My guess is that it being a police car dramatically increases the sentence and chance of being caught.

>chance of being caught.

huh, because you almost never see the cops caught committing crimes with their own dash cams. Seems to always be off when they commit a crime in front of their car.

Meanwhile, if the police destroy your car, they don't even get charged. See the video of them slashing tires in Minneapolis. One law for them, another for us.

If only the FBI used the same zeal in going after the perpetrators of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wk-mRv1Nlo
