LAPD Chevy Caprice PPV | TRANSLOGIC

[@joshoftheforest]

You have to ride in the Caprice to really appreciate how amazing it is

[@KoalaKoala2800]

This is the 2012 Chevy Caprice outfitted with the most technologically advance law enforcement equipment known to man... (THAT NEVER HIT THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES!)

[@ishaybar-yosef415]

Bring back the Crown Vic! And Mercury.

[@RedPolarBearRanger]

This Caprice was a prototype based on the Holden Caprice from Australia. It has the front end and wheels that ended up on the productional Caprice.

[@korvusgaming4927]

The official car of "Do I smell marijuana?"

[@davochen]

Actually the number plate reader will pick up everything...it is based on the NSW Police in Australia system. The Police can place warnings on a vehicle and when the PPV number plate reader reads the plate it will come up with an alert to tell teh Police officer, this warning could relate to anything from unpaid tickets, warrants for people who might travel in or own the vehicle, firearms in the vehicle, drug runners (and so on...). They are a great tool for Police to have..

[@MrMightyZ]

I own a version of this car and I love it and I'm sure it'll be a boss cop car buy why on earth would ford stop making the Crown Vic?? They had 70% of the market nailed so they should've surely revamped the Vic, given it power and performance to match this car and kept on selling! When someone says no thank you, I don't want to keep making millions then I'm missing something??

[@i_do_not_read_replies_umad6127]

+Dave L they wanted that ecoshit v6 thats why but failed at acquiring the reputation of the legendary smallblock LS engines.

[@An_inquisitive_thinker]

World stopped making any sense a while ago.

[@JamesianDGAF]

i love these cars

[@nightwolf883]

Never seen many of these as part of the lapd, only Beverly Hills cop cars

[@jonesjames89]

Have fun when the recalls for Chevy roll in

[@rouge06]

that lisince plate reader isnt new its been used over here in the UK for about 4 years now

[@TheDopefreshsaan]

I really like that gps technology

[@TheKwb007]

i really can;t grasp the whole problem with plate readers. I hate the government wiretapping and spying on citizens, but the outrage some people display over plate readers really bewilders me. if a cop wants to check your plate, he can just type it into his computer anyways, so reading them automatically is really no different. All the plate tells them is if the car is registered, if it's stolen, or if there are any warrants out for the driver. other than that, it really does nothing.

[@WillCoResponse]

Nothing will EVER beat the crown vic!

[@Davis2920022001]

LOL, you need to get with the times my friend... living in the past isn't healthy kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIjKqmtmmKuLiqs

[@Bimmer-Fonz]

So kinda like a cavalier? Lol everybody hates on them but once u drive em they are really good cars

[@GC1008ca]

I feel like Will Smith in "Independence Day" when he started flying the alien space ship. "I have GOT to get me one of these."

[@316lawdog]

the lapd ford explorer comes out in october.

[@iwasntere]

So is the company that designed the Camaro... Both GM companies. The entire suspension, steering and chasis refinements were designed by Holden Australia.

[@insatiable2rossi]

This guy should be in Top Gear USA

[@bk5593]

@TommyChevyBugle Correct they aren't made in the USA. But the Caprice is a very good car. My local Sheriff's Office got one in August as a demo car to see if they are going to go with the Charger or the Caprice. I have ridden in the Caprice with them twice. It is very fast and agile. We got called to a fire assist and we did 65 mph up an on-ramp with a 25 mph limit. Then we got it up to 135 mph. It can go faster. It's a good car but GM needs a year or two to fix minor flaws.

[@MrVonnoobie]

No, Ed Welburn is the head of global design, Being in such a position and the type of man he is he does not interfere with the various design centers meaning that South Korea and Australia had little interaction with the US in the design phase....

[@kidcanada5]

Did chevy buy carbon motor's? That looks so much like the E7

[@modelearth]

@davochen its been in england for years mate

[@bunchabugz17]

They are, Glendale police department in California has all these advancements in their Crown Victoria's.

