the camaro was probably impounded and made a police car.... or they bought it equiped with the B4C police package, in the $30,000 range brand new i would imagine. don't be fooled, they are auto LS1's with only minor modifications. unless the state decided to add thier own little flavor to it. but again, where have you been? everyone knows they have always used them.
speaking of cop cars, this weekend at the NN Wal mart i saw an old couple driving a mint ford falcon police car. (i believe it was a falcon, but i may be wrong.) had the light on top and everything. wierd.
