What’s it gonna’ do when it catches it? The cop in the Lamby will have out run all the other cops and will be all alone against the perp or perps.

Insanity. All this will do is escalate car chases and put more innocent motorists in danger.

They already have helicopters in the sky that can track a vehicle. There is really no escape for any vehicle in the LA basin once you have that "eye in the sky" on your tail. Just have the cop cars back off to a safe speed and the copter will tell them where to go.

“Some dumbass cop will get himself killed driving the thing. Mark my words.”

Ya, I’ll go and loose sleep over that idea. I’d be more worried about who he manages to hurt.
