Amusing misuse of a police car.....

[wildcat45]

I thought this might kick start an amusing thread.

I've just spent the morning with a mate who is a retired traffic policeman. As you can imagine after 30 or so years on the roads in uniform, he has some takes to tell.

He told me this one today.

The guys had just taken delivery of a new Range Rover traffic car. The original 2 door. It was fitted with a telescopic masr which carried floodlights for use at the scene of an incident.

One crew thought it might prove useful in their "hobby" of shooting rabbits. They took it out to the moors extended the light and using an air rifle, collected a bag of bunnies for dinner. The floodlight worked like a charm.

It would not retract at the end of their poaching mission. Apparently it wasn't supposed to be used on the move and had somehow got bent..... The Range Rover was returned to the workshop covered in mud with a partially extended and crooked mast. It had to go back to the makers to have a new one installed at great expense.

I understand there were "consequences" for those involved.
