Cant see an issue personally, right tool for the job etc. This will be used in urban areas, not high speed motorway chases.....
Ed Zachery. Its not as if they will on the M25 chasing speeders, more going round the houses telling loved ones of their loss. Or whatever else they do around town...

I guess the idea is that you turn up in this thing and the criminals fall on the floor laughing making them easy to apprehend.

Sussex Police tried this 3 years ago:


But then they also tried this:

Can you imagine the point in a car chase when the scrote in a stolen corsa jumps out and belts it over a wall and through someones garden. I can just see the PC now crawling out shouting "come back" followed by grunts and muttering "for fk sake what a stupid car" under his breath while clambering up off the road!!biggrin

Good idea.
Shame Chris-R [ and others - grow up Clarkson clones ] seems to think it's amusing to ridicule it. We NEED electric cars so there is more petrol left for us to use at the weekends in our fun cars.

I was about to comment about the Q7 in Glasgow, but somebody beat me to it... A few years ago that was in the Scotsman, and the article mentioned the police fear that the gang it was taken from would be seeking prompt revenge. Don't think it's been seen much since then...

Also, as mentioned, in Edinburgh there a couple of police Smart cars. I openly laughed when I saw one; the men inside (2 fully grown men) didn't look too impressed.

Quite. I just lost a fking huge dollop of the already tiny bit of respect TVP have earned from me over the years. The whole thing is nothing but an attempt to gain some brownie points from the green brigade. Well fk the green brigade, just get on with the job of preventing crime and leave the golf cart movement to the smug assholes who are too stupid to work out that as far as helping the planet goes, fuelling their cars with coal instead of crude does the square root of st.

Probably auctioned off after that.

What's amusing about this ?
Police being careful about their spending budgets, what's not to like ?
Perhaps you might like to pay higher rates so they can ride around in a luxobarge.

If they want to be THAT careful, buy them some pushbikes.

Supposedly for 'local' use aren't they ? confused

Who is going to tax, insure and maintain these foreign products ?

Another fine example of taxpayers' money being squandered. irked
