Police cars to carry logos from sponsors

[smartt]

If you saw a car in your rearview mirror with flashing lights and a McDonald's logo on the hood, would you pull over?


In these days of budget-cutting and creative financing, a Florida Panhandle town commission has voted to purchase a fleet of 15 police cruisers for only $15, but resplendent with corporate sponsors.

The mayor of Springfield, a suburb of Panama City with 9,000 residents, estimates his town will save $500,000 over the three years it takes for delivery on the new cruisers, half the Police Department's annual budget.

Why would a company want to associate itself with an organization that brings irritation to its potential customers? It's usually warranted, but seriously now, who likes getting tickets?

edit: It is a good idea nonetheless.

stickers and logo's on the police cars might make them go faster.

Here's an appropriate advertiser for the police cars:

Dunkin' Donuts

- or -

Krispy Kreme Donuts

Of course. But it's the police who are keeping the Donut shops in business.

The mayor of Springfield,

And his name is "Diamond" Joe Quimby right?

I don't see why not - I mean not all towns have huge budgets to spend on cars and equipment.
