    Still a waste of taxpayer money, local or federal.

    Depends on the person- I've never measured how much money can fit around my waist...

    Sorry, I love seeing spelling errors and turning them funny like this!

    The purpose of this is to spend free taxpayer money toward something that is an absolute waste of money. All this at the same time they complain they need more money to fund their department.

    These vehicles have their uses. The one used for my jurisdictional area has been used at least twice that I know of and has taken fire while rescuing police officers. Also a government grant and has to be shared with mutual aid jurisdictions.

    Yep... if I recall correctly they waited for the dealer to get some work done to the car and snagged him as he was pulling away. No tax dollars in that car just a good acquisition
