Remarkable capture DA.  

Kind of reminds me of seeing two policeman sitting in their cars while talking about the day's tasks ahead of them.  My youngest grandson thought they didn't know how to park as they were facing different directions and I had to explain to him that it was so the windows next to the driver would be closest to each other.  He then wanted to know why they didn't just get out and talk.  I told him they enjoyed the cold AC blowing on them but had to monitor their car radios.  (Hope I was right as was only speculating.)

Nice one!!

If the movies are right they only get out for donuts.

     They sure get portrayed that way.

Not forgetting that old TV show Chips.

I haven't seen re-runs of that show in years now.  I do remember the Sheriff in the movie Smokey and the Bandit II was portrayed as a big donut eater.

I did  a little googling on why cops eat donuts.  Here is what I found from an actual police officer that had over 26 years on the job.

" 1st of all police officers do not get a lunch break, you have to grab a bite when you can get one and many times that is doughnut shop.  2ndly: On the midnight shift many times the only places open at 4 or 5 AM are doughnut shops and that time of the day it is usually the slowest so you take what you can get. It is nearly impossible to get a chance to grab a bite between 9 PM and 3 AM.  3rd. it has also become almost legendary that cops eat donuts and in my 26 years on the force, I probably stopped at doughnut shops more than any other place. They also usually have great coffee. In addition over the years many cops opened doughnut shops. In one town in Michigan an entire police department bought a doughnut shop that was going out of business. They also with the help of Paramount Coffee started selling on a national basis Cops Coffee. Dunken Donuts was started by a retired cop and for years there policy was free coffee for cops after midnight. In the early years beat cops used to stop at bakeries while the bakers were just starting there day and were usually treated to a doughnut or two. And the final, doughnuts are easy to carry in a bag in squad car and keep for a long time."

That looks similar to the way we stop to have a chat while in tractors/cars/bicycles/motorbikes etc. here at Sastamala. XD

Anyhow, nice picture

I really loved the Smokey and the Bandit films growing up,  and the gum ball ones too.

They sure were some great films.    I miss seeing Burt Reynolds in films.  I did meet him years back down in Jupiter, Florida.  He seemed like a really nice, down to earth guy.

I never knew there was a place called Jupiter in Florida.

Jupiter is now one of the most desirable places to live in the State of Florida.  Population is just over 66,000.  Less than 3% unemployment.  50% below the US average for crime.  Over 60% of residents have a college degree.  44% of residents make over $100K annually.  Median home cost is $385K.  Top rate public schools.  It really is the "pearl" of Palm Beach County.

It really is a nice place.  Can't believe how much it has grown over the last 10 years.

I was amazed how well the google street view was available there,  you can have a really good virtual look around.

My daughter lives in a new neighborhood and she has seen the "Google Cars" with their cameras mounted on top in her neighborhood very recently.  I have no idea how often they update the street views but they do seem to be fairly current.

In the google maps app you can go back in time in street view,  so you can see how often they have been past.    Ive seen the street view car here a few times but not appeared on the map,  I suspect many times Ive seen it,  it wasnt filming.

Can you imagine the amount of data they have collected over the years via the internet and their google cars?  Has to be unfathomable.  I bet it is in the Petabytes or maybe even Exabytes or Zettabytes.

Last estimate I saw was around 10'000 petabytes but that must have gone up since then.

That's an incredible amount of data.  Good thing they are using AI to sift through all that data as it would be an impossible task for a human to do.

Just think of the cost of paying people to do it.

Even with all the profits that Google makes it would prove to be cost prohibitive.  

Nice shot!
Almost as if they are drawing.
