We don't know if we should laugh or cry with this strange story that took place in South Carolina on January 18 and was captured on film by a police trooper's dashboard camera. It all started when an unnamed South Carolina police trooper stopped the Mayor of Norway, Jim Preacher, for driving 70mph in a 50mph zone in an unmarked Dodge Charger police car. Let us note that the Charger previously belonged to the town's police chief before the division was disbanded in August 2011 due to lack of funds. 
The trooped handed a four-point, $185 fine to Preacher, who wasn't pleased at all and decided to return the favor� The Mayor immediately made a U-turn and turned on his lights and sirens to stop the trooper! "Can I see your driver's license," Preacher asked the trooper. The police officer gave him his license and asked the Mayor why he stopped him. "Are you familiar with interfering with a police officer?" asked Preacher.
True, accidents can happen any time and at virtually any place, but we think the driver of the small truck seen in this video from Taiwan is unforgivably careless. How on earth can you not see the police officer with the distinctive yellow markings in broad daylight? Even though he was literally hit by a truck, the officer managed to get up by himself and trot to the sidewalk before another motorist had the chance to finish the job. And yes, that's definitely going to hurt for a while�
A rather foxy yet clearly irresponsible teenage driver of a Citroen Saxo had British police running in circles �literally- in a chase that took place at the Hams Hall industrial estate near Coleshill, England, last month during a police crackdown on what they call illegal car cruise events. 
One of the spectators who had stopped on the side of the road to enjoy the chase filmed the young man�s shenanigans and uploaded the video on Youtube for all to see. It all started when an unmarked Seat Leon hatchback pursued the driver of the silver Saxo who managed to escape by speeding up, down and even in�reverse on the busy highway.
A class-action suit has been filed against General Motors in Detroit concerning a defect in the suspension rods of more than 400,000 2007-2008MY Chevrolet Impalas that causes premature wear to the rear tires. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a woman from Pennsylvania named Donna Trusky, who wants GM to replace the defective suspension rods on 423,000 Impalas from the 2007-2008MY the company sold over a two-year period.
You know what they say: �One man�s trash is another man's treasure�. While police forces in the U.S. are rapidly replacing their Ford Crown Victoria Interceptors with the latest batch of patrol vehicles from Detroit�s Big 3 including the Ford Taurus, Chevrolet Caprice and Dodge Charger, the Blue Oval�s geriatric model is finding a new life in the UK as a quirky alternative to those who want to stand out from the crowd. 
The perpetrator in this case is a UK-based company named �USA Cop Cars Ltd�, which has recently started bringing fully refurbished 2009 and 2010 Ford P71 Police �Interceptor� law enforcement cars into Britain. The British firm describes the Crown Victoria as a rare �muscle car with a difference�. If that hasn�t put a smile to your face, maybe this will: the used Ford Police Interceptors carry a price tag between �23,000 and �29,000 or about US$37,000 and US$46,700!
General Motors has began delivering its first 2011 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) to law enforcement officers across the U.S. Among the first to receive GM�s new patrol car are police departments in Forsyth County, Georgia and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Forsyth County Sheriff Ted Paxton said that after trying out the Chevy for a month his office decided to replace its current fleet of around 175 other patrol vehicles with Caprice PPVs.
The trooped handed a four-point, $185 fine to Preacher, who wasn't pleased at all and decided to return the favor� The Mayor immediately made a U-turn and turned on his lights and sirens to stop the trooper!
