Sheriff's car - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

The Kern County, California, Sheriff's Department orders plain white
patrol units and has the graphics applied locally. In this case, what
they ordered was not quite what they got.

This car was driven for 1 week before an officer noticed what the graphics company employee did on the passenger side of the car. The employee did this on his last day working for the graphics company before he retired.

Priceless!! that graphics designer has a good sense of humor, I can't belive they drove around in it for a week before noticing... hahaha!! Awesome!

cinnles · 07-09-2005, 08:03 PM

hahah, that's great.

feelgood · 07-09-2005, 08:54 PM

I find it hard to believe that none of the officers spotted it until a week later

I don't know, maybe they're used to the general public pointing and laughing at them.

well they did say it was on the passenger's side.. so, that might've affected it.

Chuckles · 07-10-2005, 09:23 AM

hahahaha man i wonder how they responded. Serves em right!

Snopes has a different version of this story. Apparently the real graphic (yes, the picturte is doctored) was applied by one of the officers in the department.

That is a great one.

Maybe it's the forums I'm used to being in... but I would have thought anyone could recognize the Photoshop. Still funny, though.

Johnny Pyro · 07-18-2005, 02:42 PM

That is funny and true!

SirLance · 07-18-2005, 03:37 PM

Funny: the pic (photochopped and all)
Funnier: if someone really did a Kern Co. police car that way...
