Did you know that you can buy used police interceptors? Cruisers are often sent off to auction when departments get new vehicles. However, one man bought a police interceptor with traumatizing case evidence left inside. 

Man with a used police SUV finds leftover case evidence 

When police interceptors are decommissioned they are often auctioned off to the public. This means you can score a well-maintained vehicle with some pretty cool engine and equipment upgrades at a cheap price. 

However, Crown Rick Auto, a YouTuber, bought more than he bargained for after winning the bid on a used police SUV.  

He won the bid on a fast and exciting Ford Explorer police interceptor that was used to patrol the streets of San Diego. 

After transporting it to a Sacramento garage he got to work. The plan was to strip the Ford SUV of all of its police related gear and provide a fresh coat of paint to flip it. 

But then he noticed that the interior had a pretty bad smell and tried to find the source. While going through the glove box, Rick found a digital camera. 

Upon looking at the images on the SD card, he immediately called the police. The photos are too graphic to post online. They include shots of injuries to women’s arms and legs. 

A few of the less graphic images include bullet holes, damaged construction sites, and images of a vehicle that hit a school. 

The police officer he spoke with shared that he is interested in recovering the camera. However, the evidentiary chain of custody was broken. The images are probably inadmissible in a criminal case. 

Rick agreed to send the camera to the police station in San Diego, but he might decide to send the SD card and keep the camera. 

A camera is a nice bonus to his auction win. But now he has to live with the graphic images he found. Remember what you might get into with a used police SUV like a Ford Explorer!
