10 Insane Law Enforcement Vehicles

From the most amazing SWAT van, to the water cannon vehicles they deploy, these are 10 Insane Law Enforcement Vehicles Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv 5. Doraville Police Vehicle If cities who have more police shooting and drug problems might have a good reason to obtain military grade vehicles, why would the small town of Doraville, Georgia obtain this massive beast!? This thing is completely capable of plowing through walls and running over cars with ease. This little suburb of Atlanta, didn’t have 1 murder from 2010 to 2013 and population of roughly 8,000 people. The chief of police claimed,”the vehicle had been a valuable tool for public safety. A video of the swat team was posted online in 2009, showing the vehicles sheer force. This appears to be an M-113 armored vehicle which have been used as far back as the Vietnam, although their website doesn’t appear to be too specific about what kind of vehicle it is or if they still have it. During the Obama administration, he attempted to ban tracked vehicles for police but most mrap’s, we saw in number 6 don’t have tracks. 4. The Rook So what vehicle do the police use as their about to conduct a siege on a two story building! That’s right! They call in the rook! This vehicle is described by it’s manufacturers as being “six tons of pure responsive force! For 250,000 dollars, the rook can bring in 4 swat team members close enough to someone's 2nd story window, with the security of steel armor. The extendable platform can reach up to 11 feet and they mostly use this in case of a big stand off with police where they believe the suspect is armed. It’s almost like a bulldozer that’s used to shield the swat team. If it wanted too were sure, it could flip over cars or destroy your house as well. It has a few special features such as cameras, gun ports, dual joystick controls and air conditionting. 3. Water Cannon Vehicles Riots have been getting out of control lately, so law enforcement figures that maybe if they hose them down a little bit, they’ll get mad their dripping wet and go home. Recently, in the city of Calais, France police have had to bust out the water cannons when violent clashes with migrants and activists broke out. The water cannons are pretty high powered but don’t seem quite as bad as getting pepper sprayed. These are basically like fire trucks that the police use for riots.Other types have been made like that would add electricity to the stream of water, and potentially taser the entire group! In south Korea, some agencies added pink dye in the mix to help aid them in mark the rioters, making it easier to make arrests. This one here from Germany costs about 1 million dollars each and the German government ordered 78 of them! Each one is made of steel and weighs 33 tons! It’s capable of firing 20 liters of water per second! What do they plan on using all of these vehicles for? 2. UH-1 Helicopter With the surplus of military vehicles, it makes more sense for those to get some use by the police right? They seem to be able to get away with it by labeling them as donations, and here you see a case where a military grade helicopter conducting a search and rescue operation that was donated to the Milford Connecticut police in 2011, along with some M-16 and MRAP’s. This former army helicopter was given a new paintjob. This helicopter is worth about a million dollars. It’s now equipped with a spotlight for catching bad guys at night. This was “donated” to a city with 52,000 people and a crime rate 68 percent lower than the rest of Connecticut. Police claim that criminals have changed and they need this kind of step to stay one step ahead of the game. Police Drones Don’t you feel safer with police drones flying around the sky?! The next time you think about committing some criminal behavior in your backyard, you better think twice! Thanks to advancements in drone technology, police can have more eyes in the sky than ever before, This has rose to popularity in Britain, especially in London and along the English Channel. Residents apparently got fed up and there were over 900 complaints over the phone in the year of 2015. Similar to undercover vehicles, the drones are rarely marked and there’s really no way of knowing if it’s the cops or not. As of right now, there are some laws on where people are able to fly drones and this may restrict cops from catching on to the idea. With advanced cameras, night and thermal vision.
