An interesting read. (Includes photos)

So, trawling through the internet of a day I came across this little site that gives a brief, yet fairly in depth history of Motorway Policing and it's vehicles in the UK. (Read, highway patrol)

It has some pretty awesome looking vehicles and blinkies in them, and is genuinely quite interesting, at least in my view.

I figured a lot of you cross-the-pond types would get a kick out of it anyway.

I see motorway cops on BBC2 on youtube all the time love the show...It freaks me out seeing these guys doing search warrant raids on homes just bum rushing the door running inside with just sticks and arresting people no fear what so ever of a guy on the other side possibly armed with a legal fire arm like a shotgun or a 22 rifle. You brits have a lot of restraint also when dealing with the public lol.
