Quoted from article>>>>

The vehicles feature video cameras to record every traffic stop, radar that can clock a vehicle while the squad car is moving and an onboard computer system that can scan a driver's license and print out a ticket.

Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry and Police Chief Ray Schultz unveiled the state-of-the-art vehicles Wednesday.

Oooohh / Ahhhh

Quoted from article>>>>

It's part of the Albuquerque Police Department's new initiative to get speed demons off the interstate during peak traffic hours.

NICE!! We have been labeled. LOL

Quoted from article>>>>

Each car cost $29,000 and were paid for through police vehicle funds.

And by those police vehicle funds they mean Revenue generated from Traffic tickets.

Quoted from article>>>>

For habitual speeders Officer Velarde has this message, "I would tell them to watch out and we're coming for them because we want the citizens of Albuquerque to be safe."

There's those 2 words being put together again Speeders & Safety. What a crock of shi+.

I'm glad they told us White unmarked chargers. I might be going to ALBQ this weekend to try out the V1 on the Highway.
