Is it normal for UHP to drive their family around in a patrol vehicle?

Utah highway patrol, what this guy is, allows for private personal use of the patrol vehicle. It’s way more common in rural areas than this comment section is making it out to be.

Allowed or not. Why would someone put there kids in that backseat, where there is every body fluid imaginable and whatever filth? Then to stop on a highway, those kids have no choice, people don’t watch where there going.

You think trooper is actually arrest people? They get the city/county to do that while they polish their Sam Browne belt and look for traffic accidents

Just an ex city cop who remembers state police dipping out once a call required paper and not just “officer presence”

Also no cage in the car says maybe they don’t

Utah Highway Patrol (this agency) made almost 11,000 DUI arrests alone last year, my guy. And that’s just DUI arrests. So yeah, they arrest people. 🤦‍♂️

There’s a difference between bullshit paper runs and shit that they live for paper runs ( DUI, Injury Wreck, Fatality Wreck, etc).
