I don't know why I ever added this one, as I'd just started collecting diecast emergency vehicles at the time, and this fit in really well scale-wise.

I am hoping that we get a scaled-down Polizia Lambo in Speed Champions.

The stickers are a no, but it's not a bad rendition of a police car at small scale.

This was also the last year of these Tiny Turbos. There were only 4 sets for 2012 (the $10 pullback ones), outside of the Ferrari polies.

I've wonder if Huwbot is watching me! I just started building a 1930's-style police station tonight using 10217 (Borgin and Burkes building) as a baseline, and a heavily modified version of the gangster car from 7682 as a police car.

Funny how these things work out.

I used to have this set, I traded it for 7049 with a friend when I was in elementary school

Please don’t make me move to the city, I like it in the country!

I know I got two Tiny Turbos squad cars for parts, but I can’t remember if it’s this or 8665. Definitely not 7611. I also got one in 8186 (purchased solely to turn the two hydrants into tail fins on a 6-wide hotrod).

@sir_vasco:
Some did, and the foldout playsets that came with just one road section had a completely different car molded into the lid. Other versions of the standalone cars had lids shaped like half a wheel, I believe.

@PixelTheDragon:
That could just as easily be a civilian from any walk of life. LA driving sucks, and produces high incidences of road rage violence.

@MeisterDad:
8665 has you covered there!

This makes the LEGO City police look like wimps.

It's quite flawless as a set. Very few stickers also.

No doors or really space for a driver so this is clearly a drone! One of Bad Cop’s armada no doubt

Urban Enforcer...not overly 'crazy' about the name, but it looks like something Alex Murphy would climb out of; so that's plus.

I also like the use of RED and BLUE for the lights, and wish TLG would have that option in Fig-Sized Police and other such vehicles in North America...

I had a few Tiny Turbos. The amount of stickers was abhorrent, but the models themselves were cute.

Loved racers/Tiny Turbos - still think there is a gap for them ‘Speed Champions - minis’ kinda thing. There’s been enough Speed Champ polybags to show it can be done

70819: Bad Cop Car Chase is basicly the 6 wide minifig version.

Too bad that color scheme seemed limited to LEGO Movie 1.

I'd say this set's name aged terribly, but LEGO already covered that seven years prior with the Vahki

Honestly i just dislike racers alot. Im so glad it was replaced with speed champions. those boxes with that folded out were cool, it would have been nice to have a system version of those.

U R Ban Enforcer. It keeps banned user accounts from coming back.

Also, it's ironic because of the comments that think otherwise, but the police were nearly always the antagonists in Tiny Turbos, because street racing is illegal.

What's up with the Vahki name? I am not familiar with that being an issue.

I love this series.

I only have a couple - I didn't have the pocket change that I do at this point, but these were a lot of fun. I'd second the motion that Speed Champions needs to branch out to include sets like these.

@MCLegoboy

I bought all 4 as a 4 year old, I loved them

@brick_r:
The US may be their biggest single consumer-nation (for now), but Europe is still their biggest overall market, and still where City is most popular. From that standpoint alone, it makes sense that they’d favor European livery for City vehicles. For police in specific, it gets even more complicated. As far as I know, Fire Departments in the US primarily use red lights, often by law. Police use a variety of different setups. Michigan State Police favors these giant gumball-machine domes that only flash red*, despite years of pushback from the public wanting them to add blue lights to their cars. The incredibly obvious solution ended up being to do both. They kept the gumball lights, but added red and blue LED flashers to lightbars mounted inside the upper edge of the front and rear windshields, and a few other parts of the car (I believe the bull bars have some, and maybe the sideview mirrors).

I have almost never seen county sheriff vehicles, so I can’t remember what I’ve witnessed in terms of their emergency lights layout. Local vary a lot by jurisdiction. Small towns seem to be the last holdouts for the thick lightbar on the roof, possibly because it’s cheaper to purchase, or because they still haven’t retired the vehicles that came with them. Large cities have mostly shifted to LED systems, but I’ve seen the thin LED lightbars on the roof, I’ve seen LED lightbars mounted inside the car, I’ve seen traffic enforcement cars that come in all colors and all models (I’ve even seen a Ford Escort used for traffic), usually with no markings on the driver’s side, a stealth design on the right side, and the only obvious way to tell when you’re approaching one is that they look like they have dual sideview mirrors (one’s a mirror, the other is a spotlight that can be aimed using a handle inside the A-pillar).

*That I’m aware of, MSP always use their signature shade of blue paint, always (except for motorcycles, if they have them) have the gumball light on the roof, and more recently have had small signs mounted fin-style to the center of the hood identifying them as police. I have some theories as to why they make themselves so obvious, and it may have to do with being difficult to get away with faking (though rare, a few people have met bad ends after being pulled over by someone masquerading as a cop), with avoiding long chases where the evading driver is frantically telling 911 that they’re afraid of being pulled over by a fake cop, or even so that when you see them parked along a freeway it causes drivers to drive more responsibly.

@MrGurt:
The foldout boxes were pretty flawed. The lids didn’t attach very firmly, and the sides didn’t fully seal, so I often wondered about how easy it was to lose parts (in my home, LEGO sets were never outdoor toys for that very reason). Even worse to a kid, they used living hinges, so they would never lay completely flat when you had recently unfolded them. It may take a day or longer before they would fully relax into a flat road system.
