A California police department wants to be the first agency to have a law enforcement-branded Cybertruck, according to an internal email obtained by 404 Media.
The email Sergeant Jacob Gallacher, of the Anaheim Police Department, sent in early February read “P.S. I spoke with the Chief yesterday and we still want to be the first police agency to have a Cybertruck. If anyone can make that happen, I know it is you!” Gallacher sent the email to James Hedland from UP.FIT, a company that sells modified Teslas for use by law enforcement. The email was part of a conversation about the department’s use of Teslas.
Gallacher later told 404 Media that the email was something of “a joke,” but reaffirmed the agency’s wish to obtain a Cybertruck before other agencies, even if more for “community engagement” than using it as a patrol vehicle.
“We would, but it’s not necessarily from a patrol perspective,” Gallacher said. 404 Media obtained the email through a public records request.
I still think fondly on the time I saw a burning cop car during the BLM protests. That was a good day; Grateful for the promise of more to come.
Yeah, but then the cops tracked that person down by what SHIRT they were wearing.
Amazing how good they are at solving crimes when they really apply themselves. Wouldn’t it be wild if they did that for us?
We aren’t part of the owning class, police will never care about the working class in this system.
