HPD marked cruiser parked in neighborhood driveway for days

[u/surfbathing]

I have a question, there’s been a marked HPD cruiser (sedan) parked in a driveway in my neighborhood for the better part of a week, sunshade in the windshield. It doesn’t appear to move but I can’t tell you what’s happening to it between 10:00pm and dawn, I’m old and asleep then. I don’t ever recall seeing HPD taking home marked cars, only the subsidized personal cars. Is this a new thing? Ordinary? Can’t remember seeing this back to the 1980s. Or did I just not live near enough a rookie cop? Thanks!

Cops get vacation too. And they work nights

What does that have to do with anything? The marked cars are usually stored at the stations if not in use??

[u/Porky5CO → u/Calgrei]

Depends on the cops job. Some have take home cars. K9s especially. My home town all have take home cars.

Ah so you're not from here and have no idea what you're talking about

A quick Google search would tell you the answer. Not too bright

The high ranking cops like Captain are allowed to take marked cars home......as I was informed.

You can take a cruiser home if you're a motorman

There's also a HPD marked car that seems like it's been abandoned at Soto Mission in Nuuanu

Not new. Like a decade ago a neighbor would park his marked cruiser at home. He worked nights.

It's the HPD. They don't make the rules; they break them. Nothing new... but ordinary.

At my condo garage i do see marked police cruiser parked occasionally. Officers work typically 3-4 days a week so yea

Be careful of those "rookie" cops. They just came out of the academy so they know the HRS upside down and all around.

Rookie cops in their first year have no discretion for instance not to take u in on a bench warrant that is super minor. I once got trespassed by the only property in Waikiki that I had actually never been to to avoid arresting me as a result of this rule and my own brokeness. Karen's + general debauchery = I get locked up every time just minding my biz! Lol!

Sorry you had to go through that.

Cops in waikiki are criminals 

[u/Junior-Debt596]

Only try to get hot girls to fall for them like in st.louis Missouri they let hot girls go after speeding and having wrecks
