A Police Car to Avoid

[robinchappell]

I saw this on BBC.co.uk and thought it might be interesting:

IGH-SPEED POLICE

In rural Bulgaria it's pretty common to see a farmer making his way to his fields in a cart pulled by a single old nag. The police in the capital, Sofia, can rely on a little more horsepower.

Police Porsche in Sofia

Confiscated convertible: Is this your car?

It's the only place I've ever seen the police drive a Porsche convertible. Completely with blue flashing light and repainted in white with smart blue stripes. This is not profligacy with public money but something odder. Like the BMW and Merc driven by the Bulgarian police, it's been stolen some where in Europe, shipped to Bulgaria by criminal gangs, and then confiscated.
