Re: Police Smart!

Well it must be used to catch parked cars lol, because when they chase 16 year old criminals in stolen 20 year old astras, they have trouble keeping up with them when they are in nice new Bmws & mercs etc, so a smart wont stand much chance lol. If Police Camera Action is anything to go by.
