Well, there are two reasons for this.  The first is to simply reduce production cost by find the cheapest parts. The second is that there are some fair business acts from congress and from different states.  Those acts restrictly require you to buy parts from different manufacturers, so the smaller player in the field can suvive. Sometimes, a big company like Ford have to buy expensive parts from small suppliers in a higher price just too satisfy these regulation.  \nTo find out these acts, check out your own states ".gov" site.

Police have always asked for more powers, but when these powers have been granted, they have been abused, and not used for the intended purpose.\nFor example, Anti-terrorism measures are more often used against peaceful protesters than suspected terrorists.\nThe founding fathers created a system of government primarily to protect the rights of themselves (the rich), but they realized that too much power in hands of the government could lead to a fascist police state.\nThe civil rights we have now were not given to us we had to fight for every one of them, now they are being taken away, but only as long as the people allow this to happen.\nThe government is very scared of the people, and justifiably so, it is only a matter of time till their clique is kicked out of office, and a more representative and participatory system of government is formed.

I seem to remember reading that the early American colonists didn't much like the principle of taxation without representation. \n\nThe US role as "the world police" is purely self appointed and purely in the interests of protecting the American Empire, which has at it's heart the protection of the American economy and globalisation.\n\nIf you bother reading a slight amount of world history, you will see that the US used to complain about us Brits doing exactly the thing.

I do, I had to follow them when I entered the US.  I can not understand why everyone is up in arms about enforcing a law?  That is like the cops stopping to pull over people for speeding?

In other countries such as Canada and Australia federal law enforcemet is under controll of one agency such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or Australian Federal Police, except for some specialized agencies such as Customs and Immigration. There are benefits and drawbacks to the one agency set up. The central chain of command makes for no rivalries between other agencies but also when "you" do "everything" its easy to become a generalist and loose touch of the specialties that make each agency special. I've always admired the U.S. for having the resources to have set up separate law enforcement agencies to investigate different types of of offences. Besides It's always easier to become really good at doing one thing than being good at doing everything.

Almost every state has laws that authorize law enforcement to exceed the speed limit during the course of their duties, as most receive special training to drive at faster speeds. The reasoning for this is that there are times when you don't want to draw attention to yourself as you attempting to get somewhere thereby alerting the bad guys.

Most states have laws that designate what color marked police cars are. The reason white is so popular is because with colored cars, you sometimes get different lots of paint. So the brown car you bought in 2002 may not look the same as the brown car you bought in 2004. Hope this helps.

Ford, hands down, there American too. Who cares about Honda and Toyota, if your not buying American then in my opinion your not American. When you buy a foreign car your money goes over seas, sure they have manufacturing facilities here, however, let's not make another country rich from our hard work.

The police interceptors are usually less luxurious than the civilian crown vic the police version has a stiffer ride,  gas mileage probably isn't that great its a big car that weighs alot. The police version is a more beefed up car. have you ever been in a crown vic cab it was most likely an old police interceptor here are the major differences in the two\n\nFollowing is a list of the police package equipment incorporated into a Crown Victoria by Ford Motor Co. This is representative* of the differences between a police interceptor and a civilian model. These options were on the interceptors not the civilian models.\n\nBrakes/4 wheel disk/police level \nCalifornia emission system \nQuick ratio power steering\nSpeed rated 'all season' BSW tires \nFull size spare tire \nCertified speedometer calibration  \nFront and rear stabilizer bars \nRemote deck lid release\nEngine compartment light\nSingle key locking \nDual beam dome light (ticket light)\nDual exhaust\nCooling pkg/police level  Engine oil cooler\nTransmission oil cooler \nPower steering oil cooler  \nHeavy duty battery \nHeavy duty alternator  \nHeavy duty U-Joints \nHeavy duty suspension \nHeavy duty wheel rims\nHeavy duty frame (chassis)  \nHeavy duty springs \nHeavy duty drive shaft\nAuxiliary power points\nLimited slip rear differential\n\n i hope this helps

I don't know about the rest of the country, but speed traps on highways are very popular where I live.  Some towns finance over half of their annual budgets with speeding tickets to out-of-town drivers.

click it or ticket is something that's going on across the nation, meaning that now cops are allowed to pull people over simply for not wearing their seat belts, where as they used to have to have another reason and then if they weren't wearing their belts then they could issue them a ticket.\nthey are doing this because seatbelts save lives... yes there are some cases where a person would have died if they had been wearing their seat belt, but the odds are so much more in favor that a seat belt will save your life...\nlike the person above said... they are tired of scraping people off the roads...

Ford produced the concept Ford Nucleon, but a nuclear car is unlikely to ever exist. Selling nuclear material to the public in quantities larger than a smoke detector isn't exactly safe, they could be used by terrorists to create a dirty bomb, you'd have to evacuate an area for a million years every time there was a car crash, and the weight of the shielding would be just a bit of a problem.

its a disgrace that anything other than an american should be in an american sport such as NASCAR. Its tradition here that is getting hurt, NASCAR is an american thing and should have american cars.

Because the FBI does not go around writing speeding tickets. The FBI handles special investigations hence the name special agent. The FBI also requires higher education and more training then your local police officer who is writing you a citation. What I want to know is what you did to have the Feds talking to you.

Because they have pressure from American oil tycoons.  Look at your president!  We have capability to have cars run on hydrogen but because oil people don't like it, no one make it in great numbers.

Because cops are racist.
