Why don’t all cops drive around in cars with their name and face plastered all over the side?

You’d think they would in order to strike fear in the hearts of criminals.

They should have to display cute lil nicknames beneath the driver’s side window, like fighter pilots.
Unlike fighter pilots, the nicknames should be community generated.

Am I the only one who thinks its kinda cool? I mean, within the comic lore it’s absurd that he would drive this, but from a consumer standpoint, it’s pretty cool.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I guess if it was part of some sort of DC/Hot Wheels series where all the cars were like that, but it didn’t appear to be. I mean if there was a Joker one and a Robin one and so on, maybe. But there wasn’t.

The box says “9/20” so presumably it is part of a series but all the cooler characters were already sold out.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Where are you seeing that it’s not?

I assumed it was “Harley Quinn” Jim Gordon because THAT Jim absolutely would. He’s a damn good cop.

It would be fun because that would be the car that you smash into everything and constantly shit on in your imaginary Story.
TechAdmin@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Hot Wheels has Marvel series of cars too and took picture of this “well known” one recently.

Bitchin’ ride

His right arm looks very uncomfortable.
HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 3 months ago
It’s not his.
Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 months ago
$3.99? I haven’t looked at Hot Wheels in forever. Poor kids
TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
Oh, that’s Comissioner Jim Gordon.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yes, he apparently drives around in a car with his name and face on the side.

I mean doesn’t every police commissioner have livery of themselves?
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Wouldn’t a cop want a 4-door car? Where’s Gordon going to put anyone he arrests?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Batman doesn’t need four doors, so neither does Gordon!
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
The small talk would be so awkward for the supervillain who has to sit next to him.
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
If you only have two, then the other cops have to transport them.
wjrii@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Meh, Gotham City PD probably just seized it.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 months ago
You’d think Gordon could have nabbed himself a better ride through civil asset forfeiture.

WHADDAYA MEAN?!?!?!?
The Muscle Tone is a combination muscle car and tuner, driven by a 4.0 liter supercharged V8!!!
