It's got tank-tracks for squishing dissenters and a bullhorn that brodcasts propaganda.
It's called the Carbon Copy.

Cop car
you don't have to turn on the red light
don't pull me over
you don't have to meet that quota tonight
Cop car
you don't have to use that taser tonight
cruise the streets for money
you don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Cop car
You don't have to turn on the blue light
I avoid you since I knew you
I wouldn't disrespect you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't provoke your billy club
I know I never thought to ran
so put away your dash cam
told you once I won't tell you again

Is that a Krispy Kreme conveyor I see coming out of the center console?

Backing into a parking spot (Illegal in parts of california)
having your tires squeek or kick up sand on private property (Illegal in minnesota)
we should put more laws on the books too that allow us to tax, er.... fine people for doing things that this new car can catch! Every car in a 200ft radius, TICKET!

I actually got a ticket the other day for backing into a parking spot at school.
I walked over to the campus police office, told the guy that I needed help pushing a stalled car. When he came out and asked me where my car was, I pointed to the entire fleet of campus police cars backed into their spots, and then asked why I got a ticket.
I got a pretty nasty look for that one, but it did get me out of the ticket.

The funny thing is that I am a senior, and have either pulled through or backed in to parking spots for the past three and a half years, as have most other people.
As to why they they would outlaw it, I have no idea. Even despite it being illegal in many places, it is never consistently enforced, which is why most people get out of them. My guess is that in most cases, the law is still in the books only because we're too lazy to go through the process to expunge it.

Maybe it is a visibility of license plate thing, still BS either way, but at least its somewhat rational...
