A slide show The taxi is a Real under cover police taxi I live in New York But I did not take any of these photos i got them from www.nyc.gov/htm... Also i dont own the song Which is Bad boys by Bob Marley
The blue cars with the white stripe down the side, in the 70s were the best. They LOOKED like cop cars. Nothing against the NYPD, but the white cars of today look sissified. Stay safe. Cop lives matter!
The problem is cops have the guns and use it liberally. To say that a gun-toting dude's life matters, is silly. He can protect himself, thank you. Think of all those unarmed people whose lives have been snuffed out by cops!
NYPD always had mostly beat up cars in it's fleet in the 80s when I was a kid living there, I even saw an in service 1977 Plymouth Fury in Queens in march of 1989. It's not uncommon nowadays to have 15 year old Crown Vics cruising around, but that looked so outdated at the time.
On that note, I was looking through a book on Mopar Police Cars, and there was a picture of a 1974 Plymouth Fury Station wagon, and the caption read that it was still in service in late 1988, when the photo was taken. It was a little worse for wear, but still not bad for being on the streets on NYC for all those years.
Great collection there, lovely vehicles, especially the Plymouths but also the Dodges! I pretty much love them all. Every time this song comes on I think 'Cops'. Great show.
Its crazy people are still reacting to this video all these years later. There is one picture thats actually from GTA IV. Lets see who can figure it out.
Absolutely you could! Some of the Cops in different areas would turn the lid over on the air cleaner & it would make the awesome noise when they kicked in the 4bbl, especially if it was a 383,400 or 440. Good Day to You!

Idk if I can take the cops seriously when they drive around in a Prius the stupidest looking thing ever invented. Environmental friendly maybe but I feel sorry for the cop driving around in the Prius.
One more thing wrong with NYC, add it to the list. They buy non-American car brands for their law enforcement. That's never supposed to happen with taxpayer dollars, regardless of where the cars might be assembled.
Some of the cars are so ugly & WHY THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE TANKS. Like in Norway they don't have weapons and in Germany the have weapons but their cars haven't gun racks or cages (same for Norway)
That's because it's New York City. One of, if not the most important cities in all of the United States. With an estimated population of 8,550,405 residents. So as a result, they need a lot of officers, vehicles, and weapons in order to maintain peace. Most cities in America, including mine, only have sedans, SUV's, and maybe the occasional van. As for the NYPD, they need many different fleets and divisions, in order to protect the city the best they can. The armored vehicles, or "tanks" as you call them, are most likely for the SWAT/Anti Terrorism units.
there's something about NYPD police cars that make them seem girly or weak. I think sleeker, darker, and updated police cruisers would reduce crime and be more intimidating at the same time.
