From: Nomen Nescio on 29 Jul 2010 00:07 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!

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. -- John H

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. Fraser
