The LAPD Now Has a Lamborghini Cop Car, Because Charity

Los Angeles is a town of dreams, of wonder, of authenticity, heart, and soul. Oh wait. No. It is none of those things. Which is why instead of getting a Morgan Three Wheeler like my constant letters have suggested, they went out and got a Lamborghini Gallardo. Figures. Just like Dubai.

In all fairness, the LAPD Lamborghini isn't actually part of the force to show off, or just to keep up with the Emirati Joneses with their ridiculous Bugatti Veyron cop car, but was rather donated to them by a rather generous couple. Nathale and Travis Marg, who have a fiber optics company called Light Source 1, donated the use of their baby Lambo with its V10 sitting squarely in the middle, to the LAPD.

Instead of being used for high-speed chases and organ transport, like the Italian police Gallardo, it'll only be used for charity events to support the LAPD Air Support team.

Italian cops sure set the style. We walked past a parade ground in Rome. They had those three musketeer hats with the feathers bent way back over the back of the hats.

But of course they don't do high speed police chases because they are too dangerous to the public.

Another thought... Do you want to be the officer behind the wheel in a chase when the times comes to ram the perp and spin him/her out? In the lambo? That might be a "career limiting move" as we say...

You will not be able to out run that cruiser! I still think that all people who try to out run the cops —whould be shot with a panzerfaust! One of these should be in every cop car—a fireball explosion to end all runs—look great on TV too.