[@DucatiPaso750]

Also, a Crown Vic with an Eco Boost V6 and a six speed auto would have been awesome!!!

[@idontreadurreplies_umadbro7601]

+David O Rodriguez nothing beats an LS smallblock OHV v8 and thats is a proven fact. ecoboost suck and full issues. LS is a proven engine architecture for a very long time.

[@i_do_not_read_replies_umad6127]

+David O Rodriguez lol what? they have problems with those. Chevy and their smallblock LS architecture have been proven for so long. you sir are clueless as fuck. smallblock LS have been the greatest v8 engines (and v6 lv3 gen 5) ever made on the face of the earth. know ur shit before mentioning ford here fucking fanboy.

[@atx-cvpi_99]

Even one with a Coyote would be awesome.

[@MrVonnoobie]

Yes it is yet the Camaro was designed in Australia and South Korea, Whats your point again?

[@chpman2013]

@StreetArtillery the alpr is really meant for finding stolen vehicles...officers would have to do a personal check on you to find out if you have unpaid tickets

[@shawntepitts488]

that's right my king

[@mariohendriks1]

The Dutch version of the IRS uses these camera's on their cars too.

[@rouge06]

been done over here in the UK for about 4 years now if you dont have anything to hide they wont bother you here in the UK

[@MrVonnoobie]

umm, What about the Camaro? Seeing as that is actually an Aussie designed vehicle. Matter of fact several vehicles out now and up coming ones over the next decade are being heavily designed in Australia. Also Australia has far stricter building requirements then many other countries in various industries making Aussie car's very safe.

[@MUFCchamps7]

@davochen had them in england for years

[@Bimmer-Fonz]

i guess so.. but come on that 4.6l v8 is a beast in the vic :)

[@kidcanada5]

No they don't, at least here in Canada it's deleted immediately

[@DucatiPaso750]

Other people have already mentioned it, but these cars are Australian. I think it is a shame that a U.S. police car is not built in the U.S. Maybe they should buy BMWs.

[@andreg.2154]

personally intercepter is where its at

[@shamrock32]

Right, but these cars are being built in Australia.....

[@mrfiux]

I thought that California was in an overspending binge... We now know why.

[@MrVonnoobie]

Considering GM them selves have stated that the 5th gen Camaro was designed in Australia your argument is hopeless... Yes Ed did over see the project but that does not mean he was the one sitting down at the drawing board designing it.. My argument is further backed up by the fact that the Camaro sits on the Australian Zeta platform... if it was done in America solely they would have used only American..

[@MrVonnoobie]

Guess I win the debate =) beyond me to how you think that the 5th Gen Camaro was designed by a single guy in a management position who him self has made steps to remove excessive oversight in the design phase from those up top....

[@dunhillsupramk3]

@StreetArtillery well you could always rob a bank to pay your tickets

[@Ayaki6166]

LAPD Chevy Caprice is retire now ? I never looking the LAPD Chevy Caprice.

[@firasalqahtani940]

dude we got the same car since 2007 i guess, here in saudi. 6.0 lq9 i think . pretty nice car ... not a police car tho

[@StreetArtillery]

@dunhillsupramk3 Here in L.A. you can´t drive with out plates.

[@NZQ01]

I have driven the caprice, man the 6.0 will beat a HEMI!!!

[@Bimmer-Fonz]

I still think the vics are better :(

[@dbuschhorn]

A cop without a mustache? I call bullshit :)

[@rickhuck64]

LAPD don't have these Caprice's. I see Beverly Hills, Culver City and Inglewood PD'S have them. I talked to an officer who driven them, he said they are fast but, gas guzzlers.

[@lastchance7463]

Add Los Angeles airport Police to the list of Chevrolet Caprice Police interceptors. I spoke to an LAX officer, and he loved the vehicle. According to him, all vehicles in their fleet are equipped with the V8, L77 package, and officers are very impressed with the GM Performance package.

