Over-Funded UK Police Department Buys Lexus IS-F

When an American police department gets some Homeland Security money they usually buy a tank, a bunch of rocket launchers or a jet ski. Not in the UK. Cops there buy $88,000 Lexus IS-Fs.

It's not just their taste in vehicles that impresses us. Look how they talk about their new $88,000 (£53,376) toy:

Humberside Police have taken delivery of a Lexus IS-F in order to make life more difficult than ever for those looking to travel to the region to commit crime.

I don't know about you, but I'm totally changing my plan to commit a crime in Humberside to another English county no one's heard of. My entire plan hinged on the Humberside Police force chasing me in a vehicle that took in excess of 5 seconds to reach 60 MPH. Damn.
