I stumbled across this article while reading stuff online. I don't know why Ventura California is using armored vehicles or IF they are or really what is going on. It does say ventura police on the vehicle. Here is the link http://uswgo.com/ventura-ca-police-u...he-streets.htm

I thought it was interesting, but I don't know the law about armored vehicles and the police or if there is one. Perhaps police departments often use armored vehicles. They certainly used them in Pittsburgh during the G20 summit. I don't remember seeing them before though. But that doesn't mean it isn't a usual thing. It seems scary though. What do police departments need armored vehicles for?

They are at the mall? Is it usual for armed vehicles with Ventura Police on them to be at the mall? Even if there is a protest or whatever. I mean do police departments have armored vehicles?
