Seaside Police drives a Tesla
I was driving home when I saw a Seaside police car in Carmel near the Sheriff sub-station. This was odd to me but what was more odd was they were driving a Tesla. Don't know which model but it was a Oreo. Now what you should know is back in the day say 1980s Seaside was pretty whack with crack. Not quite Compton but the majority of the residents were brothas they're pretty much all gone and replaced by Vatos. Then again the real-estate is up since most of Seaside is a ocean view so the cops got the cash to blow?
Even the cops go all ghetto rich.

One gets up in Olympia and you see quite a few Teslas with state gov't plates.

In Florida, law enforcement confiscates all kinds of vehicles which they in turn use for undercover work and when the vehicle gets known in the area, they trade it off to another agency ................ they don't buy them, they steal them ......................................................... from the criminals ..................... 😁

They do the same thing here in Louisville.. Last one I heard about was a current model year Mustang GT. I believe it is currently being used in traffic enforcement

That seems like quite the conflict of interest.

If you're gonna have an interceptor, it might as well be one that can run!

Catoosa County in Georgia had the idea.
Catoosa County Sheriff Pontiac Trans Am - Code 3 Garage
Sheriff J.D. Stewart of Catoosa County Georgia understood the importance of a quick patrol car, and assigned Pontiac Trans Am's to his deputies.0 -

You can't seriously believe that.

The Seaside Police Department has upgraded two of their old police cars to new luxury Tesla Model Y vehicles. The department says the model comes with unique induction wheels for better handling and better performance in wet conditions. They add that the cars will also help lower emissions and reduce the city's carbon footprint. The police department is spending close to $354,000 on the Teslas and three Ford Hybrids, plus other costs associated with the electric cars. The funds are coming from the department’s supplemental law enforcement and asset forfeiture monies.

You can't be that naive.

Civil asset forfeit laws were passed to enable government to seize assets that were acquired through criminal means. They don't have to prove it they just have to suspect it . They regularly take cash etc from folks who have never done a thing wrong . You usually have to get a lawyer to help you reclaim your property, which may wind up costing more than the property is worth . Some shady polie departments around

My brother has a Tesla. It is fast as can be, and has unbelievable acceleration. Roomy back seat, it would make a good police car. Cost $65,000.
