The answer is because while Lapine's toys may be safer, procedure means being able to throw more bureaucracy up infront of anyone that's going to make inquiries. And given the circumstances, a loose deception might make people go for that route first. Especially as some of the bureaucratic cover would look a bit like that for a source. Which is the best that could be done for something on this scale.<br/><br/>And with the chroming present in the officers, Lapine gets easily lifted and carried out just as she likes (and a little acting to make it look like Lapine was kicking drunkenly and not being carried out with intent to Moon). The parenthetical is important because it allows for more pausing around entrances and egresses and thus more time for Lapine to be seen. Even if privacy laws mean that the newscasts and almost up to the moment streams will be censored.<br/><br/>Officer Anderson, it turns out, was behind the wheel for this one, a fact she laments as she sends Lapine a pic of what the vehicle and its mirrors saw of her being carried in. Somebody managed to delete some of the advanced drive communication protocols from enough of the vans that anyone with enough driving training got short listed to that position. Of course, the picture isn't great as most of this vehicles cameras are more interested in distant things, but at least one of the pictures actually deserves the caption of 'Hot Legs.'<br/><br/><br/>"So," Andy asks at a long red light "do you have the best luck or the worst?"
