The Police Chief was granted authorization to accept a donation of a 1999 armored car.
So far, no harm done.
The problem arises when it gets used. Apparently the plan is to install surveillance equipment in the car and the park it on the street and “stake out” the area with the car.
It is almost laughable. Certainly anyone living in the area or anyone who knows about the car will be on their good behavior when in the locale of the car. So who will it catch doing dishonest deeds?
Is the money that will be used to tool up the car and get it to its locations well spent?
