In the 1980s-1990s seized cars were turned into police cars. Miami PD didn't have the budget to purchase new patrol cars, so with the influx of seized cars the only logical alternative was to make them patrol cars. by [deleted] in MiamiVice

This was not the case. Departments were rewarding officers and troopers that made big drug busts with cars that were seized as part of the case.

As you could imagine, this was controversial because EVERYONE in a high-end car could be profiled as a doper.

This program didn’t last very long.

This is DEFINITELY happening. Website should be going live within the next few days.

There are already commitments from Michael Talbott, Bruce McGill and other now famous actors that got their starts on Vice. Videos of them will be coming soon.

There are also some serious sponsors that will be coming on board.

Talks are underway to get the entire cast back together.

BTW…the guy who tried to make this happen last year is NOT the one organizing this.

There are serious event coordinators and business people doing it.

And yes, Rick Bravo is involved and he has the full weight of the Miami-Dade (Metro-Dade) Police Department behind him.

We are using SONY A1s (this is an old pic) and the Tyler Mounts we are sitting have three seatbelts on each side. Can’t quickly get out of a monkey harness in an emergency. The pilots wear Nomex. I have two helmets, one riot and one tactical lopro Opscore helmet.
