There is a guy in my department that was a Deputy Sheriff in Tennesee and he was recently telling me about a county that has placed ads on thier patrol cars. Of course we all joked that we'd want the Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts car. Seriously, has anyone else heard about this?

Perhaps I should have been more specfic. Has anyone seen a police car with advertisements on it?No man is justified in doing evil on the grounds of expediency. - Theodore Roosevelt, The Strenuous Life: Essays and Addresses (1900)

Bad idea. I can see it now. First there will be complaints about who gets to advertise, then what is advertised. Cities will take advantage of the savings by cutting the budget to the point where the departments will come to be dependant on the ad "money". Once that happens they have ya by the nuts.
Not a wise choice! Besides, last thing I want is to be driving down the road with "KOTEX" across the hood.

I looked into this for my Volle Fire Department. The County Atty did not like it, so it died.
The agency gets final say on what ads ( no ciggaretts, no alcohol), and must agree to the size, wording, and placement of the ads.
(I can think of some of my prior supervisors who needed a hemirroid ad on their cars!)"A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself."
