The McHenry County Sheriff's Department rolled its "tank", MARV, to Algonquin on a reported stand-off situation. The suspect reportedly shot himself inside a home.
I've wondered for years if MARV is street-legal. I think it's not. How is it transported to the scene? Does it run there under its own power? Or is it hauled there on a flatbed or trailer?
Does you suppose that a cost-benefit ratio has ever been conducted on MARV? How many times in a year is it used? Once? (Not counting parades.)

Gus you need to think of MARV like the pistol you are frothing at the mouth want to wear under your jacket. You only need it once to make it worth while.

Does driving MARV require special training and/or licensing? Are there designated drivers?
Who took Sgt. Pyle's place as a driver?
Are only deputies allowed to drive MARV? What risk to the pocketbook of McHenry County residents exists, if a civilian employee of MCSD drives MARV to a crime scene and gets into a crash or gets hurt at the crime scene?
If MARV is driven (illegally) on public roadways to a crime scene, is it escorted by deputies leading and following it?
Truly a case of, the only difference between men and boys is the price of the toys.
John, the same with parachutes. It's better to have one and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
But, if I ask for a parachute when I'm about to board a United Air Lines plane for a flight to New York, TSA will carry me away.
