A Video Tour of the 2012 Chevrolet Caprice PPV with the Detective Package


The first batch of GM's Australian-built 2012 Chevrolet Caprice PPV [Police Patrol Vehicle] cruisers hit the streets across the States earlier this year with more to arrive in the following months.

Despite the fact that the police car launch has sparked some interest for a civilian version as well, the Detroit maker has not such plans on the table – at least not for now.

Today, we stumbled upon a detailed -if not a bit tiring and lengthy- video walkaround of the 2012 Caprice from a Youtube user who goes by the name "Saabkyle04". The unmarked police cruisers with the detective package were located at a GM dealership in Charlotte, North Carolina.

If you're in Boston, you'd Better Lock Up your Car or the Police will do it for you…


Truth is, if you leave your car unlocked then you’re looking for trouble, as you’re making it an easy target for thieves to steal or, at least, walk away with any valuable items left inside.

In North Shore, Boston, one in every five cars checked by the police over the weekend had either unlocked doors or an open window. So the local boys in blue decided to take proactive measures: they look for unlocked cars, and/or vehicle with items that may attract attention like GPS systems, wallets, bags etc. left inside.

Video: Le Gendarme de Paris…


When Sergeant Ludovic Cruchot (played by the great Louis de Funès) and the rest of the protagonists of the Le gendarme film series terrorized the French roads with their crazy antics and car chases, it was extremely fun to watch.

But something tells us that the pedestrians seen in this clip, which was shot in a crowded district of Paris, France, were far less than amused with the police man behind the steering wheel of this Peugeot 308 307. Follow the jump to see why.

Payback Time: Middle East Honda Accord Drifter Crashes, Police Steps in…


Who needs to sit and watch any of the five installments of the Fast and Furious franchise when you can enjoy all the excitement in a minute-or so-long Youtube clip?

While there's nothing new about videos showing Middle-Eastern drivers drifting or trying to drift Japanese sedans with or without shooting their guns, nor about some of them crashing their cars, what is new about the clip you're about to watch after the break is that the police got involved.

And we're not talking about a single police car but a swarm of cops who appear to be chasing the driver and/or the passengers of the white Honda Accord sedan that had previously smacked a rock on the side of the road while drifting.

Video: Toyota Supra Drifter Outwitted by Cop on Roundabout


A jazzy driver in a fourth-generation Toyota Supra was filmed trying to have some drifting fun on a roundabout at the expense of the police. After the patrol car tried to follow the Supra on the roundabout the cop outsmarted the driver by turning off his emergency lights and placing the car in the middle of the road.

Given that the police car appears to be a VAZ-2110 (otherwise known as the Lada 110), we presume that the scene took place in Russia or a nearby country. Video follows below.
