Now that you can download a free pack of police cars, Midnight Club: Los Angeles goes from "eff tha police" to "be tha police". A vehicle showroom will sell you your own black-and-white police cruisers, available in two different models. There's a '96 Impala (pictured) and a more recent Dodge Charger, each sold as either the standard LAPD version or a souped-up variant for the California Highway Patrol. The Charger also comes in an ugly green-and-white color scheme labeled "BP". Since when does British Petroleum patrol the streets of Los Angeles?

You can drive your brand new cop car around with the siren on, but Midnight Club is extra realistic in that the Los Angeles drivers are too dumb to pull over. However, the real advantage of driving a cop car is that you are above the law. Normally, if you run red lights, bang into other people's shiny new cars, or cut through the Paramount backlot, the cops will chase you. If they catch you, you'll have to pay a fine. But if you do these things in your new police car, the cops couldn't care less.
