I've never heard such a thing. Besides, it's a fully marked vehicle, that's going to be used for responses in public, and you're only shooting the non-descript outside. Id understand if you're photographing undercover FBI units, but this? What crawled up thier putukus and died?
Once the thing's in public, and in plain public view, it's open season to shoot the heck out of it.[/quote]
