Ride along as Jason OldeCarrGuy Carr and John CustomCarNerd Meyer talk about the new policy to decommission all Royal Canadian Mounted Police cars by sending them to the crusher.

This new policy, born from a horrific crime spree in April 2020, no longer allows decommissioned police vehicle from being sold at auction. The cars, and other vehicles, are being stored and crushed at the expense of the Canadian tax payers. Understanding the thought behind preventing another tragedy, as car guys, Jason and John give their take on this policy.

Decommissioned police cars have long been an economical way for young automotive enthusiasts to get into the automotive hobby. The hobby is filled with those who lovingly restore vintage police, fire and other emergency vehicles. And let's not forget emergency vehicles in Hollywood, such as the Bluesmobile. This iconic car was recreated by a fan, Brian Scanlon from an old police car and is now the Official Bluesmobile. Listen to the guy's take and then be sure to let us know what you think!
