Wow, the police allowed their entire fleet of vehicles to be used by a private company? And taxpayers considered this ok and not blatant corruption? Capitalism

Capitalism, you scary.
- reaperducer 3y agoWait till he finds out that police departments don't build their own cars, or sew their own uniforms.
- markdown 3y agoWhat a silly comment. Those are assets purchased by the cops to enable them to provide the services they do to the public. On the other hand, we have a private for-profit company that is piggybacking off the cops vehicles in order to make profit for it's shareholders. That would never be allowed in any democratic country, but then neither would bribery/lobbying so [insert shrug emoji]
- usernew 3y agoI especially hate all those private for-profit police scanner making companies like motorola that piggyback off the cops.
- jandrese 3y agoThis seems more like a company was providing a service to the cops. I assume the police departments had to buy the lojack receivers, but after that it probably doesn't cost them anything. No different than the cops buying any product or service that helps them do their job.
