i guess

i mean, im very against police departments acting as a business but i couldnt fault them for being able to get one at around 2K as the scrap metal alone is worth more

but from a practical standpoint in regards to proper equipment use and role......it makes no sense.



so if they bought them and instantly turned around and sold them for a profit i dont think id have an issue with it so much as them just buying one to look cool with

I'm not 100% sure on this. But I don't think they can sell them.

There expensive as helll, I'm guessing there is no shortage of funds in that sheriff coffer.

In the next 10 years just think how many agencies will have something like this.

yeah maybe even the post office

im sure they cant, part of the reason they probably got it for 2K

i was pointing that out as a conditional and one of the few reasons it would make sense for a police department to have one

After the initial 165 of the MRAP trucks were distributed this year, military officials say police have requests in for 731 more, but none are available.

why the **** did this get sent to the pasture?

really ODT, really? i dont think this even degenerated into a cop bashing thread

 

[NY63]

so there have been discussions before on here about local police departments getting those MRAPs from the DOD or whoever (the big ass military armored vehicles)

well, here is a video of the sheriffs department driving one around (no idea why)

*WARNING-the guys filming cuss and in general sound retarded"*

after seeing one being driven around.........what is the purpose? seriously it makes no sense (i hope that the vehicle was being driven for an actual purpose rather than just for the hell of it)
