Maybe you could stop and ask them to stage a pic like that. 
Sometimes cops use cars that were impounded. Every once in a while you hear about a nice car that was seized that they converted to Police use.
lol wouldn't that make ya ****... i knew a local police force back home that had a 4 door turbo sentra used as a highway pursuit car.. i don't know what you would do when you caught up to the offender... but it was still cool to see back in the day! i still have no idea where it came from.. probably donated but i'd like to know who did the work..

Probably not used to take in criminals and what not. My town has an HHR police car has all the markings and what not but I think they just use it to go around to the schools and stuff like that. The next town over has a new beetle car like that so I'm thinking the Cobalt car is probably not used for chasing down the bad guys.

Thanksgiving night (the Canadian one), just a couple weeks after getting my TC, I was pulling onto one of the faster roads in my small city. No one in sight. Half way through the intersection a Pontiac G8 comes flying through the red light and would have t-boned me if I didn't gun it. I was all the way turned around and just about to go after him and get a plate number or something but I looked over and I see a cop come skidding around the corner waaaaaaaay behind him. I should have just chased him for them haha.
and it was my friends old G8 that he had just traded in so I found out who the guy is a couple weeks later and he wasn't too happy I called him out on it and had a pretty big freak out haha.

we always had a Honda SiR police car at my old high school

I remember a thread that had a link on it to another forum where the cops were all talking about how a Cobalt SS ran from them and lost them, and they were all freaking out about how they all wanted new/upgraded patrol cars, since "even a Cobalt can get away from [them]".
It happened in Ennis, TX if I remember right.

Surprised you were able to dig it up. Search can be difficult sometimes.

Well some areas make the cops buy their own cars, so maybe the guy just wanted to go cheap and pocket the rest or something.
It also makes for some cool cars though. I've been tuning a Camaro Interceptor for a local department. It's blacked out with ghost writing on the side. It's completely tricked out on the inside, with a monitor panel that folds out of the ceiling on the passenger side and stuff like that. It's very cool. He's done a very tasteful job with it IMO. He says some people go blasting past him without noticing he's a cop though. lol He said one old man in a Corvette thought he was wanting to run him when he came along side and had him until he put on the lights and pulled him over. lol He said he let the guy off with a warning though because he felt like he kinda started it with the guy.
