Police ride along
Going on a ride-along in two months with Michigan State Police, then doing my pre-hire ride-along with Frankenmuth MI PD a few months after that. I can't wait.

COPS say "Do me a favor..."
It doesn't have to even be anything that could be said forcefully. I had a bad smell of smoke/natural gas in my house on Tuesday, so I called 911 and PD showed up on scene first. He parked at the end of my driveway and came up to talk to us, and as we were talking, and it was freaking cold outside, and I had left my jacket inside as we evacuated, and he goes "Hey, do me a favor, tell me where your coat is so I can have FD get it when they get here" and then one of the firefighters got my coat for me. Wasn't forceful, mainly polite.

ELS lights reflection
Sorry if this is thread hi-jacking, but it's a question that I think could be answered here without the need for a new topic. How do I change the reflection to red and blue? I don't have a single car that's red and white, but all my reflections are red and white, instead of red and blue.

Pursuits shootouts and WTF moments
My question is, how did he get the reflecting light to be blue? My reflection on the streets and buildings are still red and white, like I was using a default car.

Approaching with gun drawn
So, this is something I've noticed, and even though I don't think it's anything that's designed by LCPDFR devs or R*, it's interesting enough for me to bring it up. When I execute a traffic stop, sometimes I approach with a gun in my hand, just without thinking about it. When I do so, 9 times out of 10, the person takes off as soon as I step into the circle. When I don't have a gun, they take off maybe 3 times out of 10 throughout the course of the entire stop. It might just be coincidence, but it intrigued me, and I wondered if anyone else has noticed anything similar.

Your city's police cars
Sharp is correct. The Unity RV-26 and RV-26 LED are just one part of the Blue Goose's (the name for the Michigan State Police patrol cars) rich tradition that the MSP is dedicated to keeping. The current style and layout of the MSP vehicles hasn't changed since the 70s, with the exception of updating the gumballs to LED, and adding deck and dash lighting onto the cars.

Taurus vs Charger vs Caprice vs E7 vs Tahoe
I left out the Impala because, as far as I know, it's not being offered in a police package. I know some departments have adapted them anyway, such as the University of Michigan public safety department, but I don't think it's modified in any way beyond just the equipment, I.E., it has the same acceleration and top speed as the civilian versions. And I included the Tahoe in an effort to include all police models from this model year. And the fact that they are extremely popular. My local department has about 4 CVPIs, the rest of their fleet of about 20 vehicles are Tahoes. Flint, MI, PD, which deals with the highest murder rate per capita, and the highest violent crime rate per capita, recently purchased 14 new Tahoes, and they have completely phased out their entire sedan fleet, leaving all vehicles to be new or old Tahoes. Most departments in my area have started, or completed, phasing out their sedan fleets. This might just be where I live though. *EDIT* After your Edit It looks like the Caprice and Taurus are pretty evenly matched, and are pretty evenly matched vehicles, except in the obvious category of acceleration, even though the Caprice hit the top speed, faster than the Charger, which is surprising to me. The Charger seems like it is the most balanced vehicle overall. But, unfortunately, the Chargers are not practical for most departments, where they're going to be traveling down rural and suburban roads, instead of highways. So they'll have to pick between the Caprice or the Taurus, and I see them picking the Taurus more often, simply because of Ford's history with the CVPI, and the fact that the Caprice is Australian made (No offense to Australians, but if they need a part, they can't afford to have one of their cars out of service for a week while they wait for a specific part to come in. With the Taurus, it's just a simple call to the vast Ford SPO organization and they've got the part they need in a day)

Taurus vs Charger vs Caprice vs E7 vs Tahoe
Are we talking about the Cruze's, or the Caprices? Because the 2012 Chevy version of the Cruze has some serious get up and go, and I've gotten it to about 120 on the highway. It's not too shabby.

Taurus vs Charger vs Caprice vs E7 vs Tahoe
I've got a 2012 Cruze, had it since October, it's such a smooth car, gets great gas mileage, handles like a dream....It's probably the best thing Chevy is offering right now in terms of mid-size sedans.. Especially when posed against the POS Sonic/Aveo Re-hash. Obviously the best they've got is the Impala, but they're not offering that in a police package, for some reason that continues to bewilder me. Overall though, I think Ford has shown their knowledge of police needs, coming from many many years of making the CVPIs, and managed to design a vehicle that is pretty much tailored to the needs of police, just like the CVPIs were. A lot of officers I know were disappointed that Ford dropped the CVPI, considering it was pretty much the standard for so many years. But one of my local State Troopers, who is on the Michigan State Police Vehicle Test Team (one of only two such police vehicle testing programs in the US, the other being the LAPD), said that after he got to drive the Taurus PI, he thinks that Ford did an exceptionally good thing re-focusing their efforts on something new instead of just updating the CVPIs every year. That's why I put the Taurus PI on the top of my list.

Taurus vs Charger vs Caprice vs E7 vs Tahoe
You rank the E7 above the Caprice? I knew the Caprice was hated, but I didn't think anyone hated it THAT much. lol Nicolai, I agree Carbon looks terrible. I like the idea of a car being developed from the ground-up for police work, but that car...there's something about that car that makes me want to speed, just to dare it to catch me. Honestly, what Chevy needs to do is make a Cruze PPV. It would be a million times better than the Caprice.

Taurus vs Charger vs Caprice vs E7 vs Tahoe
2012 Ford Taurus Police Interceptor 2012 Dodge Charger Police Pursuit Edition 2012 Chevrolet Caprice PPV (Police Patrol Vehicle) Carbon Motors E7 Concept 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe SSV (Special Service Vehicle) What is your favorite, what is your least favorite, which one would you be most afraid to see in your rearview mirror, and which one do you think is the best one (Not to be confused with your favorite). My favorite is honestly the Taurus. I hope it takes off. My least favorite is the Caprice. It just seems like GM is trying to throw their hat into the ring even further for police vehicles when they've already got a great line with the Tahoe SSVs. I'd be most afraid to see the Charger, obviously. And the best, has to be the Tahoe. It's the most versatile, has the most gear carrying capability, and is just the most solid of all the lines of police vehicles. Also, sorry for the US-Centric post, but I don't know about police vehicles outside of the US/NA.

You are using my favorite line of vehicles ever. I've got an entire folder dedicated to the LCSD models made by Bugs, where I've got all 5 cop cars filled. They're awesome, and a ton of fun to play with.

Correcting API key
[NETWORK] APIKey = {"error":true,"results":[{"message":"System offline (#CS-9)"}],"errorCode":9,"errorText":"System offline (#CS-9)","message":"System offline (#CS-9)"} Does anyone know how to correct this without re-installing LCPDFR from scratch? I did put my LCPDFR forum into in when I installed, but it didn't work. It stops my stats from being uploaded, and it stops my name from being displayed when going into the MDC in game. I hope I can correct it without having to re-install it.
