In North Carolina, a Corevette was seized from a drug
dealer, as is common nowadays. Instead of it being sold
and the funds put into education budget or whatever,
the sheriff kept it as his personal patrol car!

Only in the land of true private enterprise!

Here in socialist oz they would've crushed the Corvette and destroyed
any valuable drugs that might've been presented to the court as
evidence, with private enterprise being restricted to the undercover
bribe the dealer would've paid the cops to keep on trading after
they'd knocked off his 'Vette as a lesson to his ilk!

Unless of course the judge happened to be bent as well.

Another police department in the US did this. Upon decommissioning the car
before sale at auction they found a kilo of cocaine hidden under the
dash....that had been there since the car was seized several years ago.

That could of been a $200k bonus if someone bought it at auction.
