Continued from Page 1
LTD Officer Tim Bulski, who
holped start the UIJ1I car pro
gram, said LI’D's DllII car may
bo Ihc only one of Its kind in
the United Slates. He said other
cities that were targeted by the
Contury Coalition usod their
money to buy DUH equipment
for normal police cars, but did
not get one specific car. as Eu
gene did.
The inside of the car is quite
impressive. A $5,500 camera
that hangs down from the ceil
ing of the cor can rotate 3<>0 de
grees to tape from all angles
When Harvey drives the car
the camera points straight
ahead and tapes.
A three-inch monitor located
in the center of the car's dash
hoard shows a clear picture of
what the camera is recording
Harvev also wears a cordless
microphone that transmits back
to the t ar The images raptured
by the camera and the sounds
recorded by the cordless micro
phone are both put on a VHS
cassette tape that is locked in
the trunk of the t ar.
The car, which has been in
service since Sept Hi, is also
equipped with a S3,000 lap-top
computer and radar.
Once on the the streets, Har
vey exploined his mission. He
said the DIJ1I car's sole purpose
is to arrest drunken drivers. He
can go wherever he wants and
does not normally respond to
other calls.
However, Harvey said ho
pulls people over lor a variety
of offenses.
"Of my 32H DUlIs, I've only
pulled over about eight people
because I thought they wore
drunk,” he said,
Harvey suid radar is very use
ful because most of the drunk
en drivers he arrests are origi