[@dfw_fpis7655]

It's not a "Chevrolet Caprice Police Interceptor". The 'Interceptor' name is only used by Ford for their police vehicles.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

@StreetArtillery just drive around without your plates

[@ak_sprite]

This was an FBI car before.

[@mgg8605-]

LAPD didn't buy any Caprices. They tested them but didn't buy it. They brought 100 Chargers, 50 Explorers, and 38 Tarsus'.

[@dfw_fpis7655]

*bought

[@mgg8605-]

+Slimjimtheman98 whatever

[@dfw_fpis7655]

Michael G Just trying to make you look less incompetent. You could at least edit your original comment and fix the error.

[@Pray4Mojo1]

I'm canadian and I'd be proud to drive an australian built car. Better than ford, and certainly beter than any korean made garbage.

[@chechnya]

Read 32 million plates.. but how effective? From what I've experienced, they are kind of a waste.

[@alannewman1]

its an aussie holden commodore

[@rabbit73au]

No it isn’t the commodore is a shorter wheelbase we can actually buy Caprices here in Australia wit a lot more options than these like DVD screens in the back and also a factory sunroof and other options

[@Chowbizful]

crown victoria is good but begins to be old D:

[@TheKwb007]

Not according to the Michigan State Police

[@Officialsearch21]

lol Police state coming soon.

[@MrVonnoobie]

Yea they have and if you haven't committed any crimes then nothing will pop up on you for them to pull you over for (unless at the time you are breaking the law), And that argument is mute by the simple fact that they currently can search up and number plate as it is today all this device does is takes away a lot of the wasted time thus increasing efficiency thus better use of your taxes.. So if you rather your taxes continue to be used poorly then keep on whinging.

[@armoredknight8718]

Was that the only reporter available to give this report?...Could you have at least had him comb his hair?

[@MrVonnoobie]

So the Holden Commodore was designed in America? What was that based off of? You sir have little facts and seem to think because the parent companies are in the US that every car that is designed and built around the world must be that of a US design.. That is just completely bogus.. Yes Detroit designed there version of a camaro, and Holden designed one as well, The Holden design was chosen as the winner and the Detroit design was thrown away =)

[@StreetArtillery]

Holy shit! they have an automatic license plate reader. FUCK!! FUCK!! I owe lots of tickets and have an arrest warrant FUCK what to do what to do....shit imma have to pay them fucking tickets.

[@PATjA15]

@TommyChevyBugle its made in australia, so its better. an american made one wouldve been absolute crap.

[@StreetArtillery]

@dunhillsupramk3 No, if I get caught robbing a bank, I will go to jail for a long time. Besides i´ve never shot a weapon in my life.

[@hemihemi1418]

i hope police cars stay chevy impala or ford taurus. because this chevy Caprice is To fast and to strong especially the V8 :(. if they gonna use this chevy Caprice there is NOWAY to ESCAPE T_T

[@yohan1996]

If New Orleans police had these cars I hate how they got the ugly ford Taurus

[@jahmalonbethel1307]

K Nola LOL 😃

[@Kingston1661]

K Nola They most deff need this in the inner cities cause the Tauruses are to big and slow. My department only uses Vic's and Chargers and that's good enough lol!

[@jahmalonbethel1307]

Kingston1661 what about impala and camero

[@yohan1996]

Jahmalon Bethel Well NOPD do have Chevy Impala like the 2003 model for undercover cops and they have the 2007 model for the transit

[@yohan1996]

Kingston1661 Ikr NOPD drive now Ford Explorer and Crown Vic's but the undercover drive them new ugly Ford Taurus

[@TheWarrior1256]

Good God it's ugly

[@rko619wrestlingfan]

garbage this shouldn't even be titled under Caprice i use to love those cars but this isn't one it's just a Aus. Holden. Big four door, rear wheel drive, V8 North American made with a column mounted shifter is what the REAL Caprice are. Chevy dropped the ball once again.
