The CHP Busts the Geek Squad

Silly security: the California Highway Patrol is making the Geek Squad repaint their black and white VW Beetle because they "look so much like their patrol cars." A CHP spokesperson said:/div>
If a new driver or an older driver sees this black and white vehicle they might think it's the police — they've got uniforms on and they've got badges on and could be mistaken for an officer.
It would be funny if the CHP hadn't actually issued a ticket to a Geek Squad employee for impersonating an officer.
