In the upper left hand corner you can see the white round thing? That’s the rear-facing radar antenna module; aimed out the
back window to measure car speeds from any cars behind me – coming or going. Also present in a black case is an AED, which
fortunately I never had to use. And a spike strip is present, but kind of camouflaged here. Also a ballistic SWAT-type helmet, to
be used if shit got really serious. I didn’t have to get into the back too often, if I did it would be to either get the sharps container
