Dubai has world's fastest police car -- and it can go 253 mph

Well that could also be the reason why KSA was hit harder. From what I remember from people I know, the state subsidize a lot of things there, including utilities like water as well as other stuff, like college. I wonder now, is it the same throughout the Middle East? Coz if not, then that could be one reason KSA is bleeding out more cash. And maybe maintaining the monarchy as well? Or maybe UAE is not so much dependent on oil?

The KSA wastes a lot of money on lavish subsidies, but another burden is the extravagant handouts given to the royal family members. The royal family consists of almost 200,000 members, and each of them receive a fixed monthly salary ranging from $2,000 to $20 million per month.

Yikes. UK probably spend less on their royals. 200,000 is just too many! I suppose this would be a problem as years go by. Their population is basically a ticking time bomb. Plenty of young people that they'd have to absorb into the workforce. I heard government-owned employ about half of the population. They can't always count on that, especially if the government is risking running out of money. They can afford to subsidize basic needs for now but that will not last.

Sooner or later they'll have to give up their lavish lifestyle or risk the fate of French royals.

The native population is not qualified enough to gain decent employment. Also, they have got used to freebies, and most of them are not interested in doing any sort of work. There are rebel voices inside the royal family as well, and this is going to be a major concern for the current Saudi king.

No truer words has been spoken. It is better to have not been given a freedom then to have been given it and have it taken away. They now see those freebies as "rights" and it would be hard trying to get them to give them up.

In Dubai, the fastest police, and now will still be on the most expensive cars. Although the crime rate there is low. They are all very well thought out and there is a posh police car park. I myself would go to the police to fuck up on such a typewriter

The crime rate is quite low (despite 80% of the population being expat, mostly from third world nations such as India, Bangladesh and Pakistan) is due to the fact that the rule of law is quite strong. You will get severe punishment for violent offenses, and no amount of money power or connections will save you.

[mastermold]

I would think they are more of a tourist attraction than actual crime fighting vehicles. The police that drive them are very friendly and pose with tourists for photos with their cars. Also I've heard that the Ferarri FF was driven exclusively by women police officers!

Do in Dubai pretty low crime rate, but as soon as these people leave the confines of the United Arab Emirates they are on the path of crime. Liberal laws of Europe only contributes to this behavior.

I think that we can see so many expensive cars in Dubai mostly by the cause of very big count of millionaires and wealthy people living in the city.
That means police need to have fast cars to stay in track of criminals who try to run by streets with sport cars.
Im one hundred percent sure, that it is not big cost for city of Dubai to buy this kind of stuff for their police- we can see that the goverment there can spend ton of money for a good cause.
253 mph is a incredible speed, im hoping that we won't see these beautiful cars crashed

Believe me if the cops are gonna race with such speed through the streets of Dubai, the consequences will be much worse than if the offender absconds. I think that the main purpose of this car is a selfie with the cops. PR and nothing more.

It is not very surprising. In countries where the punishment is very tough, the crime rate will be the lowest. On the other hand, the crime rate is high in countries such as Sweden, where the punishment for violent offenses is lax.

This is a controversial statistics. In Sweden recorded any crime. Even if the woman thought that the man showed to her excessive interest. In Arab countries women don't go to the police even after rape because they are afraid of publicity. Maybe the reason for this?

Nowhere else in the world can you hail a police car and snap a selfie with the driver.

Nowhere else in the world is that police car likely to be a Bugatti Veyron, Ferrarri FF or Lamborghini Aventador. This is Dubai, where the police force has just been presented with a certificate by Guinness World Records for having the world's fastest police car in service -- a Bugatti Veyron -- just one of its 14-strong fleet of supercars.

A fleet of luxury supercars may sound outlandish, but it fits perfectly with the ethos of Dubai.

In a city where to turn heads your Bentley or Rolls Royce needs to be wrapped in gold, it seems normal for the police force to have a suite of supercars at its disposal.

The fleet includes a bespoke Aston Martin One-77, of which only 77 were ever built, a Bentley Continental GT, three hybrid Porsche Panameras and two BMW i8s.

I think that is just showing off, I know that there are a lot of rich people in Dubai, but for Police force to have such exotic and expensive cars is just not needed. There are a lot of fast cars and i understand if police need to catch or stay with criminal with there car. But there is another question... Is it safe for civilian and police to drive as fast as some criminal, it is bad to have one really fast car driving, do we need another one?

I don't think that higher rate of reporting alone is responsible for the abnormal stats. Recently, Nigel Farage called Sweden as the rape capital of the world. The 2012 UN international rape rate comparison showed Sweden to have the highest rate of rape in Europe and the second highest in the world (I am not talking about sexual molestation. I am talking about rape, where actual penetration occurred).

[Sang Prabu]

can't argue with that dubai is the city of luxury which is a representation of the progress of the world, I had lived in dubai and more expensive cost of living 5 times than new york.

[RJX]

Good for them! What with all the supercars zooming every which way in that fucking amusementpark for beards and pinguins.

Isn't it way easier to use a helicopter in those areas?

Twenty-one study, from 1960-ies up to our days, give a unanimous answer: men of foreign origin were more than native Swedes, and among those convicted of rape, among accused of rape. Moreover, the proportion only increases:
1960s and 1970s: 1.2 - 2.6 times more than the Swedes.
1980s: 2.1 - 4.7 times more than the Swedes.
1990: 2.1 - 8.1 times more than the Swedes.
2000s: 2.1 - 19.5 times more than the Swedes.

I read somewhere that more than 50% of the rapes in Sweden are being committed by Somalis and Afghans, despite these two groups together constituting for less than 1% of the total population. The government response was laughable. They stopped publishing the ethnic origin of the perpetrators.

it is normal that dubai has facilities such as luxurious. Nowadays Dubai is one sau richest city in the world, Burj Khalifa is one proof of how rich this city. Just for a quick car for their police force is not a problem. They can buy fast cars whatever they want. Fast car was good when used by police. Currently criminals increasingly have good skills. So the police facilities had to be upgraded to the security of the city.

Dubai is a technologically developed country and whatever new technology is introduced in the world,Dubai first adopts it.Now,they have the fastest police car to strengthen their defense force.Dubai is one of the most luxurious country of the world.

Usually Northern people are considered the lowest temperament. Such a mentality should not contribute to the large number of rapes. I think the reason for this may be only a great number of Muslims.
