GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum - EVERY Polce car in Montgomery, Preble, Darke, and Green Counties, Ohio...

...has handles in the back seat. I have seen every department's crusiers in AT LEAST these 4 counties, and know FOR A FACT that EVERY patrol car HAS handles in the back seat (see below for rare exceptions).

I am not going to argue all day/night about it here on a message board. I have put cameras in at least one car in more than a few of these jurisdictions over the last few years, so I know first hand they ALL have handles. The rod in the door is removed, that's why you cannot open the door from the inside. Before I quit my Department last year, I had PERSONALLY oversaw the ordering of 3 cruisers directly from Ford, and ALL of them also had handles in the back seats. It is not an option when you order a new car from Ford to have the handles removed, it is something that a mechanic does at the request of the department or a suspect pulls them off trying to get out. In 10 years on the street I have NEVER seen a car in Ohio that does not have handles in the back seat. In your area they may have them removed, but not here in this part of Ohio. If this is a new practice, then it has come out in the last year.

Also note that MOST of the above mentioned jurisdictions order on what's called a "fleet" plan, and it is STATE controlled. This means the State of Ohio does the specing and bidding for police cruisers in Ohio, and handle options in the back seat are nowhere on the specs sheets.

Also, the absence of a light bar on a car is not an indication it is not really a police patrol car. In Ohio we have more than our fair share of "slick-tops". This is a cruiser with NO LIGHTBAR. There is a small light embedded in the roof, usually a red or blue strobe, and it is hard to see unless it is flashing. The other emergency lights are in the grill, deck lid, corner lights, and sometimes the windshield. These car are usually used for traffic control (speeding). This also explains why a cruiser would not have a cage. The officer assigned the car has one purpose, and it is not to arrest people, it's traffic enforcement. If someone is arrested they call a regular caged car or a paddy wagon.

Again, I am not going to get in a flame war or argument here. I know the above to be fact, because I have been there done that in an official capacity. Some or most of you are good at the adult biz, and I would never consider telling you how you make money using what you have or saying this and that without proof or facts. I am telling you facts from the horses mouth.

I can and will at some point show to a select few people here that the cruiser in question is indeed a police crusier. I will do it when I get around to it and no sooner, it is not the most important thing on my plate right now.

Bottom line is this. Over half of the replys and comments in that thread calling bullshit are, well, bullshit. It's a real cruiser, a real cop, real handcuffs, etc. The pictures were taken for the MissGFY contest, not for legal, ethical, moral, or any other kind of debates.

I've spent way too much time on this. Flame away.
