Exclamation Lexus GS Joins Dubai Police Fleet

Lexus GS Joins Dubai Police Fleet

The Dubai police already have cars from luxury automakers such as Lamborghini, Bugatti, BMW, Audi and Aston Martin.

LOL. They probably use Mercedes G-Wagons for the gardeners and maids.

BEHOLD... The most reliable of the Dubai police fleet. In all seriousness, that's weird. Why all of the expensive foreign cars for the squad?

Ok Lamborghini and Ferrari for police cars was awesome but a Bugatti Veyron is just plain showing off. Lol

70% of Dubais residents are millionaires or billionaires so they all must drive BMW M5s and Benz AMGs so the Dubai police needs cop cars that can out run those to enforce there speeding laws maby?

Yes, Dubai is like Las Vegas for the wealthy. Very contrived and over the top.

If this is so, I don't think the GS could keep up. LOL.

Could it be like it is here in the states? Confiscated vehicles (from drug runners, repeated DWI's etc.) become property of the confiscating jurisdiction to use as they wish. Auction off, or turn into a cop car! I have seen Corvettes used as unmarked cars here in NC and when I lived in VA. Of course not without controversy. The force was going through lots of tires on those Vettes! Those puppies are not cheap!
