Enlightened Teen Jailed After Bragging About Drink Driving and Crashing on Facebook

Given that most young people were born into the world of internet these days, you would think that they would be far more careful with what they post online, be that on social media accounts, forums or on YouTube.

Kiwi Takes a Whiz from Inside his Minivan While Passing…a Patrol Car [NSFW]

While not as near as disgraceful or embarrassing as drunken Twilight star Bronson Pelletier who was filmed [NSFW link]…relieving himself on the floor of the LAX airport just the other day, being that anything you place on the internet is there to stay for good, this young man from New Zealand will be forever known as the guy who air-peed on a patrol car.

Unlike Pelletier, though, the young man featured here doesn’t really look intoxicated, instead he simply had to go, and with the recommendations of his pals, he decided to crank open the window of their minivan, which at that point, was rolling on the highway, and…turn on his natural sprinkler.

What TBS did on a street just outside of Paris is fly a remote controlled quadrotor, also called a quadrotor helicopter or quadcopter, equipped with a live-feed recording device.

We could be wrong, but from what we can tell, the truck looks like it drove over the cop's foot before it continued on its way.

Mexican Presidential Guard Motorcyclist Overlooks Speed Bump and Goes Flying Into the Air

Seems we spoke a few days too soon when we said that Laurent Cochet, a.k.a. Lolo, a French journalist with the Moto Journal magazine, made the biggest motorcycle fail of the year when he hit a metal post with his Yamaha FJR 1300 and fell face first into a boat.

We now have a new and much stronger candidate for that award, and he comes to us from Mexico. An unnamed police motorcyclist was travelling in front a presidential motorcade in Mexico City when he overlooked the speed bump on the road. Huge mistake…

You've Been Donked: Watch Florida Cops Surround this Pink Chrysler 300

Some people lower their cars and dress them up in absurd aero parts to mimic the feel and look of racecars, while others prefer to leave their rides just the way their makers envisioned them, and then there are those who just can't live without a hefty dose of bling, ridiculous sound systems and huge spinners. To each his own, we guess.

Those owners who take the extra step or two it when it comes to customizing their rides, undeniably do it to draw attention upon themselves, though, sometimes, the attention may come from the wrong people.

Badass FPV Falcon GT RSPEC with Supercharged V8 is Australia's Most Powerful Highway Patrol Car

Aussie cops have a knack for hunting down anything on the road that rolls on four-wheels and is load, fast and…furious, but we have a hunch they would prefer to do so while driving the same kind of automobiles themselves…

One of the cars they would love to get their hands on is a bespoke FPV GT RSPEC in police trim, billed as "the most powerful highway patrol car to hit Australian roads". It is the 150th built GT RSPEC and appropriately, it commemorates the NSW Police 150th anniversary.

New Dodge Dart Dresses Up as a Cop Car to Escort Food Drive Procession

Mercedes' LA Show SUV Concept Comes to Life; Says it Previews the Future for the G-Class

For this year's LA Auto Show Design Challenge, the organizers of the event asked automakers to dream up a patrol vehicle for the year 2025. Mercedes-Benz's North American arm and its Advanced Design Center California worked their magic and came up with the Ener-G-Force concept for an off-road patrol car.

Not content with the design drawings, Mercedes-Benz brought the Ener-G-Force study to life with a 1:1-scale model, albeit in civilian attire, with plans to present it to the public at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show from the end of the month.

The German carmaker makes no effort to hide the fact that the concept could preview a future design direction for its classic G-Class that has been in production since 1979, having been refined over the years.

"The Ener-G-Force is the vision of an off-roader that, while reflecting tomorrow’s adventures, also invokes the genes of the Mercedes-Benz off-road icon, the G model," explained Gorden Wagener, Director of Design at Mercedes-Benz Cars. "Modern and cool, it could also be a clue about a new beginning for the off-road design idiom of Mercedes-Benz."

Incredible High-Speed Police Pursuit of a Motorcyclist through Prague

You may as well dim the lights, grab some popcorn and sit comfortably because the video footage that follows has all the ingredients and thrills of a true Hollywood blockbuster. Only difference is that, what you are about to see, actually happened in real life.

Our only gripe is the somewhat poor video quality, but then again, that's probably to be expected from a camera positioned on the dashboard of a police car.

So what exactly are we looking at here? To make a long story short, a Czech police car (a Skoda Octavia 1.8-liter TSI, according to a poster on YouTube) patrolling the roads of the country's capital city of Prague, spotted a motorcyclist without a license plate entering a Bus/Taxi only lane and signaled him to stop.

Automakers Envision Highway Patrol Vehicles of 2025 for LA Show Design Challenge

Have you pondered what the world will be like in, let’s say, 2025? Predicting the future is nigh impossible but one thing’s for sure: law enforcement agencies are still going to be around in one form or another.

If things turn sour, by 2025 we might very well have a Judge Dredd-like scenario with a police state trying to maintain the law in urban jungles. If, on the other hand, all those wishes for world peace eventually come true, police officers will have a much more relaxing job.

Oh Russia…Lada Samara Cop Car vs. Deputy Minister's BMW 7-Series

If you see a police car approaching you on the road with its lights and sirens on, you slow down and move to the side and let it pass through, correct?

Well, that's the right thing to do if you're an ordinary citizen, but some individuals in Russia, like drivers of high-ranking government officials, think that they're above the law, the police and everybody else, for that matter.

Twitter Fail: Dodge Thinks this BMW 3-Series Cop Car is a Challenger

The Chrysler Group just can't seem to get its twits tweets right. Some 18 months after an employee of an associated company that handled the firm's Twitter account wrote a posting with the "F" word that eventually got him fired, we have another episode, one that caused new embarrassment for the automaker.

Earlier today, the person responsible for the Dodge brand's social media account posted a tweet that read: "Not even a #DodgeFan outlaw can out run this Challenger cop car.on.fb.me/RWzh0B twitter.com/Dodge/status/2"
