You’ve probably seen a police cruiser or two barrel down the road without an apparent suspect in sight and wondered, who, exactly, you could call to complain. To improve public safety, and hopefully introduce more accountability into the system, Ford will beginning tracking cruisers with the Los Angeles Police Department. If an officer is driving recklessly, their supervisors will know about it in real time.

Everyone’s seen a cop driving like a jerk: Double parking and blocking traffic. Cruising down the highway way beyond the speed limit, with no suspect to run down. Blatantly texting while driving. Pulling the old turn-on-the-siren-just-long-enough-to-run-the-red-light trick. And for anyone who’s fantasized about making a citizen’s arrest of one of their city’s finest, police departments soon will be able to track how their cops are driving, and when they’re behaving badly. Ford has created a way for law enforcement bosses to see where their subordinates go and track how they’re driving.
