Hong Kong Police Car (rare to find)

10 years 21 hours ago - 10 years 21 hours ago #375768 by Stealthy Ninja
Hong Kong police rarely take police cars out (they usually use motobikes or vans).  That makes this shot a super rare one (edited for DRAMA baby!):

Is even rarer to see.  I saw it yesterday though. :O

So long as their cops are this size, it could work out just fine -

American cops are also hard to find if you really need them. I won't elaborate except to offer advice to anyone that feels brave enough to try and photograph one in the US, don't let them see you, and look for them in Dunkin Donut parking lots.......:P

Why so serious?

Boy the police don't look like that here in the U.S.

I'm pretty sure these are actresses or models.  If they all looked like that, there'd be a lot more crime... "Oh please arrest me!"

Reality check:

Do police get bothered by you taking their photos?  I know some countries you don't want to even point your camera at police!  Mexico, many areas in South America, Cuba, and many more!

Depends, generally they don't care that much.  Then again I'm white... there's some bias towards white people here... I mean good bias... I can get away with a lot of stuff a local couldn't.

Mainland China is more like that.  In Hong Kong they have the ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) which started back in 1974.  That got rid of most of the corruption in Hong Kong (or made it a lot more difficult for them). Triads will still seek "compensation" occasionally from business (usually this is in the form of "donations" to a "lucky lion" during Chinese New Year and such).  Though officially there's little corruption in Hong Kong.

Mainland china... no such luck.
