Do all Florida counties require green and white?

These are the agencies local to me.  The Santa Rosa Chargers look pretty good.  They also use Explorers for K9 and FTO's.  I have seen a few marked Chevy 1500's and a Dodge Ram as well.   They are phasing out Impalas and Tahoes.  The Charger in the pic is missing the light bar. The second Charger with the Ghost lettering  is used by some K9, Traffic, and Admin staff.

The lettering does remind me of this

Here is the next County over.  They predominantly use Tahoe's, with a mix of some marked Impalas for traffic units, and unmarked Tahoes, unmarked Impalas, and unmarked Ford Fusions for admin and investigators.

No armor? Besides having roughly the same offroad capabilities as a Jeep, what "special response" is that good for? I could see an up armored one being useful for SWAT if they couldn't afford a bearcat, but that looks about as useful as an AR pistol with a backwards Eotech on it.

Lemonjello has shoes just like that.

Michigan with that corny Homey bucket of a light on top? Har. I'd vote that one for last place.

Everyone votes for their own state but I do honestly think AZ looks the best, though only on the Yukon and not the Exploder. Alaska a close 2nd. MA is hilarious and none of them are really striking.

Reading that 'story' I truly believe it happened that way.  I have worked in a place infested with 'yes' boys.  Was funny as fuck when the person who promoted them all left and someone else with a different mentality, just expected you to do your job, was put in place.  The 'yes' boys didn't know what the fuck to do.

Chargers have or at least had well known issues with brake fade under spirited driving conditions.
It was a pretty serious issue with them. Also no cop should be doing 150 mph on the road under any circumstance. When they pile one up and kill somebody at that speed they face charges for it just the same as you or I. Most agencies forbid that sort of nonsense in their pursuit policies.

It's been my observation that the Fords are more common in municipal departments and the Chargers and Tahoe's are more regularly seen on the highway. Probably because the Chargers brakes can't stand up to stop and go driving in town.
That makes no sense considering the Charger needs to go from 150-0 more often on the Highway.

The police package chargers do (at least as of 5 years ago) have issues with brake fade during long city traffic runs. No problems with the Ford's, but the NA 3.7L won't get nearly the speed between traffic lights as the Charger would.

The Fords also do better with tight, low speed turns. Easier to make a U turn rather than 3 point turn and do better in tight alley intersections.

Yup, several years back. They are un-Godly bright now. Feel like you can see it for miles. Still not quite as bad as the fucking roof-mounted disco laser-light rave party that some agencies try to ruin your eyesight with.

If nothing else, there is value in giving police vehicles distinctive markings for the same reason there is value in giving police officers distinctive uniforms.  So you know who they are.

Sure the out side looks pretty, but how is the comfort level for the passengers?

I have to give it to the Missouri Troopers for best accommodations. The rear seats are very firm, you can move around and be comfortable, unless cuffed to the floor, damn that causes some accessive discomfort. And they always ask if I am comfortable, if the cuffs are to tight.

Sometimes I think they are kidding me.

Real deal on a few cars.  Much butthurt ensued and they had to get rid of the stickers.  I grew up near there and remember the original story from years ago.  The part on the door about stealing donuts I'd swear is Photoshopped.  I don't remember that being there in the original story when this all happened.  We'll Kick Your Ass was definitely legit though.

Maine's car is ugly as sin.... a nice livery that no longer exists is the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. They were the State's equivalency of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They were merged with the Florida Wildlife Commission (Game Warden) a few years back.

Another agency that no longer exists that was also merged with FWC was the Florida Marine Patrol.
