ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — Imagine the Batmobile busting bad guys in Bismarck, North Dakota, or “Knight Rider’s” KITT corralling criminals on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Carbon Motors Corp.’s E7 concept vehicle was on display recently near the U.S. Capitol.

Carbon Motors Corp.’s new high-tech cop car prototype might not be quite up to superhero specs, but some police say it could be a welcome addition to their arsenal.

“I don’t see any downside to this car,” said Carl Latorre, a Pennsylvania State Police dispatcher who served 35 years as a Philadelphia police officer. “I am so excited about this car. This car rates up there with cops carrying automatic weapons to combat what the criminals carry now. It’s about time that something like this came about.”

OK, so it doesn’t have a nanotech cloaking capability or rocket boosters, but every feature on the Carbon E7 concept vehicle draws on suggestions from more than 3,000 law enforcement professionals.

You’ve got to be kidding me. A place like Bismarck, ND even has an opinion on something like this? Talk about complete overkill. We already got more cops per capita than any other city in the nation and now they need “supercars” to handle our extremely low crime rate?

Keep spending money foolishly like this and we will end up in the same budget scenario as California.
