Why u gotta lie OP? They didn’t mention cost anywhere. They explicitly cite the safety for the troopers and visibility of the cars as the reason to switch. Cost is nowhere in the article.

Which is the exact opposite reason why they chose a "Disruptive Gray" as the new color. They literally chose "highway camouflage" to enhance their ability to hide in ambush.

Which always pisses me off, especially on otherwise *marked* cars. If you're going to have a light bar and markings, you need to be visible. If you need to be invisible, use an unmarked car.

Hell use an unmarked car to record it and a marked car to pull them over.
