Do Your Local Police Need an Armored Vehicle?

Do Your Local Police Need an Armored Vehicle?

"Of course, cost is not the only concern people should have regarding armored police vehicles.  In 2010 there were 700 SWAT team “high risk entries” that involved serving a search warrant for drugs in just one state.  As the police become more militarized we inevitability see more and more inappropriate use of SWAT raids.  Emboldened with a new armored toy, the police will surely want to find reasons to take it out of the garage.  We can expect more violence, not less."
