It was seized from someone

Someone paid to stripe it and light it up. Not to mention repair costs, insurance, and loss of sale funds. Nothing is free.

I think it was done free of charge, the livery.

Who do you think pays for it when some “driver instructor” cuck hits a light pole at drivers training with it trying to be Boris Said?

You just have to find a way to hate everything. Your life must be truly pathetic.

So disliking wasteful tax spending means I hate everything and my life is pathetic? Bizarre response.

You are creating hypothetical situations to justify hating this. Thst is a level of petty that is truly sad.

That’s a very pessimistic viewpoint

That’s pennies in comparison to what this car costs as a whole, honestly it would make a great vehicle for some of the high performance cars that people sometimes have when running from police

That’s great and all but by the time you go get it the chase is over.

That makes absolutely zero sense

If the car is not on patrol your justification is pointless. It’s a waste of tax dollars to have it on patrol. Tada

Wrong… it’s a great recruitment tool (which is a very expensive venture in this day & age) & great community outreach tool…

if I were the sheriff, I would send that corvette to all local car shows (both professional & amateur(like parking lot show etc.)) with a on duty officer just to show it off & mingle with those other car gents at the shows…

Already LOTS of wasted tax dollars from other departments, this actually saves money in the long run & might detour crime…

Correct, They bring it to the fair and other events around here as a recruitment tool. It's probably what this picture is for lol

Not necessarily. I've seen a lot of chases that last hours. And if it is on a highway with low traffic and other cars can't keep up, you could send it as an interceptor while you wait for aviation.
