So quintessentially Italian. But ironically, almost also French in how the aesthetic doesn't live up to practical use. ;)

As someone who just spent the past three weeks speeding along at 160km/h on the Italian autostrade in a Ford Fiesta (really not quite the same as this cop car), you really can't go faster than 120mph (200km/h) anywhere for any time. Even for all the German station wagons that whipped by in the passing lane, the doubling up of passing trucks or the regular construction that closes off lanes prevents that kind of speeding.

there are many pressure points you can apply on a person

most will immobilize someone, unless their on drugs, or just crazy........
