We have extended family that still lives there, and I’m sure they do. My branch of the family moved to the US in 1894.

I’m German actually, but spent a lot of time in the Netherlands as a teenager, so I saw the cool police Porsches.

Since your family is from Friesland, do they or you speak Friesisch?

In the Netherlands, the highway patrol uses Porsche 911s, since they can keep up with and overtake even the worst of speeders.

According to a buddy of mine in the Beaverton PD, the transition from Crown Vics to Chargers is driven by the fact that Crown Vic engines tend to fry during high speed chases that last too long. Apparently the Charger can pretty much go on forever, and police forces nationwide are beginning to recognize it.
