I was walking the streets of Sydney the other night when I saw this down at the Harbour St Plice Station:



Ok, so it's a sh!t house picture but I'm sure youcan all make out that it is a Smart Roadster Police Car. Aren't cop cars supposed to be either fast (for chasing the bad guys) or roomy (for taking them back to the clink)?

That's a sh!thouse picture.

A) It was taken with my phone at night
B) I'd had too many Sapporo at a Teppanyaki restaurant so everything looked blurred.

'walking' the streets...'police station'.... somehow I am getting suspicious as to how exactly is it that you make a living ...

I knew the cops had a few fortwos on trial for admin personnel. Didn't know about the roadsters... good to see!

Hey, whatever does the trick!

How could you take a cop seriously if you got pulled over with that?
You'd just laugh and ask where the camera was hiding!

Yes I have seen that pass my work a couple of times.
The only thing funnier than seeing police markings on a smart car, is seeing two fat cops all squished up inside driving around in it.

I remember reading a while ago about some car company/dealership that had essentially donated a car to the local police station for non-patrol use, for example going down to give a talk at the local pre-school.
Maybe this smart is used for similar duties.

My dog's vet is a 6'5" ex-rugby player. One of his employees was Chris Brown (one of the vets that has been on Harry's Practice). He's similar dimensions.

Their vet car is a Daihatsu Move.
