Lotsa policemen take their squadcar home...especially if it's a small district.

But he started his very first shift less than 1/2 hr before he was at home.Either he was late leaving for work or he went straight home after getting the car.
 
He may have gotten the car the night before, and may have been "on duty" although he wasn't out driving around. That would assume he had his radio on him and was in uniform. Maybe he was jonesing for a ham and cheese hot pocket or something.

Did you guys notice the name of the town?
 
And then there's this ...

Discipline, as it should be, for police who abuse their position; and it wasn't even this guy's first day.

Cop Fired for Using Badge to Demand Free Starbucks
Thursday, July 17, 2008

A veteran police officer was discharged from a Florida police force when complaints he intimidated Starbucks employees for free mochas filtered up to the chief of police.

Lt. Major Garvin of the Daytona Beach, Fla., police department frequented the Starbucks outlet as often as six times a shift and refused to pay, according to a report by MyFOXOrlando.com. Though free filtered coffee is offered to members of the force, Garvin’s demands for white mochas and specialty iced teas went above and beyond Starbucks' call of duty.

Garvin allegedly insisted he required the free coffees to serve and protect, MyFOXOrlando.com said.

"If something happens we could respond really fast or really slow — the difference between you getting a two-minute response time or a 15-minute response time,“ Garvin reportedly told a Starbucks employee.

Garvin was discharged after he failed a polygraph test when confronted with the allegations, according to the Daytona Beach police chief.
