Picture this: you’re cruising through the English countryside — soaking in the sheep, quaint cottages, and rolling green hills — when all of a sudden you spot a Broward County cop car. For most Floridians, it’s the kind of thing you would blame on jetlag, or perhaps that extra shot of bourbon you took right before the flight across the pond. For Rodney Price, the sight was very real. Earlier this month, Price was sightseeing in the UK, when he spotted a black-and-green Broward County Sheriff’s Office (BSO) cruiser parked in a parking lot in Stevenage, a town about 30 miles north of London. Price took a selfie with the car and posted it on social media with the caption: “I’m not sure what it’s doing here, but a Broward County Sheriff’s car is something probably not seen in England very much.” So, how did a cop car from Florida wind up in England? Nobody really knows for sure, but the Broward County Sheriff’s Office says that they auction off police cars and equipment all the time. “If the vehicle in the photo was a BSO vehicle, all the police equipment seen on the vehicle would have been installed after it was sold,” said BSO spokesperson Veda Coleman-Wright. While it's uncertain if this is the first sighting of a BSO vehicle abroad, American police cars have previously been spotted on European streets.
