Always have tool to cut and break the window stashed inside a vehicle. They are very inexpensive.
Probably not a good idea in patrol cars.
Back of a working police unit would be a bad place for such, tho...
No cell phone? I always have mine with me...in my hand or pocket.

Well, it doesn’t have to be stashed in the back-just stashed where a family member could get it before getting into the back. Better than baking to death.
Why wasn’t she beeping?
Don’t know why she wasn’t beeping.
Are there cars that only allow beeping when the car is turned on? I don’t remember such.
I don’t know. My car only beeps if the lights are left on or the keys are in the ignition. I don’t recall the article having a lot of details. It seems very strange.
Is the back of a squad car a cage?
How could she beep?
You don’t have a horn on your steering wheel?
Oh, I realized she couldn’t get in the front. I wonder what she was doing back there?
My horn doesn’t beep.
I didn’t realize that you meant the horn when you said beep. I assumed that she couldn’t get to the front-cop car - cage -maybe?
A partition between the back seat and the front seat prevented her from getting to the horn and she did not have her cellphone with her to call for help, sources said.
“It’s literally a cage,” said one Miami police officer familiar with the vehicle.
Perhaps she was disabled or somehow incapacitated.
Was alcohol involved?
She wasn’t Old-old.
I did not see that in the article-barely finished it when all the pop ups started blocking the screen.
Damn, horrible story. It’s a freak occurrence, as the back seat area of the vehicle is of course designed to prevent escapes by detainees. The vehicle design worked as intended. The problem is that this woman was in place where she wasn’t supposed to be. Tragic.
