Controversy with Vehicle use:
The RCPD, LCSO, and STPD have come under fire from all sorts of legislature with the use of their unmarked vehicles, specifically the 2024 Celestial Truckatron, 2016 Chevlon Corbeta TZ PPV, and all models of Chevlon Camion from 2000 to 2024. The main problem was, well, the officers themselves who were using them. The vehicles are notorious for being used by officers who "cuff-rush" as locals call it. Cuff-Rushing is when an LEO from any division does NOT take due process to handcuff, book, and process a criminal.
