WILSON CAMERA WE ARE
GETTING READY FOR
CHANGES IN THE FORECAST.
6:45 A.M.
SANDRA: THERE IS A DEBATE
HEATING UP IN LAGUNA BEACH ABOUT
THE CITY'S NEW POLICE CAR DESIGN
PETER: THAT'S BECAUSE THERE IS A
FLAG AT PATTERN ON SIDE OF THE
POLICE VEHICLE AND CBS2 IS HERE
WITH MORE.
REPORTER: IT'S INTERESTING TO
SEE HOW PASSIONATE ON BOTH SIDES
PEOPLE ARE BUT IT COULD BE BACK
TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR THE
LAGUNA BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT
AS A CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS SET
TO VOTE ON WHETHER TO KEEP OR
GET RID OF THE NEW DESIGN.
THE NEW PATRIOTIC LOGO
WAS PLACED ON SOME CARS
IN FEBRUARY AFTER THE
CITY SWITCHED IT TO MORE
TRADITIONAL
BLACK-AND-WHITE VEHICLES
SOME WENT BEFORE THE
CITY COUNCIL LAST MONTH
AND COMPLAINED IT'S TOO
AGGRESSIVE AND NOT IN
KEEPING WITH THE
ARTISTIC VIBE OF LAGUNA.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF
PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE NEW
LOOK INCLUDING CITY
COUNCILMAN PETER BLAKE.
THIS IS A GOVERNMENT
THEN GO DRIVEN BY
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES IN
THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, I MEAN, COME ON
, WE CAN SIT HERE AND
TALK ABOUT THIS ALL DAY
LONG.
IT'S STILL A JOKE.
I MEAN, THE BADGE ON
THE SIDE OF THE CARS ALL
WE NEED TO SEE, DOESN'T
NEED TO BILLBOARD YOU
ARE POLICE.
WE KNOW THAT AND
HONESTLY YOU CAN SAVE
MONEY BY NOT PUTTING THE
PICTURE ON.
REPORTER: THE LAGUNA BEACH
POLICE EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATION SAYS
THE OFFICERS LOVE THE DESIGN AND
SAY THE FLAG SYMBOLIZES ALL OF
THE GOOD THINGS THE CITY,
COUNTRY INTO STATES STRIVE TO
ACHIEVE.
THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
IS SET FOR 6:00 P.M.
TONIGHT AND THEY WILL
LISTEN TO OPINIONS AND
VOTING AGAIN IF THE
DESIGN WILL STAY OR GO.
