I completely agree, that seems to be the theme around my area with patrol cars. Aside from the brand new cars my local PD just got and some FHP units, I don't think there is a single agency in this county that has side or intersection warning and it drives me nuts. All it takes is another $150 to have warning in a crucial area, but instead they choose to put HAWs in the reverse lights with a fully loaded Freedom. The worst thing is the SO's new K9 Tahoes have a fully loaded Freedom, a crappy unknown brand light in the fog lights, and both horizontal and vertical outer edges. You have a UFO like blinding blob of blue light from a truck with probably $4000 worth of lighting on it but you would have no idea it was an emergency vehicle if they were trying to bust an intersection and the lightbar was blocked. Makes no sense.
And don't even get me started on the local agency that thinks it's okay to have a slicktop patrol car whose only equipment is a Code 3 Supervisor, Slimlighter and a HLF/TLF. :duh:
