End of the Line for the Crown Vic in the THP

[blackout07]

I think cops should get cheap slow used dodge neons lol I dont care for trafic cops that hand out tickets all day . The only cops I care about are the ones busting up gangs and drugs and going after people that are dangours. Most cops are a hairline off of being a bad guy . Lots of power and they all protect each other.

 

 

A very high percentage of "gangs, drugs and dangerous people" are found as a result of traffic stops. Maybe we can get crystal balls issued along with the "cheap slow neons" so that we can decide which vehicles carry the aforementioned people before we stop them.

I've found that people who have issues with officers like that often have them because they got upset they were caught breaking the law. Like idiots who bitch about speeding tickets. I speed, and I know inevitably I'll get caught. Just the cost of doing business. If I drove the limit everywhere I'd never get anything done. 5-10 over on the highway on a long drive can save tons of time.

Agreed. That along with ignorance in this case.

yea cops let us go about 10 km over and that is fine but I just have problems with trafic cops is becuase they cost to much money in my opion . Only need a road cop to be seen for people to obey the laws of the road . They dont need a big budget for that I would prefere if they allocated the budget to cops that knock down doors and actually get criminals instead of a person going 15 kms over becuase they are late for work . Most cops know where the criminals are and dont do anything about it. Gangs and criminals are bigger than the cops and the law. Cops cant make money catching criminals so they fine and ticket normal people in there dodge chargers in style instead of making a difference and taking a high risk to catch a crook . Cops know where these guys are most crooks are 2nd or even 5times offenders but the law is just a slap on the wrist and the cops prob just dont give a dam anymore. I am really nagetive road cops . I have had only two tickets one speeding ticket and one parking ticket but if I go down to vancouver I see crime everywhere. Also people speed all the time a good way to kill that would be a system of cams on the highway that detect overspeed and take a pic . That would eliminate the need for half of the ticket pusher cops and can resigh them to actual dangours criminals.

I've been around a long time. I've been an auto nut since I was 8 years old. Anyway, in my mind, the name Crown Victoria never fit a big honking 4 door sedan. A little history for those of you who weren't around when I was a kid. The first Ford hardtop (no door pillars) was introduced in 1951. The name is short for Hardtop Convertible and Ford called their hardtops Victorias. In 1955 and 1956 they made a special model with a moulding that extended over the roof and came down and met the fenders (where door pillars would normally be. This model was called the Crown Victoria. The half of the roof forward of the the crown was clear plexiglass. At the time I had mixed feelings about the Crown Victoria because it took away from the open airy feeling of the regular Victoria. But, even though the original Crown Vic. was only produced those two years, that is the true Crown Victoria to me. And, the name certainly fits the design. I see no relation to the Crown Victoria name as it relates to a big honking overweight 4 door sedan.

Officers that work traffic enforcement don't cost anyone anything. Those who break the laws that are put into place by their elected officicals cost themselves. You clearly don't have a clue about what you're talking about do you? Officers don't make any money by stopping and ticketing the cool guy in the Charger. The municipality/local govt. take the majority of those spoils. Oh, and by the way...writing citations is part of their job.

 

Maybe my previous statement about violent offenders, narcotics, etc. being located on traffic stops was lost on you, but have you ever heard of interdiction? The vast majority of violent encounters occur on traffic stops, and unfornuately a lot of officers lose their lives as a result. Now, since you are obviously not a "bad guy," you may never see all of the other units within a law enforcement organization would you? You equate police work with the officer working traffic, which is a very small, but necessary, portion of what goes on. But you have no clue what else is going on, and that is frankly how it's supposed to be. Crime cannot and will not ever be eradicated in a free society, and all the police can do is "weed the garden." No matter how often you pull weeds, more will pop up.

 

As far as your previous statement about most cops essentially being criminals goes, you should think before you speak. Maybe when you observe crimes in progress, which you clearly often do by your statement, you should take action as opposed to calling on a "hair line off bad guy" cop. Of course I'm assuming that you do report crimes in the pursuit of bettering your community.

 

Your comments are actually quite common unfortunately.

The cool guy in the charger who gets a traffic ticket complains about all of the real criminals.

The guy with warrants complains about the real criminals, like gangbangers/people with drugs and guns that go around killing people.

The guy with drugs complains about the real criminals, like gangbangers/people that sell drugs and have guns that go around killing people.

The guy with the guns complains about the real criminals, like gangbangers/people that sell drugs and actually shoot people.

The gangbangers say their just protecting their neighborhood and complain that the cops should go after all of the aformentioned "real criminals."

The guys that murder people just blame someone else. That sounds familiar..

Sorry for my ignorance. I think there is a huge group of people with my mind set and attitude with how the system works and I believe if what you are saying is true that the general public should be educated more on how the system works and what is going on in the local communities or districts. Its tough not to care for cops when there is so much crime going on and seeing a cop sit on the side of the road just siting waiting for some guy to drive to fast or make a mistake.

 

I just see at least in Canada drugs getting worse and gangs operating more aggressively. I dont see that getting any better anytime soon unless something changes. Again sorry for my ignorant rant it was just a fit of anger. I believe in Canada people should feel safe to walk at night anywhere in town with there kids . There should be no such thing as the "bad section of town" . There should be no such thing as the small time local corner drug dealer. There should be no such thing as organized crime in Canada where a group of people make a living out of it . I personally believe cops/police and other powers that enforce the law should be so scary and have so much power that anyone doing drugs or dealing will be put to HARD labor building trail systems and the labor should be so intense that they have a high chance of dieing because don't need to many workers. People that use drugs and deal drugs are not afraid at all of the law and laugh at cops because cops dont have the power or just dont care . I see canada becoming a other mexico in the future if something does not change.

 

ok so the crown vic was reading about it on wiki

Discontinuation

 

In April 2011, the Ford Motor Company stopped accepting new orders for the CVPI, instead offering a version of the Ford Taurus. By the end of December 2011, manufacturing of the Ford Crown Victoria stopped altogether.

 

 

so this should be no suprise I guess .

[blackout07]

Like I said. Crime will always exist in a FREE society. The police simply cant solve social issues that breed crime. I do agree with you that it's frustrating to see light sentences and indifference from the courts.

 

Back on topic, the Crown Vic is nothing special. Word is, we are switching to Tahoes.

[MikeNH]

Back in NH this weekend and my hometown got a new Taurus cruiser. Stopped in to say hi and get a peek at it. Really love the aggressive look, interior seems nice. Guy on duty this evening likes it aside from the busy center stack all Fords seem to have now. It's AWD which is great for the north with the snow that we normally get. Still like the Carprice though, hopefully the MSP gets some to join the new Chargers in their fleet.

[f0st3r]

They tried the chargers down here and they just did not hold up. The local police still has one or 2 left, but most have died. The LSP uses mostly Tahoes and crown vics and I heard they will be going to a Tahoe/Caprice setup. Every thing I have read and heard is most cops love the new caprice.

 

 

[Dzlbudman]

My city just got 12 of these..

[truckofwinandawesome]

well, I just asked a DCSO Deputy today on what they are going with now that the CVPI is no Longer made, and he said they are basically sticking with Ford, and gonna be getting the Cop Taurus. (i bet the County has a deal with the local Ford Dealer.)

[Chris]

Those cop Taurus' and explorer's are pretty bad ass. Ecoboost twin turbo v6 and all wheel drive
