I've got a question about the NYPD squad cars - Wave?

What are those things behind the light bars, the white tubs with red ends?

They're commonly called 'highway bars.' They pivot up to a vertical position so that the rmp is visible at a greater distance. Here's a pic of them in the raised position:

Yup, the Higway package vehicles are usually given to (Duh)Higway Patrol as well as Pct. Summons Officers, guys that can use more visibility to oncoming traffic during carstops on highways and streets.

By the way nice pic of the Port Authority PD of NY/NJ vehicle. Just got my letter from them...hopefully I'll get to drive around in one of their cars soon.

Because I like .308(M1A Scout Squad Rifle, AR-10), 7.62x39mm(RPK-47) and 5.45x39mm(AK-103) better.

I dunno, a mod of AR15.com without an AR15. It just doesn't seem right.
