How to vote for Ohio State Highway Patrol cars in national best looking cruiser contest
Ohio Highway Patrol bodycam: Driving speeding at 122 mph had to pee
An Ohio Highway Patrol trooper pulls over a car speeding at 122 mph near Youngstown. The driver’s excuse? He has to pee.
You probably don’t want to see an Ohio State Highway Patrol car in your rearview mirror while you’re driving (especially if they’re pulling you over for speeding when you have to pee).
But what if it’s part of a showcase in which you can vote for the best-looking highway patrol cruiser in the county?
The American Association of State Troopers has opened their contest for Best Looking Cruiser in the U.S. Ohio is up against highway patrol and state trooper cars from the other 49 states. OSHP’s vehicle of choice is a dark gray Dodge SUV with a white accent stripe and the wheeled wing logo on the front door.
The OSHP could use your help. Arkansas, Florida and Kentucky are vying for the top spot in the poll, according to an AAST voting results post. Ohio had less than 1,900 votes as of July 17.
Is OSHP’s gray SUV better-looking than Colorado’s sleek Ford Mustang? Fancier than Florida’s Dodge Charger? Sleeker than South Dakota’s all-white Camaro. You get to back the Buckeye State if you want.
