In 1980s Miami, the drug lord’s Porsche could end up chasing the next drug lord 🚔🏎️

During the height of the city’s cocaine era, police in Miami turned some of the luxury cars seized from traffickers, including Porsche 911s, into working patrol vehicles. With tight budgets making new cruisers hard to come by, putting confiscated high-performance machines on the streets was a practical fix.

It also made a statement. Seeing a dealer’s flashy sports car with police markings on the doors sent a clear message that the profits of crime could be turned right back against the people who earned them.
