When an Italian police force was given two Lamborghini Gallardos in the mid-2000s, there was at least some pretext: The Polizia Stradale were to respond to emergencies along the lengthy Salerno-Reggio Calabria freeway, and the cars were kitted out with organ transplant coolers in the luggage compartment.

Dubai Police got the same ink, but made no such claims when they pulled the sheets off of a Lamborghini Aventador done up in their green and white livery.
