my initial reason to buy this dvd was because my buddy told me there was a wrx in it. I hadn't seen it before that... haha.
From what I read...they don't use em anymore, and they were for the "street race prevention squad" or something... I could be wrong. Still looks cool though.
No, they don't. It was on Nasioc a while back and it turned out to be a staged photoshoot. The owner of the STi dressed it up as a Colorado state patrol "Street Racing Enforcement" or something like that. All U.S. Police vehicles are made by US Auto makers.

I dunno how many of you were around for the OFPR RallyFest in 2003, but the local PD up there (Corcoran, I believe) had a WRX police cruiser there. It was promotional of course, a WRX with the enforcement graphics and a lightbar, but it was in fact, driven by real cops.
Traffic police in Singapore use a wrx. I never ended up taking pictures but it was out of place to say the least in Singapore haha
If you were a cop that got to drive an STI as a part of "street racing prevention squad"- how would you resist the urge to race against the cars you were supposed to be pulling over? I mean you're a police officer; you can't get in trouble for going fast in your car....
Here is another one for you. If you go to google images and look up WRX cop cars there is a literal S#!+ ton.
