AutoExec Summary
A Michigan County Sheriff has a new patrol car, a 1981 Chevrolet Camaro purchased with seized money from drug cartels. Sheriff William Federspiel unveiled the vintage Camaro with period-correct police livery and signage, bought at auction for US$29,000. The car will be used for regular police duties, with detained individuals placed in the front due to limited backseat access. The early reveal of the Camaro was to dispel claims of taxpayer money misuse. Sheriff Federspiel sees the car as a way to engage with the public. The Camaro’s limited power makes it unsuitable for pursuits.
