For everyone wondering wth is going on there: It was a solidarity parade by some kind of German private police car club. The reason for this specific parade was to raise the awareness of emergency services doing their work and more appreciation for their service. There also was a fundraiser for a children's hospital I think. And to get to the core of why there are so many random US Police cars in germany: because there are a lot of people who care about American culture and love the way these cars look and sound. It could be described as a hobby for a few people here. Just like a lot of Americans are obsessed with the myth of the German Autobahn culture for example 🤷🏼♂️ something is different and you can't normally have it, so you want to have it. That is this. 😂
@@pizzasubs I bet they all came by ship and not all at once. These vehicles weren't just shipped here for this event, they are most likely all privately owned cars by random dudes who enjoy driving an American emergency vehicle. 😊
@@EstonianRescueServices you can't normally drive them like this on public roads, they had a special permit and were escorted by the real police. In normal circumstances you have to cover up the light bars and can't use the sirenes. The "police" decals are no problem as long as they don't say "Polizei" (german word for police). And cars like the Ford Crown Vic for example that were never sold here need an individual approval and some modifications like a fog tail light and most times yellow rear turn signals. Since there are already some here there are standards already established.
Crazy Hobbies or ours lol! I live in the US and am trying to build a police impala sedan while keeping things legal. I live in the us after all where you can't get away with things like that.
Seeing so many crown vics brings tears to the eye, I miss seeing those daily over here in PA, US. That Caprice or Impala at 1:38 is also a neat catch. Same with the one at 3:45. Neat CHP Mustang at 2:00 aswell
derjoghurtmitderecke Die Bitte war nicht nur an Sie :) Kommentare unter bestimmten Niveau sollte man einfach ignorieren. Man spart sich Nerven und Zeit. Am liebsten wenn wir uns alle nur mit schönen Dingen auf der Welt beschäftigen, unschönen gibt‘s genug, die brauchen wir nicht :)
Hi. So let's face it, some of the comments here make me sick. Here are a few facts. It wasn't a parade, but a protest against violence against EMS members, which seems to be becoming a sport here in Germany. Many of the cars you see here are real emergency vehicles. And many of the owners put all their heart and soul into maintaining these vehicles, despite all the difficulties. From where I know this? Well, my car is the white 1994 Chevrolet Caprice from the Fortuna Police Department, which you can see in the video. With 8 years of service behind it. And over 400,000 kilometers on the meter.
@@paigeherrin29 do you think i don't know that? The Odometer in that Car is digital. You can switch between miles and kilometers. So why are you laughing?
The only thing I'm surprised I did not see is a restored US Army Military Police or USAF Security Police unit. Especially one from the days when they were still Dark Olive Green (US Army) or Strata Blue? (USAF) Those were very common sights in & around the regions where we had a lot of bases.....including West Berlin! (Who also were unusual in that 'they' used mostly the Ford Taunus instead of the usual US Built Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Plymouth/AMC sedans in common use up to the early '80s in the rest of (then) West Germany?)
I would've showed up with a Texas Highway Patrol Camaro Z28, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Crown Victoria, or a Michigan State Police Tahoe complete with the gumball machine light and the sign on the hood.
haha that was so funny. i was in my room and was extremly confused. this shit sounds like american firetrucks that cannot be. but then they drove by with horns blaring. Best day of my live lol
