Patrol Cars - Level 0

Police in the Czech Republic turned a criminal's $275,000 Ferrari into a patrol car. The high-powered sports car is almost brand new. It had only done 1,900 km. The police used $14,000 on the car.

The police will use the Ferrari to catch joyriders and drivers in illegal road races. The police will target "aggressive" drivers. The police take many cars from criminals. They sell most of them to help victims of traffic crimes. Dubai police also drive supercars to keep their roads safer. Some of them are Lamborghinis.
