The MN Headhunter just had a post on his site about this article.
Seems the California Highway Patrol (CHiP’s for anyone that remembers Ponch and Jon) has issues with the paint scheme on the Geek Squad’s cars, a.k.a. Geekmobiles. Story is they’re concerned that unsuspecting motorists may see the cars and mistake them for a police officer’s cruiser and wrecklessly change lanes to get out of the way, causing potentially dangerous citizen driving challenges.
Leave it to California to come up with a new problem that didn’t need to be a problem. Don’t they have enough problems of their own without making up new ones? And for anyone that may get confused and think an unmarked VW “Bug” with no-lights is a police cruiser, often a large sedan like a Crown Victoria, you probably deserve to be pulled over questioned by some of the Golden State’s finest.
