Lots of Jap Police Cars seem to have that plexiglass..

I'd guess it is a stone deflector?

Putting a prisoner in the back seat would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

Having to stare at the back of their heads with those "Space *****" inspired safety helmets is Cruel and Highly Unusual !

you can tell they arent too concerned with going fast between the 6 " chunk of plastic on the hood and the 18" siren/light assembly. Geez they couldnt make some sleeker flashing lights for it??

The wheels look to be about 17's

Japanese cops can afford to have their police cars blow an apex seal every 60k?

You're talking about the plexiglass being aerodynamic??! What about the HUGE lights and speaker attached to the roof?

They have GT-R and STi police cars as well... Anyway, the FD police car is probably pretty old and not in use much.

couldnt they use an l.e.d light bar like we do here in the usa

DCrosby

I'd think they would but these pictures weren't taken Yesterday, these are a couple years old, like when the FD was first new 92-98 Since they Don't have the 99 spec stuff on them either
