Police Cars in the US



Yes, just like you see in the Movies; American Police Cars are Large.

Powered usually by a 4.6 L V-8 engine, with 250 bhp, many come with enhanced and formidable front bumper extensions, so if needed they can force a vehicle off the road by bumping into it.

Comparing these standard Police cruisers to ones used in Prague... well there is no comparison. Ours are huge; Yours are tiny.

The other difference: It seemed there was usually at least two other officers, plus the driver in a Prague Police car when ever it zipped by. Here, there is usually only One Officer, the driver.

I always would shudder when I saw the Prague Police (top picture) speeding in their small Skodas down some wet cobblestone street at break neck speed. ...and I wondered, when I would see tourists and Praguers alike along with those hired to protect and serve splattered all over some building or sidewalk due to their unnecessary speed.
