The Only Porsche 911 Police Vehicle in the US?

Hoover Police Porsche 911 by Shelby County Reporter

It pays to be a police officer in Hoover, Alabama. They're droppin' it like it's HOT in their drug bust Porsche 911.

The Porsche 911 was being used to transport over $300,000 worth of cocaine when it was seized by police two years ago. Rather than auction it off, they decided to turn it into a bad guy nabbin police cruiser.

I used to see Porsche 911 police cars in Germany when I lived there, but I've never seen one in the states. I have no idea how big Hoover is, or even where in Alabama it is, but they have to be the envy of police departments all of the country.

You might want to watch your speed in Hoover.

    So when I own my first GT3 Im driving to Hoover and looking for this guy. Then I will smile and just take off. I should probably get my one phone call ready to go. Anyone have a relative in Hoover?

    Completely unrelated to Porsche but I believe Hoover was the town MTV filmed that show about the high school football team. Two a days it was called. Driving a 911 in this town must be pretty sick though considering you're probably one of the few to own one…

    if the police force where i live gets one of these i'll almost give up speeding. i've got it down which cars they have that are unmarked and what their headlights look like at night. i think it would just be unfair to have a cop car be a porsche. if they did the revenue they got from tickets would pay for the car in the first couple of months

    No one will try to outrun that cop car. You better just slow right down if he is behind you with his lights on.

    That thing is sweet! Reminds me of the old DARE cars from when I was young. I remember the DARE cop that came to our school had a Camaro that we all thought was the cat's meow back then.
